We are excited to share a new technique that we will explore together.

Soulful Art begins with a morning session, break for lunch and social time, and continues with an afternoon session.
Come for one or both. Enjoy a Souper Soul Soup Lunch with us too.

Common Ground: Interfaith Conversation and Lunch
Mark your calendar for Third Thursdays each month where we gather over a delicious lunch and share stories, insights and traditions around a theme - through the lived experiences and teachings of various faiths.
The theme for May is Spiritual Authority. Join us for a fascinating discussion about questions of authority from different faith perspectives. Inspired by this month’s Conclave, we will discuss how various traditions structure and deliver spiritual authority; how people find guidance through their faith community; how our interactions with authority inform and nurture our personal relationship with the Divine; and the role of hierarchy in religious authority over us. We will be talking through various lenses: global sense, practical and even local perspectives. We will explore stories, experiences and questions.
As one of our regular programs, Common Ground speaks to our Core Values of Brave Vulnerability, Cultivation, Chesed, Cross Pollination and the sharing of Sacred Stories.
