Marin Interfaith Council
Monthly Interfaith Meditation
Wednesday, January 11, 2016
5:30-6:30 pm
First Presbyterian Church Chapel
1510 Fifth Avenue, San Rafael
Donation to MIC at the door.
Every Second Wednesday of the month, a leader from a different spiritual community will offer a meditation or spiritual practice and explain how it flows from the basic tenets of his/her faith tradition. Each gathering will include time for questions and insights that emerge from our shared time of intentional spiritual practice.
This evening will be led by Rabbi Elana Rosen-Brown of Congregation Rodef Sholom.
Together, we will create a contemplative space in which we can be held during this uncertain time.
