Join Lejla Becirovic for an immersive experience of sound, vibration, and reflection through the ancient art of singing bowls. Used for centuries in meditation and contemplative practices, singing bowls create resonant tones that invite relaxation, mindfulness, and a deeper connection with the present moment. Singing bowls are commonly used in meditation and sound-based wellness practices because of their rich, sustained vibrations. 

Through the gentle harmonics of crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, participants will be guided into a space of calm awareness, where sound becomes a pathway to inner stillness. Whether you are new to sound meditation or have an established practice, this experience offers an opportunity to pause, listen, and reconnect with yourself.

“The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it’s scientific truth, or historical truth, or personal truth” Jean-Luc Picard 

Whether you’re a diehard fan or someone familiar with the franchise, there’s no doubt that Gene Roddenberry, American television screenwriter and producer, singlehandedly changed science fiction and the world of television forever when Star Trek: The Original Series premiered in 1966. Between its storylines, worldbuilding, and characters, plenty of memorable quotes have been spoken over the years. Picard’s quote above is not just an excellent testament to the character but also to the franchise as a whole.

Sunday, we’ll look at how staying curious about the small things in life can keep us open, flexible, and growing. In a world overflowing with information—and pressure to have opinions on every big issue—curiosity can feel exhausting. But when we turn our attention to the little questions, the everyday wonders, we create space for joy and learning.

Presented by Aurora Boldt

Curiosity can lean us to new places and it can change how we see the people and communities around us.

Our service Sunday, we’ll reflect on how travel, language and everyday encounters with differences can shape our understanding of the world. From experiences abroad to differences within our own country. We’ll consider how curiosity when paired with attention and humility can deepen empathy and connection.

Service by Perri Gardner

Curiosity is an innate instinct that drives us to explore our world and ourselves. We tend to think of curiosity as a childlike attribute, and it is, but it’s not solely for children. Research shows that adults who experience curiosity and seek new information to fulfill that instinct are rewarded with better brain function, deeper learning experiences, more fulfilling personal relationships, and better mental health than adults who do not.

Sunday, Aurora Boldt will share her story of how she lost her Christian faith through an essay she wrote for her college communications class. This anti-testimony of sorts hopes to serve as a jumping-off point for discussion between members of our community and also to provide a safe space to share our mutual hurts, questions, and insights.

Please join us in a discussion regarding the validity of trusting your intuition-“that small still voice”-in decision making. The discussion will be centered on how it has or has not played out in our lives.

Presented by Melody Lenkner

Our service Sunday will explore 25 possible changes to the basic structures of American government – some practical, some provocative, and some that challage our deepest assumptions about how our system works. We will reflect on the structural features of government that shape our political life and consider how things could be different. This is not a call to agreement but an invitation to imagination.
