Grand reopening
Plan to join us come-and-go for our Grand Reopening Celebration, Feb. 1, 9-11 a.m.
Mingle and meet people who volunteer at Middleway, nibble on treats, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and experience each of the areas at the monastery, including the labyrinth under beautiful oak trees. It's come and go, but at 9:30 a.m., we'll officially celebrate our new space with a brief look at our history and a sense of where we're heading.
FRIDAY MEDITATION AND MINDFULNESS
Center yourself and find peace in the midst of your busy life. Friday Meditation and Mindfulness, led by Becky Burks, meets twice monthly at 12:30 p.m. The next times: Friday, Feb. 7 and Feb. 21.
Spirituality of Breadmaking: Sourdough
We'll making sourdough from a starter created at the monastery, Saturday March 29, 9 a.m.-Noon. Sourdough starter is created by allowing flour and water to ferment in a specific environment which draws from naturally occurring yeast in the air. Thus, the Middleway sourdough will derive from the peace, comfort and hope which encircles every part of the monastery. For the retreat component, participants will consider how certain parts of our lives can soured but still be turned to good.
IN THE NEWS
THE BATTALION
The monastery presents itself spiritually as humbly as it does physically. Taking its name from the ancient phrase "via media," it is a picture of moderation between the "high" and "low" churches of the area
THE EAGLE
“My experience of church is churches are built for extroverts. It’s harder to find those quiet moments in a church’s life. … A place dedicated toward spirituality, meditation, contemplation, I think is necessary.”
KBTX
On Friday evening, the Middleway Urban Monastery offered people the opportunity to walk for peace, as a form of experiential prayer, for the situation in Ukraine and other parts of the world in chaos.
