Soul Gardening: Sacrament of the Present Moment

Rev. Terry Hershey

People who love the world, who pay attention, are gardeners, whether or not they have ever picked up a trowel ~ because gardening is not just about digging. Gardening is about cherishing ~ and to cherish, one must be present … Here! Now! We see that the ordinary is the hiding place for the holy and … open our heart to the rhythms of "the garden"; embrace the demanding marriage of loving and losing; cultivate appreciation for ordinary gifts of grace, the value of solitude, and the healing power of nature; nurture our soul, and renew our sense of life’s fullness. Gardens are sacred places that can offer healing for mind, body, and soul. Experience our gardens as restorative, inspiring, & life-giving. Participate in outdoor & indoor workshops, exploring “sanctuary” gardens, with personal time for walks, prayer, rocking chairs, and reflection.

Prayer of the Heart with Art

Rev. Paula Vukmanic

Limited space is available. Call for reservations to Jose Salas at 310.377.4867 or email him at
You have a heart, an essence that is you. Believing in and allowing your personal heart encounters with God to flow through you can lead you into a deeper and peace and loving awareness of the amazing self that you are. How do you get in touch with what is being revealed within you? “Prayer of the heart with art” will foster an inner listening, using introverted and extroverted forms of prayer. Our session will explore the revelations of mandala making, poetry, the simplicity of the haiku and word collages to express our feeling and thoughts. We will experience silence, seeing, hearing, creating, walking and breathing in the Presence of God’s inspiring Spirit.
