Public Spirit of Peace Meditation Update: Occasional Gatherings

Holding the public practice of the Spirit of Peace Meditation is shifting away from monthly.  It is clear that monthly is unsustainable for current leaders to commit to.  It's uncertain if it might become a quarterly practice at the solstices and equinoxes, or another frequency.  

If you have interest and delight in supporting this public practice of dedicating one's spirit to peace and seeing the holy love and light in each person, please reach out and let us know.  Use the contact form in the menu or send an email to listening@pointsoflightmusic.net.
