The Center's Tuesday evening programs, held at 7 North Mast Street, cover all aspects of body, mind, and spirit. See Calendar at right. There are four general core program themes offered each month:
- Spirituality
- At least two programs each month, usually the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, are primarily of a spiritual nature. Examples include Praying with Icons and Centering Prayer. Many relate to the church calendar such as the Epiphany Walk of Light.
- Book Group
- Meets once a month usually on the 3rd Tuesday. It provides an opportunity for participants to connect with others. Topics alternate between shorter articles and books. Participants have an opportunity to discuss the reading, relax and refuel with good conversation and enjoy some tasty refreshments. Articles and books of interest to young families are frequently discussed.
- Faithfully Fit
- Usually held on the 1st Tuesday of each month, these sessions provide opportunity for participants for physical activities that might be new to them. These programs offer group exercise instruction in Eastern forms of movement and spirituality such as Yoga and Tai Chi as well as more traditional fitness: stretching, strength and aerobics. Participants are motivated to incorporate physical activity in their daily life so they are able to continue their spiritual practice and work.
- Health and Environment
- The Center provides programs led by instructors with education, expertise and experience in topics that meet the needs and wants of a wide range of program participants. Examples include faith and technology, stress management, addictions, and healthy eating.
Special Events: In addition, throughout the year, we host special events such as retreats and quiet days. (Let us know if you'd like to be notified about these.) During the summer recess 5/26 - 9/15, occasional programs are offered as participation indicates. These may include a walking group, stargazing, and more.
The Center is open to ideas for programmatic offerings that remain true to its mission: To provide opportunities for all who seek to go deeper in their spiritual journey and to be more open to the power of the Spirit. Use our contact form to make suggestions for topics, speakers and special events.

Comments from our participants from past programs:
"I thought the meditation meal was very gratifying in the sense that for the first time in ages I really took time to appreciate the privilege of having such an abundance of good food and to enjoy each mouthful. I also realized that I don't need to eat as much as I often do to satisfy my hunger."
"Special." "This was great - let's have more!" (Drumming)
"I need more of this." (Core conditioning - Pilates)
"Enjoyed the Tai Chi."
"Very informative - great session (Addictions)! Thanks!"
