Join interfaith minister, earth lover, and longtime spiritual practitioner Katy Taylor to explore how we can participate in the healing of earth in the ways that we live our daily lives.

This service will also include Katy singing, joined by Heidi Mattern.

To watch the pre-recorded service in real time, you can gather with others in the QUUF sanctuary (vaccination and mask required) or go to the QUUF homepage and click on “VIDEO” in the upper right-hand corner. You can watch the service anytime after it has premiered on the QUUF YouTube Channel.

Come sing together via Zoom on 1st and 3rd Thursdays!

We will chant together to create the world we want to live in through our song. We will sing chants from many sources—Thich Nhat Hanh, 12th c. Hildegard von Bingen, Scots Gaelic, local singer/composers Laurence Cole and Gretchen Sleicher, and many more from the community singing tradition.

Singing is known to help connect us to ourselves and to each other, as well as to calm the nervous system. We all need more of that in our lives.

I teach each chant line by line so you can follow along, and then we sing all together. Because of the nature of Zoom (delays due to intermittent connection), you’ll only be able to hear and sing with my voice, but you’ll be able to see others and have the visual experience of singing and being together. You don’t need to be a “singer”—just come and add your voice and heart full of good intentions!

To join, contact me for the Zoom link no later than 6:00 on the day of the chanting if possible. Once we’ve started I won’t be able to respond to emails.

Join me and Elisabeth Haight for a 45-minute, contemplative Christian music prayer service that draws on the Celtic Christian and Taize traditions.

Starting in November, we will meet at the Cotton Building in Port Townsend. (In the warm months, we meet outside at Chetzemoka Park in the shelter of the lovely trees and sacred land. )

Please contact Elisabeth or Katy for more information (and for the zoom link when not in person).

When in person, we follow the guidance of Washington State in terms of masking.

Join us in the courtyard for a contemplative, earth-based, family-friendly ritual to mark the turning of the year as the darkness gives way to the growing light.

This participatory ritual will include chanting, releases and intentions, candle-lighting, singing, and a fire.

Bring your own camp chair and dress for the weather. We will meet even in the rain! (No bad weather, just bad gear.)
