COMMUNITY EVENTS

Our events are more than gatherings — they are opportunities to come together, heal, and remember that we are not alone.

In a world that often feels overwhelming and disconnected, we offer a sacred space where hearts unite, spirits are lifted, and true transformation is possible.

Here, community isn’t just a word—it’s the foundation for deep connection, support, and collective healing.

Join us, and experience the power of belonging as we walk this path together.

GRIEF LITERACY: THE LANGUAGE & LISTENING OF LOSS

A healing workshop for the LGBTQ+ Community

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 6 pm - 7:30 pm

This won't be a lecture. It will be a welcoming, conversation-based gathering where we'll explore practical ways to become more confident in supporting others through life's inevitable losses and shifts.

Together we'll explore how to:

• Recognize both universal and unique grief experiences

• Support various reactions and responses to loss

• Catch stories with increased sensitivity and skill

• Use language to connect and validate

We'll be using Kindred Grief Care as our guide. Everyone will receive a digital copy of the book along with take-home resources to continue learning after the workshop.

$25/person

UPCYCLE YOUR CLOTHING: Transform existing garments with plant dyes.

July 30th, from 5-7 pm: BY DONATION.

Limited to 7 participants.

A very special offering with Carolyn Sommer! This is a by donation event for our community!

In this donation based workshop, participants will give new life to old clothing items with natural dyes. Participants will provide one piece of natural fiber clothing that they wish to dye. We will coordinate (via email or text) a clothing drop off for the week of July 13th so I can pre-treat all items, which I will then bring to the workshop on July 30th. I will provide all the necessary materials besides the actual clothing items!

AWAKENING THE HEART: Float in a blissful immersion of musical chanting.

August 1, 2026 7-8:30 pm $30/person
We are so excited to be hosting traveling monk, Brian Lottman at The Sanctuary For Healing + Liberation.
Fourteen years ago, Brian, a wandering monk, renounced his former life and set out on the road to share the mystical path to Self-Realization. He has held hundreds of gatherings at spiritual centers, churches, and yoga studios all over the country. He is an inspirational speaker and a meditation teacher.
 
Satsang means “association with higher Truth.” In these sacred gatherings, Brian speaks about the nature of Truth and Love, and he recounts his amazing adventures as a monk and renunciant. He tells ancient tales about the mystical lives of saints. He holds a transformative space to bring the mind into deeper states of meditation. He plays harmonium and leads kirtan.
