Worship and Spirituality
Ground Your Spirit
Through worship, meditation, music, ritual, and reflection, in a welcoming, multifaith setting, you can grow your capacity for healing and connection.
At Cedar Lane, we see spirituality as the practice of waking up—again and again—to the beauty, mystery, and meaning of life. It’s not about escaping the everyday, but learning to live it with greater presence, courage, and joy.
Spirituality is what helps us savor the sweetness of a moment, even when life feels uncertain. It’s what grounds us when the world feels overwhelming, and what lifts us when hope feels far away. It shows up in the laughter of children, in the quiet of meditation, in the stillness of grief, and in the fire of justice.
While spirituality is deeply personal, it’s not something we do alone. It’s a shared journey of becoming more fully alive—together. Through spiritual practices, we learn to listen more deeply, love more boldly, and show up more fully for ourselves and each other.
Explore how spiritual practices at Cedar Lane can support your journey—and help you say “yes” to life, one moment at a time
Weekly Worship
Each Sunday, we gather for worship services at 10:30 AM to open our heart and fortify our spirits. Our services typically last about an hour and fifteen minutes. Each service includes uplifting music, shared singing, thoughtful readings, a time for reflection or prayer, and a message from one of our ministers or guest speakers. Services are designed to nurture the spirit, build community, and call us to live with love and purpose. A few times a year, we hold special events called Spirit Experiences, that invite us to turn to wonder and indulge our imaginations and playful nature. Past Spirit Experiences have included Holi, Diwali, Bodhi Day, and Interfaith Commemoration of MLK’s Life and Legacy.
Mindfulness Meditation
Looking to start your week with greater calm and clarity? Join Cedar Lane members and friends for our Mindfulness Meditation Group, meeting Monday evenings from 7:30–9:00 PM on Zoom.
In this welcoming online space, we practice grounding mindfulness techniques to quiet the mind, open the heart, and connect with one another in spiritual community. Whether you're new to meditation or a longtime practitioner, all are welcome to come as you are.
Take a breath. Find your center. Be held in community.

At Cedar Lane, our gentle yoga classes offer a peaceful, welcoming space to stretch, strengthen, and reconnect with yourself in community. Each in-person session blends mindful movement, breathwork, and a short meditation to support balance in body, mind, and spirit.

Soul Circles
Looking for a space to explore life’s big questions in a supportive, spiritually grounded community? Soul Circles are small group gatherings where Cedar Lane members, friends, and guests come together once a month for meaningful conversations rooted in our monthly worship themes.
Each group receives a thoughtfully prepared packet with readings, questions, and practices to reflect on ahead of time. When the group meets—usually for 1.5 to 2 hours—participants share from personal experience, listen deeply, and build authentic relationships in a safe and caring setting. Most Soul Circles meet on Zoom, with some in-person options available.

Quiet Callings
Quiet Callings is a weekly spiritual gathering that offers a peaceful space for reflection, healing, and connection. Held Sundays at 9:30 AM, this 30-minute service weaves together gentle music, guided meditation, silence, and heartfelt sharing in community.
Whether you're seeking a calm start to your Sunday, a space for centering and grounding, or a way to connect more deeply with your inner life, Quiet Callings offers a meaningful and nourishing practice. Many participants describe it as a powerful way to meet their spiritual needs in a short, contemplative format.
Open to all, Quiet Callings welcomes you just as you are—in the quiet, in the questions, and in the sacred space we create together.
Earth-Based Spirituality
At Cedar Lane, we honor the sacredness of the Earth through seasonal celebrations rooted in Unitarian Universalist values—especially our commitment to the interdependent web of all existence. Earth-based spirituality reminds us that we are not separate from nature, but deeply woven into its rhythms and cycles.
Drawing from Pagan and Earth-centered traditions, we mark eight sacred festivals throughout the year—known as the Wheel of the Year:
Solar Celebrations
Ostara (Spring Equinox – March)
Litha (Summer Solstice – June)
Mabon (Autumn Equinox – September)
Yule (Winter Solstice – December)
Agricultural Celebrations
Imbolc (February – awakening of seeds)
Beltane (May – fertility and new life)
Lughnasadh (August – first harvest)
Samhain (October – final harvest, honoring ancestors)
Our rituals are usually held outdoors in the bench circle near the front entrance on Sundays at 9:30 AM, rain or shine. Recent gatherings have been offered in partnership with Quiet Callings, our Sunday morning reflective service.
Come as you are. Bring your love for the Earth and a spirit of curiosity. Join us in honoring the turning seasons, the wisdom of nature, and the sacredness of life.

Labyrinth Walks
Cedar Lane’s labyrinth offers a sacred path for meditation, reflection, and renewal. Throughout the year, we host guided labyrinth walks that honor the changing seasons and invite spiritual grounding through movement and stillness.
All are welcome—individuals, families, and first-timers alike. Our signature event takes place each New Year’s Eve, when we gather by candlelight to walk the labyrinth, release the old, and set intentions for the year to come.

JourneyWomen
JourneyWomen offers a sacred space to pause, reflect, and connect. We begin in silence, grounding ourselves in stillness and presence. Together, we explore readings from a variety of spiritual and literary sources, and gently share what’s meaningful in our lives.
Through deep listening and quiet witness, we offer one another nonverbal support and a sense of shared sacredness. This practice is open to all who seek connection, insight, and the healing power of silence.
