Divine Journey Yoga
Mondays & Wednesdays
at 9:00am
in the Community Center
Divine Journey Yoga is a space to breathe, stretch, and reconnect—with your body, your spirit, and the present moment.
Blending Hatha and Yin yoga styles, this gentle practice is open to all ages and abilities. Whether you’re brand new to yoga or adapting around physical limitations, you’ll find a compassionate, inclusive environment led by Trish, who offers thoughtful options to meet you exactly where you are.
Come as you are. Move at your own pace. This journey begins with one breath, and welcomes everyone.
Soul Connection
Mondays
at 4:00pm
on Zoom
It’s not therapy—it’s real talk.
Once a week, we gather for honest conversation, gentle listening, and a place to let your guard down. Whether you’re inspired or just had a really bad day, you’re welcome here.
This casual, thought-provoking group is built on simple, sacred ground rules: listen without trying to fix, speak without fear of judgment, and hold every story in confidence. Sometimes it’s deep. Sometimes it’s funny. Always, it’s real.
Come as you are. We’ll meet you there.

Laughter Yoga
Tuesdays
at 5:00pm
in Room 50
Laughter Yoga is a simple, joyful practice that brings people together to breathe deeply, move gently, and most importantly , laugh freely. No jokes, no special poses, just the healing power of shared laughter and mindful breathing to lift your spirits and refresh your mind. Whether you come to release stress, connect with others, or simply enjoy a playful pause in your week, Laughter Yoga offers a lighthearted space where everyone is welcome. Come as you are and leave lighter than you came. All ages and abilities welcome.
Centering Prayer
Wednesdays
at 4:30pm
in the St.Clare Room
Centering Prayer is a return to stillness - a sacred pause in the rush of life.
In a world that often pulls us in a hundred directions, this gathering offers a chance to slow down. There's no need to speak, no need to perform; just an open space to be. We begin together, ease into silence, and gently return with time for optional reflection.
This is a place for those seeking calm, clarity, or simply a pause in their week. Whether you've never tried silent prayer or you've been practicing for years, you’re welcome here.
There’s no pressure to share, no requirements to meet, just a circle of intention and rest.
Crafting Calm
Fridays
at 11:00am
in Room 42
Crafting Calm is a creative sanctuary in the middle of a noisy world.
Here, slowing down isn’t just allowed, it’s the whole point. Whether you’re stitching a prayer shawl, sketching in a visual journal, or building a small altar from gathered things, each project becomes a doorway to presence, peace, and quiet joy.
You don’t need any experience, just curiosity and a willingness to explore. You’re free to follow guided ideas or bring your own inspiration. There’s no wrong way to create here.
Led by Shar Aslaksen, this group is about more than making art, it’s about making space: for reflection, for connection, for calm. Come breathe. Come create. Come as you are.
Manifesting Good
2nd and 4th Saturdays of the Month
at 12:30pm

Each session invites us to explore what it means to live consciously—guided by spiritual insight, shared wisdom, and the desire to bring more good into our lives and the world around us. Whether you’re nurturing new practices or deepening long-held beliefs, this group offers grounding conversation and meaningful connection.
The first gathering of every month meets on Zoom to welcome those joining from afar or from the comfort of home. To receive the link, please contact Shar Aslaksen.
Come with openness. Come with curiosity. Come as you are. The good begins with you.
