  • 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.

  • Centering Prayer Meditation

    Recurring
    Robing Room (behind pulpit)

    Weekly on Wednesdays, 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.

    Parish Hall 1st Floor

    Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2, Parish Hall 1st Floor, 9am-4pm. Are you aware of what triggers tension for you? Do you know how tension impacts your health and well-being? Are you aware of how your triggered reactions are experienced in your body, moods, thoughts, and behaviors? Most importantly, do you know how to transform a reactively tense state into one of reflective response and improved self-agency? Wellness Works from the Inside Out is an evidence-based program that provides specific approaches to reduce harmful levels of stress hormones and methods that stimulate restorative hormones. This course was developed four decades ago by Matthew Budd, MD, and Roberta Colasanti, MSW, LICSW, at the formerly known Harvard Community Health Plan, a Harvard Medical School Affiliate. To register, email roberta@colasantiassociates.com. No fee attend this course.
