November 8, 2026: The Sacredness of Attention

Reverence starts with attention. We’ll explore how paying attention can be a practice of love and a way to recognize the sacred in ordinary life.

November 15, 2026: Reverence for All Life

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Mindful of both Veteran’s Day and Transgender Day of Remembrance, we will reflect on how much it matters that we learn to honor life and the terrible costs of allowing the degradation of people’s lives to continue.

  • Exploring Daoist Philosophy: Ziran and Reverence for the Natural - Room 208

    Wednesday, November 4, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
    A five-part course on Daoist philosophy for nature-lovers, tree-huggers, and authority-questioners. This ancient, egalitarian Chinese tradition has inspired hermits, anarchists, sci-fi writers, rebellions, and environmentalists for millennia. After covering the basics, we'll dive deep into ziran ("natural spontaneity"), a deep idea that the purest things act freely, of themselves, without outside imposition. Expect poetry, ancient but approachable texts, laid-back presentations, and open discussion facilitated by Zach Ammerman. All faith backgrounds (and none) welcome to explore this non-theistic philosophy. Appropriate both for newcomers and for those who took the previous Daoism course last spring. Facilitated by Zach Ammerman. Meets Wednesdays, 7-9pm, starting on October 7 - November 4 (5 sessions). Register here
