Womens' Circles have been part of our culture and tradition since ancient times. A place for women to connect, share and celebrate.  Join us as we knit and crochet projects each week, for various non-profit agencies. We have reflected on the words of Lisa Bogart (Knit, Purl, Pray), Joan Chittister (The Gift of Years), and currently on the words of Thich Nhat Hanh (Peace Is Every Step).

Join veterans Chris Antal and Jenny Pacanowski for a time of remembrance,  mourning, and release on the contemplative sanctuary grounds at Cranaleith Spiritual Center. We will build our capacity to both care about the human and environmental costs of US wars, and care for ourselves, veterans and other after war survivors in our communities. 

Join us as we toll our historic bell in solidarity with efforts to end gun violence in our neighborhoods and invite all who hear to respond to the call.

Cranaleith invites you to a transformative community storytelling experience, where the voices of veterans open a path toward healing, connection, and renewal. In a setting rooted in quiet reflection and shared presence, this gathering offers space for stories to be spoken, received, and gently held in community. This unique performance focuses on veterans sharing their experiences while releasing what no longer serves them. It is a space rooted in reflection, resilience, and connection.

Why write songs? For me, songwriting is how I find peace. Each song begins in the unfinished places: a lingering question, a tender memory, a quiet ache for meaning. Each song is a journey—an unfolding that moves from restlessness toward resolution, from searching toward a kind of gentle peace. I warmly invite you to join us at Cranaleith for an intimate afternoon of original music woven together with the stories that gave each song life.
