Monday Music Meditation
Several Mondays this fall will offer a simple music-led meditation at 12:30 p.m. Each event is come-and-go. The concept is to "enter a sacred space as a time of silence, stillness, and mediation to allow the rhythm of peaceful music wash over you." It is guided by resident spiritual director Kelli Davis. No preparation is needed. Dates for Music Meditations are: Nov. 2 and 16, and Dec. 7 and 21.
Artist's Way Sacred Circle
Everyone is creative, but various factors and experiences can snuff out a person's confidence. Creativity enriches life and soul.
Those who want to recover their creativity can join this Sacred Circle, based on the book "Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. The group meets monthly on the first Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Next meeting: Nov. 5. Participants share creative pursuits and encourage one another.
Men's Spirituality Group
A men's conversation on spirituality, led by resident spiritual director Mike Halvorson, hosts weekly gatherings on Thursdays from 6:30-7:30 p.m. through continue through Nov. 19. Next time: Nov. 5.
Halvorson said the topics will pull from scriptural stories - "all kinds of men - kings, warriors, leaders, followers, young and old - in situations that both illuminate and shape their faith ... and how their respon5ses might light the way " for modern men and their relationship to God and each other.
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. NEXT: Nov. 6
Spirituality of Breadmaking: Colonial Poppyseed Loaf
The third Spirituality of Breadmaking retreat for 2026 will be Nov. 7, 9-11 a.m. This retreat will feature Colonial Poppyseed Loaf as a nod to our nation's 250th anniversary. The retreat component will delve into the concept of one's spiritual heritage. Participants are led in making the recipe and in a time for personal rest. Each will go home with a ready-to-bake loaf. Register by Nov. 4 here
"Poetry as Spiritual Practice"
Two sessions will be offered, one in the fall and one in the spring. Hosted by resident spiritual director Kathy Reiter and led by spiritual director Leigh Kent, the fall session is Nov. 14, 9-11 a.m.
Drawing inspiration from poets such as Mary Oliver, the workshop will explore how careful obseration, reflection, and creative expression can deepen one's spiritual awareness. Through selected poems, gentle writing exercises, and shared conversation, participants will be encouraged to discover their own poetic voices in a welcoming, judgment-free environment. No previous experience with poetry is necessary—just a willingness to be curious, creative, and attentive to the world around you! Reserve your place!
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.
