Seasonal Celebrations
Eye of the Heart celebrates each season with intentional events to help us move through life in the ways each season shows us how to.
Celebration on the Altar of the World
A Sunrise Contemplative Liturgy
Celebrate Earth Day with a sunrise contemplative liturgy that honors the Divine presence in all of creation. Through readings, gesture, music and silence we will hold together the joy and suffering in the world. This is a contemporary re-rendering by Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew of Teilhard de Chardin’s personal “Mass on the World.” Led by Rhonda Miska.

Move into the gifts of Winter.
Winter Rest:
A weekly invitation to fertile darkness.
Winter is a powerful time for resting, spiritual growth, and listening to the fertile dark. It’s a time for slowing down. The only trouble is that it can be such a busy time.
Winter Rest offers you the support of community to create space for darkness and winter rest. On select Thursday nights we will gather on Zoom for about 10 minutes to ritually unplug and prepare ourselves to enter into the dark together. The rest of the hour - or the evening if you like - is for you to rest.
Online Advent Retreat
Entering the Mystical Metaphors of the Christmas Story
Whether you identify as Christian or no longer align with your Christian lineage, you might be surprised at the universal wisdom the sacred stories of Christmas reveal about the path of the mystic. Each morning of the retreat, we’ll immerse ourselves in the rich metaphors through visual art, music, storytelling, guided visualization and reflective writing. Take a break from the busyness and baggage of the holiday season and center yourself in the wisdom of your own experience.
Saturday mornings, from 10-11:15 AM CST

Live music, reflection, and the collective joy of circle dances
Winter Solstice Celebration: Gratitude & Peace
Let’s gather for an evening of beauty, connection, and reflection to welcome the return of light. Gorgeous music and meditative circle dances have a calming power that can break through the hectic or heavy energy of this season. This embodied, participatory celebration awakens connection to a profound sense of wholeness that embraces all the complexities of life. Together we will tap into a current of joyful life energy.
