During this continually challenging and isolating time of global pandemic, we are grateful for community gathering places both in-person and virtual. If you’re looking to find a way to connect (and reconnect!) with spiritual friends, we hope that one of the options below will be right for you. We are especially excited to welcome new folks to our community, so please take the risk of reaching out to us!
