Week 1
Un-Trivializing God:
Reality as Thou

We can re-imagine our relationship to the divine and to our environment by seeing God as primary reality, not a separate being, not magical but imbued in all of Nature.

St Francis is currently seeking hosts and leaders to spearhead a pilot program, Base Communities for this summer.
Base communities serve as intimate gatherings aimed at nurturing our connections with each other, our community and the environment.
Leader training sessions will be scheduled for April (date to be determined). Groups will begin in May and continue through July. Our goal is to officially launch Base Communities in October.

Soul Connection
How is it with your soul?
Share with us!
Casual, thought provoking and mostly fun. Once a week, a group gets together to tell it like it really is... sharing our thoughts and inspirations or, yes it happens, if we've had a really bad day.
The rules are simple: Listen, not to problem solve or do therapy, Really hear each other, All sharing is confidential. We'd love for you to join us!

Fun & Games
Play has been proven to be very beneficial to our minds and overall health. It can release endorphins, improve brain functionality and stimulate creativity.
It can even help to keep us feeling younger and energetic. Studies show that play improves memory and stimulates the growth of the cerebral cortex!
AND IT'S FUN!!
Join us every Wednesday to release those endorphins by playing board games, carrying on good conversation, all while enjoying goodies.
