every SATURDAY at 2pm
OPEN MEDITATION & SPIRITUAL DISCUSSION
A relaxed weekly gathering for spiritual evolution, devotion, and shared spiritual presence with like-minded people. Each session opens with a discussion on a sacred or spiritual theme, offering time to share reflections, insights, and personal experiences. We then move into a guided meditation designed to cultivate inner stillness, enhance self-awareness, and deepen your connection with the Divine. To conclude, time is held for shared silence, gratitude, gentle reflection, and the opportunity to offer prayers or request angelic intercession within the sacred space of the chapel.
All are welcome to attend, regardless of background or belief. No prior meditation experience is required.

As you weave, you’ll not only learn the Turkey Wing technique, but also connect with the rich symbolism and tradition of the besom — a timeless emblem of protection, cleansing, and sacred space. We will also explore the traditional symbolism of various charms, herbs, and other natural ingredients that will be used in your creation.
