“Your Life as Sacred Ground: Discover Meaning and Purpose in Daily Life”

An in-person conversation and Zoom

Registration fee: $25

In her new book Ordinary Mysticism (September 2024), internationally acclaimed author, teacher, and professor of world religions, Mirabai Starr makes clear how we can all experience the sacred in everyday events: weeding our gardens, an evening walk with a friend, our kitchen table surrounded by family, indeed even in our shortcomings, including the mess that we create of our lives. Mirabai will share experiences of her own life journey, as well as insights from spiritual teachers across the centuries, offering ancient and contemporary practices that will help us wake up to the daily miraculous.

Terry Eldh, Saturday, January 11, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM. 

“Recharge After the Holidays Using Sound to Heal Your Body, Mind, and Spirit”

An in-person workshop

Registration fee: $45

Trinity Spiritual Center invites you to relax and recharge after the holidays through the extraordinary experience of sound healing. Using crystal singing bowls, Terry Eldh will offer an hour-long sound meditation designed to reduce stress and anxiety and to enhance overall well-being. Terry has studied bioenergetics and the power of sound to heal for over fifteen years.  Scientists at the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, and the National Institutes of Health have long recognized the health benefits of sound. It is well known that the frequencies of singing bowls can slow our brain waves into Alpha and Theta states: the state of deep meditation.  Bring your yoga mat, pillow, and blanket as we relax together to the healing sound of the singing bowls.

Dr. James Doty, Sunday, February 2, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM.

An in-person conversation and Zoom

Registration fee: $25

A Stanford University School of Medicine professor, neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, compassion researcher (funded by the Dalai Lama), and bestselling author (Into the Magic Shop), Dr. Doty has been studying the mind-heart-body connection for decades. He will share the unusual twists and turns of his unusual life journey. He will also reveal the findings of neuroscience that confirm extraordinary things can happen when we harness the power of both the brain and heart. His latest book, Mind Magic (May 2024), documents the science behind how we manifest that which we hope for in our lives.
