      The Healing Arts Center was a ministry within St. Paul's, where I offered weekly meditation, ocassional Enneagram classes and collaborated with others who offered yoga classes, Dances of Universal Peace, and presentation by Christian and Buddhist teachers. Halftime rector of St. Paul's, as part of the Diocesan Lake District. We developed vibrant liturgies inviting the assembly to rest in the Holy Mystery as Boundless Love. Liturgy and meditation were offered as the deep living well sustaining outreach into the wider community and guiding the rhythm of daily living.
