Multi-Faith Music and Meditation
Upcoming Services:
Sunday, October 5, 7pm – Emptiness & Openness
“Healthy mysticism praises acts of letting go, of being emptied, of getting in touch with the space inside and expanding this until it merges with the space outside. Space meeting space, empty pouring into empty. Birth happens from that encounter with emptiness, nothingness…
Let us not fight emptiness and nothingness, but allow it to penetrate us even as we penetrate it.”
—Matthew Fox, “Creation Spirituality: Liberating Gifts for the Peoples of the Earth”
Sunday, October 19, 7pm – Festival of Light – Diwali
We join with our brothers and sisters from the Hindu, Jain and Sikh traditions in celebrating Diwali, one of the major religious festivals in those faiths. This Festival of Light lasts for five days, usually falling in late October and into November. The name is derived from the Sanskrit term dipavali, meaning “row of lights.” The festival generally symbolizes the victory of light over darkness. We begin by chanting Om Asatoma, an essential prayer from the Upanishads, which translates: “Lead us from untruth to Truth; from darkness to Light; from death to Immortality”
