Taize' Chanting

Spend a peaceful, prayerful hour of music and prayer in the style of the Taize’, France, ecumenical Christian monastic fraternity.

The community, founded in 1940 by Brother Roger Schuetz, a Reformed Protestant, is composed of more than one hundred brothers, from Catholic and Protestant traditions, who originate from about thirty countries around the world.

The chanting moves one into silent meditation to prepare one’s self for the rest of the weekend.

The music, in the form of chanting, is aimed at praising God and drawing one deeper into relationship with The Divine. The practice of chanting allows a person to experience the echoing power of prayer throughout your day. Taize’ music can help a person establish a rhythm of contemplative prayer, along the lines of Paul of Tarsus’ encouragement to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess 5:17 KJV).

Time and dates: 7 – 8 pm on Fridays Sept 22nd, Oct 13th, Nov 10th, Dec 8th

Native American Talking Circle

Our Native Talking Circle is an experience in an Ojibway method of communication and interaction. Yes, we gather in a circle as a circle has no head or leader. Yes, one of us will facilitate as the need arises.

Our Circle is open to all who share space in the sacred hoop of life. We acknowledge that all races, beliefs, life orientations, and created ones share in this Sacred Hoop/Space of life. As our community is evolving, so too is the culture of those who gather. Each participant contributes to our culture.

We enter the Circle knowing that each and all of us has a story. To each story we offer our respect with the knowledge that every story is good and will be received with pride, dignity, honor and respect. (nahmahji)

There are protocols we follow which are shared and explained. For instance, we ask women to wear skirts at least to mid-calf, and that men wear long pants. We ask that all wear shirts that cover shoulders and mid-drift. When speaking, the speaker holds a sacred item, usually an eagle feather. The speaker holds their space and may share in silence or with words. Others in the Circle honor that space with our attention, care, silence, and confidentiality.

Other practices are shared with respect to our ancestral teaching

Again, all are welcome
