We invite you to join us to meditate together in spirit at 5:00 p.m. on Mondays. If you are not able to join us at that time, please join us whenever you are able. Namaste.
The Northbrae Meditation group meets every Monday at 5:00 pm. We meet for one hour in the Parlor in the winter or in the Sacred Hoop Garden in warm weather. The Meditation Team (Jay Miyazaki, Judi Cochran and Carol Anne Fusco) rotates leadership and content. The readings and chants are chosen from the diversity of spiritual paths and religions and teachers that light our way. Each meditation starts with a breath awareness exercise or guided visualization for approximately seven minutes followed by the chosen reading that leads into a 20–25-minute meditation to soft music. Participants are welcome to do walking meditation during this period. We end our time together with a chant, song or vocalization led by Carol Anne Fusco. On Sunday evening Jay Miyazaki sends out an email with the content. If you would like to be added to the email list drop Jay a line: jmPE0314@gmail.com

Special Guest Preacher: Martin Wagner
Sunday, June 1st, 2025
10:30am Worship in the Chapel
12pm Workshop in the Parlor
Holy Rage, Sacred Grief, Fearless Joy –
Practices for Moving from Survival
to Engagement in Dark Times
The times are dark. We know there is work for us to do, but confronting the pain of the world can take a moral and emotional toll that undermines our well-being and limits our effectiveness. Avoiding our grief and anger out of fear that they will be too painful or will paralyze us requires emotional numbing that saps our joy and can lead to cynicism, despair, burnout, or worse. Join climate justice Lawyer and interfaith chaplain Martin Wagner to experience some simple practices for holding hard emotions and rediscoveringjoy in hard times.
Martin Wagner developed his understanding of the moral, emotional, and spiritual toll of activism during several decades working as a human rights and climate lawyer, including 28 years as creator and managing attorney of Earthjustice’s International Program. He is currently an interfaith chaplain serving activists and movements for environmental and human justice. Among other influences, Martin’s work draws on his longtime study and friendship with scholar, author, and activist Joanna Macy, Ph.D., whose Work that Reconnects is a powerful resource for transforming anger, despair, and overwhelm into inspired collaborative action.

This immersive sound bath is more than just a chance to relax – it is a ritual for nervous system nourishment and soul restoration. Led by Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Erica Skone-Rees and musicians Bryce Mulholland and Shannon Hopkins, each session begins with a gentle grounding meditation and flows into a sonic journey designed to move your brain into the restorative theta state. Let the healing tones of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, guzheng (Chinese harp) steel hand pans, acoustic guitar, Koshi bells, and ancient drums surround and soothe you. The vibrations help lower stress hormones, calm the mind, and invite deep inner peace.
