Programs

Explore Our Offerings for Spiritual Growth

As part of our commitment to nurturing spiritualities of peace and justice, we offer a variety of programs throughout the year, ranging from monthly gatherings to one-time events. These opportunities support both personal growth and community life, inviting you to explore new depths of spirituality.

Our programs include meditation sittings, guided retreats, lectures, creative workshops, and more. Each event is designed to engage spirituality in unique and meaningful ways, whether through interfaith perspectives, Catholic traditions, or non-denominational Christian practices. We aim not to shape your spiritual identity but to support your journey, resourcing both your inner reflection and your outward actions.

All our programs are offered free of charge. If you feel called to do so, free-will donations are graciously accepted and help us continue making these experiences accessible to all.
