Youth Raja Yoga Meditation Course on Zoom (Ages 13-18)
Throughout history, when the world has been called to change, youths have always stepped up to inspire and influence shifts. Equipped with natural open-mindedness, optimism, and realism, youths are the perfect catalysts for world transformation. Raja Yoga Meditation is a powerful resource and skill to enable them to prepare for this role.
Raja Yoga is an ancient form of meditation that empowers you to harness your potential by knowing your true self. It teaches you how to adapt to an ever-changing world while remaining authentic to your core positive beliefs. It builds immeasurable strength from within, allowing one to be unshakeable in the face of adverse situations. It brings clarity through sharpening one's power to discern.
While the world is in times of stress, we have power over our present experience and certainly what the future holds. Raja Yoga will show the path to inner peace & stability. Join us on Saturdays and Sundays at 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM starting on Saturday, April 4th – April 26th (8 Sessions).
Learn, grow, and have fun along the way!

Book Bedazzling (BYOB) - Bloodguard by Cecy Robson
Let's bedazzle some books while we discuss our April pick: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson!
Book description:
One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise…
Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie.
Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose.
He was wrong—and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity.
All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day.
Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard—and his freedom.
But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap.
Nor will his ultimate revenge…
Event:
Please bring your own book, journal, bookmarks, etc to bedazzle. If you have bedazzling supplies, please bring them as well. I will supply gems, glue, and picker tools, but if you have certain colors in mind, you may want to bring your own.
Humanist Program
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
