Saturday 3-Hour Meditation Service 9 am to 12 pm Noon
This service will begin with a prayer, inspirational reading and a chant. Periods of meditation will be broken on the hour with chanting. We will be practicing the SRF Healing Technique at the end of the service.
We have initiated a security measure of locking the front door at 10 minutes after the top of the hour. So each hour the front door will be unlocked for 10 minutes beginning at the top of the hour.
There will be a sign on the front door announcing this.
Please enter and exit, and use the rest rooms on the hour during chants so as not to disturb others.
