An immersion for going inward

Communion ceremonies are the core ritual of our congregation–an opportunity to journey inward with the sacraments in the power of an emergent joint spiritual field. If you’ve ever meditated in a group, you know that it’s more profound, deeper, and just plain easier to find stillness, connection, and insight. Communion sacramental ceremonies enjoy the same communal energy––a powerful way to dive into yourself, into Spirit, and to take another dive into the path of awakening.

All communion ceremony registrations include:

✨ A group preparation session,

✨ an individual intention-setting session with one of the ministers leading the ceremony,

✨ the ceremony itself,

✨ a re-immersion group integration session,

✨ a self -organized ongoing integration program with other ceremony participants, and

✨ a one-on-one option for individualized integration with a minister.

WHERE: Details will follow for members who register. We are limited to 12 participants for each communion ceremony, so registration will be on a first-come/first-served basis. We will keep a waiting list if we have more than 12 for a specific ceremony. We typically gather in the late afternoon and wrap up early in the afternoon the next day.

PREPARATION: We will have a Zoom call for the entire group beforehand to introduce ourselves to each other and review the ins and outs of what to expect. This session will be recorded for those who cannot attend. This session is about 10 days before the ceremony. As part of preparation, each participant will also have a one-on-one intention setting session in the week before the ceremony.

INTEGRATION: Integration is an ongoing process of manifesting what is learned during ceremony into the world. Integrating learnings and making change can be challenging and is best supported in community. Just after the ceremony, the group gathers for the first integration session. A second integration session is offered online for the entire group a few days after the ceremony. Participants are then placed into small groups to continue the work of integration with online support. Finally, if desired, one on one integration with a minister can be engaged.
