July 26 – Holding On and Letting Go: Reflections on Navigating the Human Condition – Rev. Suze Shaner-Brodax
As Henry Ellis said, “All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” Inherent in the human condition is that we hold on to people, places and situations – or we let them go – voluntarily or involuntarily. This sermon will explore aspects of these ways of being – when and how they promote health, happiness or suffering. There will be a participative component.


August 2 – We Need Humor to Sustain Us Stanley Heller
Mixed in between jokes, puns, cartoons, limericks, sarcasm and funny videos, Stanley Heller will give a talk about uses and the ethics of humor. He believes in the power of human to entertain the good and mock the wicked. Expect laughter!

Annie will present a follow-up to the service she presented on July 2, 2023. Muslims have been here since the first Spanish conquistadors explored the land that would become the United States. We’ll share a few of their stories and continue in gratitude for the gifts they brought us.

August 30 – How Do We Know? Finding Clarity in a Noisy World – Lisa Kathleen Tancredi with Annie Senol
Every day we are pulled in countless directions by expectations, opinions, fears, desires, and the endless noise of modern life. How do we know which voice to trust? How do we recognize the difference between fear, conditioning, and the deeper wisdom that can guide us toward what is truly right for us? In this talk, Lisa Kathleen Tancredi explores what psychology, spirituality, and neuroscience have to say about intuition and inner knowing, and shares practical ways to recognize and strengthen our connection to this deeper guidance. She will also lead participants through a simple somatic practice to help access greater clarity, balance, and insight.

Lisa Kathleen Tancredi is a coach, speaker, educator, and end-of-life doula who helps people navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and meaning. Drawing on decades of study in neuroscience, meditation, yoga, philosophy, trauma healing, and spiritual traditions, she explores the intersection of science, wisdom, and human experience. Lisa’s work focuses on helping people reconnect with their inner resources, access deeper insight, and find steadiness in times of change and
