This Sunday, May 3 at 10am. Join the community in ceremony to honor the creation of all life, the universe, and beyond. Guided by Eco Chaplain Circe Moss MacDonald and Druid Priest Magnus de Rhuddlan, the Cosmic Mass ritual is experienced in four parts: Via Positiva (awe and joy), Via Negativa (silence and grief), Via Creativa (creativity and rebirth), and Via Transformativa (justic, compassion, and action). Come celebrate the fullness of being alive in the moment with reverence, joy, conversation, and movement. Live music provided by the BaHaVa Vibe Rhythm Tribe led by Rev Todd Glacy. Cosmic Mass was developed by Matthew Fox and his teachings on Creation Spirituality.

The web is fraying. Come help mend it. We are all carrying conflict in our bodies right now; our own, and the world's. It moves through us like radio waves. Cosmic Mass: Mending the Web is a two-hour ceremony to name that weight, move it through our bodies, and discover together what it looks like to transform conflict rather than just endure it.
We're so excited to welcome Melody Stanford Martin, Executive Director of the Restorative Justice Institute, as our special guest. Melody's work teaches that conflict doesn't have to break us. Faced with courage and care, it's actually how relationships become resilient.
Expect embodied ritual, live music, movement, yarn (yes, yarn), honest conversation, and joy.
