Daily Prayer Walk at Sachuest Point, 2 PM with Rev Shelley Dungan

We will practice "social distancing" as we receive the healing benefits of nature as long as it is permitted to gather.  Please note: the bathrooms ave been closed at the Visitor's Center and sometimes the parking lot gets full.  If you can arrive a little early, it is a good idea as you may need to park in the Second Beach parking lot and walk up Sachuest Road to the flagpole.

If you feel well and so inclined, please consider joining me at 2 PM for my daily prayer walk. We meet at the flagpole in front of the Visitor's Center at Sachuest Point Wildlife Refuge. We spend an hour or so together breathing, getting centered, reflecting, praying, walking the trail, talking with each other and soaking in Mother Nature's healing energy. Any questions about cancellations, or to indicate your interest in going, please use our FB page. Questions? yogishelley@sacred-center.org

The suggested donation is $10, to help support RI Food Bank.

About Kirtan:Kirtan is a practice of Bhakti Yoga (the Yoga of Devotion). It is a participatory, call and response form of singing which is expanding throughout North America as westerners discover it’s uplifting, healing and joyous effects. Open to participants of all religions or no religion at all, Kirtan is easy to learn and participate in. The lead singer sings simple and beautiful melodies and the crowd responds either by memory or by using lyric sheets provided. Kirtan is a beautiful opportunity for people to come together to open their hearts and chant the many names of the Divine. In Kirtan, the lines between musician and audience are blurred. The audience members play a vital role in the music through their singing, clapping, dancing and the transformative devotional energy that they each bring to the experience. Brenda explains, “Singing together– chanting the Divine names – encourages our hearts to open and the beauty of our true beings to shine!”
