Tuesday Meditations for Caregivers
2024-12-03 08:00 - 08:30, 2024-12-10 08:00 - 08:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | MI
We welcome all to join us in our weekly Tuesday morning meditation to begin each Tuesday with presence, intention, and reflection. Morning meditation can be a moment of respite before the rush of the day. One of our four experienced facilitators will be guiding you each week so no prior meditation is necessary.
Each Tuesday morning session will offer two back to back 15-minute meditations for a total of 30 minutes so those who are beginners or have less time can join for the first 15 minutes beginning at 8:00 am Pacific Time. Those who have more time or can sit longer may choose to stay for the second 15 minutes of meditation. See the event website link to register. You only need to register once and the link that is sent to you is good for the entire year.

“This Is Our Lives” LGBT Home Movies Through the Years
A long time ago, there were no pride parades or hashtags. People showed their love in quiet ways—through whispers, small looks, or maybe a secret letter. Even when it was hard, they still found ways to love, like lighting a small candle in the dark.
Join us for a special evening as we welcome Aaron from the LGBT National Help Center to talk with us about LGBTQ+ history, support, and the power of being yourself.
We’ll also be watching a 2015 documentary that shares the real stories of LGBTQ people from the past. It includes home videos that have never been seen before—some from back in the 1930s . These clips show how people lived and loved, even when they had to hide who they were, a reminder that the LGBTQ+ community has always been here.
