Wednesday Nights

"In India, when we meet and greet and we say "Namaste", which means: I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides, I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace. I honor the place within you where if you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us."

What is Wednesday Nights all about?

A gathering of individuals who aspire to “come alive” by sharing their silence with each other for an hour every Wednesday at 7 pm! There is no fee to attend, just a request for you to spread the ripples of peace experienced with all.

Why Silence?
Our daily routine is so full of activity and mental as well as external noise that we spare little time and attention to listening to the voice within. An hour of silence offers the opportunity to discover our self, our own truth and our own solutions to the challenges in our life.

Silence enables us to anchor in the perfection of the present moment - the Now.


What to "do"?
You are encouraged to just BE. This is one of the most effective ways of allowing your own clarity to emerge.

Consider a shaken-up, muddy glass of water: it's hard to look through it, but if you let it sit still for a while, the mud goes to the bottom and the water remains clear on the top. Similarly, in silence we still our minds to experience, with increasing clarity, that which is real for us right now.

However, you are welcome to read, journal, chant silently, or do anything else that helps you achieve inner peace, without disturbing other participants.


Why in a group?
A group encourages resilience and commitment to practice, which is helpful in instilling discipline in our own self. Additionally, after the hour of silence, you will have the choice of interacting with diverse, interesting people who are consciously working on growth and self-development.

Who can attend:
A quote by a famous Sufi poet, Rumi, best describes our inspired gathering

Come, come, whoever you are!
Wanderer, wonderer, worshipper…
It does not matter!
Ours is not a caravan of despair
Come, come,
Even if you have broken your vow a hundred times,
Ours is a portal of hope, so come as you are


Silence has only to be experienced to be truly understood…
Come, join us this Wednesday to get a taste of silence...

This gathering is a tradition established by the folks at Charity Focus and continues to be a source of deep inspiration in our work.
