  • Centering Prayer Meditation

    Recurring
    Robing Room (behind pulpit)

    Change of day as of April 6, 2026: meeting weekly on Mondays, Robing Room, 10-11am. Centering Prayer is a form of Christian Contemplative Meditation. The purpose of this meditation is not to clear the mind as much as it is to open oneself to the presence of the Divine and invite the action of the Divine within. No previous experience or training is required. This form of Contemplative prayer is a practice in resting in the presence of God through non-thinking surrender and to form a deeper relationship with the Divine. Centering Prayer will be led by Cynthia Tolbert. All are welcome. Please contact Rev. Jane Tuohy at jane.tuohy@frsuu.org or 617-359-0079 if you have questions.

  • Mystic Circles

    Featured Recurring
    LMH Main Room 26 Pleasant St, Newburyport, MA, United States

    2nd and 4th Tuesdays, April 14 and 28, May 12 and 26, June 9 and 23, LMH Main Room, 6:30-8pm. Mystic Circles is a gathering of individuals who have interest in sharing and affirming their own experiences of the Divine, the holy, and the Sacred, and worshiping together. We are very diverse from the perspective of religious/spiritual backgrounds and orientations. We share a commitment to staying open to mystery. Mysticism is about an attitude of receptivity. Throughout the ages, mystics have sought union with the Divine—with God (however you define God)—through a variety of spiritual practices.  Mysticism is not about a set of beliefs or dogma; rather it is about the felt experience of longing for union with the Holy and of belonging to something larger than yourself. Sometimes mystical moments can be about ordinary experiences of awe and wonder. In Mystic Circles we bear witness to one another’s experiences, share our questions, and create embodied worship practices. No previous experience with mysticism is required. We practice non-judgmental listening and freedom of expression as we each listen to each other and our own deepest selves. For more information, please email Rev. Jane Tuohy at Jane.tuohy@frsuu.org.

  • Intro to Prison Yoga Project

    Featured
    Parish Hall 1st Floor

    Thursday, May 28, Parish Hall, 7-8:30pm. What if prison helped heal people? James Fox, the founder of the Prison Yoga Project, and European Program Director Josefin Wikstrom, will visit FRSUU to share their holistic approach to transformation in prisons worldwide. Their nonprofit has pioneered evidence-based trauma-informed yoga and embodied mindfulness practices to equip incarcerated people with tools for self-regulation, self-discovery, and personal growth. FRSUU member Lindsey Athanasiou sits on Prison Yoga Project's board and will proudly open the presentation. The Prison Yoga Project's slogan is "Healing over punishment," and their team facilitates programs in correctional facilities across 20 states and in 12 countries, positively impacting the lives of thousands of incarcerated men, women, and youth. James Fox, M.A., CYT, has practiced yoga and insight meditation for more than 30 years. He began his mission of sharing the benefits of those practices to relieve symptoms of unresolved trauma with incarcerated people when he became a teacher in 2000. Josefin Wikstrom, C-IAYT, E-RYT 500, TCTSY-F, has worked as a yoga teacher with trauma-exposed people, including the incarcerated and refugees, since 2003. She lives in Sweden, where she teaches yoga and movement at high-security men’s and women’s prisons. (Internal: set up includes chairs in rows, display table, projector, and microphone.)
