Monthly Series beginning on

Sunday, March 2nd, 2025 from 11am to 3pm ET

Online

In the spirit of Sunday Service, we call upon all the New Saints (and those curious about what that is) to come together and co-create a virtual space of reflection and practice. 

Each service offers a diverse abundance of practices including:

• opening ceremony to honor the land, our ancestors, and awakened beings
• community blessing
• protection ritual
• Practices for grounding, connecting with deities, and Mahamudra
• a Dharma talk/Sermon for New Saints

The intention is for these gatherings to be co-creative and community-centered. We will be inviting the collaboration of fellow practitioners and elders who are interested in sharing their practice and prayers. 

Sunday Service will be offered once a month and is free/by donation. Everyone is welcome!

Please note:

• The first Sunday Service is integrated with the Ma Tara Seasonal Offering on March 2nd, meaning they are one and the same session.
• This is offered LIVE only, meaning the recording will not be shared at this time. 

Registration

Suggested donation for this offering is $10-$25, however there is no minimum required to join. All donations are welcomed with gratitude; if donating is not accessible, you are still welcome to join us in practice.

Please Note: This is offered LIVE only, meaning the recording will not be shared at this time.
