Open Spirit

Honoring the Dark: Trusting the Promise of the Light
In this holiday season, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and isolated, especially if you are grieving. Whatever is going on in our lives, we can become caught up with busyness and forget to honor the natural rhythms of our bodies and our earth.
Join us virtually or in person on the longest night of the year for an hour of gentle yoga, deep relaxation, and guided meditation. We will draw inspiration from a variety of spiritual traditions as we honor the wide range of emotions that are stirred this time of year, and as we point to the promise of the return of light and hope.
Sit on a chair or use a yoga mat; bring a candle to light.
Led by Debbie Clark.
There is no charge for this event; donations to support Open Spirit are appreciated.
​This event will be held in Edwards Hall and via Zoom. The Zoom link will be posted on <a href="https://www.openspiritcenter.org/special-events" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> prior to the program.

Spirituality and Poetry; Grounded in Awe led by poet Lisa Breger
What stirs in us when we reach for a poem, whether sitting down to write or read the work of a favorite poet? Why do poems stay with us and continue to inform our lives?
In this workshop, we’ll approach poetry as a vehicle for living more fully in the present and deepening our humanity. Each month we’ll focus on an element of craft in the context of a particular theme to generate new work.
This class is for anyone interested in poetry as a spiritual practice and no previous writing experience is required to enjoy the pleasures of creative expression. Come join us and be inspired!
​This class will be held in Edwards Hall.&nbsp;
No previous poetry writing experience required.&nbsp;
RSVPs are appreciated. To RSVP, <a href="https://forms.gle/UH6mPnvTxrLi7wEJ9" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">click here.</a>
