Children and Youth Meditation Workshop
October 4, 1:30–4 p.m.
Children and youth of all faith backgrounds in grades 3–12 are invited to learn the basics of meditation and quiet reflection, and then spend time in the House of Prayer practicing these skills. Attendees are welcome to bring an adult family member.

Practicing Sacred Silence
Every Tuesday, 7:30–8 a.m.
The 30-minute session via Zoom includes a simple lesson from the guest host, followed by 20 minutes of shared silence and a closing. This is perfect if you cannot take time out of a demanding workday and a busy family evening to visit the House of Prayer in person.
