Current Spirituality Calendar:
- Mondays – Morning Mantras that provide a single thought/affirmation for Women’s Spirituality to use as a touchstone throughout that day and week. The mantra is placed in the format of a digital image that includes a beautiful photo, typically a landscape. With the exception of the month of May when the images are all closeups of flowers as so many of our congregations host their Flower Communion during that month I thought it would be nice to make that as the offering here too.
- Thursdays – A prayer, blessing or meditation. Video and/or audio formats.
- Sundays – Twinkle offers a spiritual/worship message on Sundays.
- Monthly – Women’s Minerva Potluck Gathering + Ritual (Register for this event here: TwinkleManning@gmail.com)
- Recurring Hygge events, seasonal gatherings, pulpit supply and worship services, as well as Moment Meditations on Twinkle’s Ministry Channel.
We also post links to songs, chants, meditations and intentionally lift up the work of other inspirational and transformational spiritual leaders. Posts appear on our Facebook pages.

This website is a resource for all of us who are drawn to the Mystical aspects of Life and Living. Tara Brach's weekly video class and meditation is part of our spiritual calendar.
- Theology and Spirituality Classes, Webinars, Sermons and Curriculum
Typically once per month, “Twinkle” hosts a class to broaden the understanding Living Life as a Prayer and in collaboration with neighboring faiths. Often times it is through uses of online media as she and those present review a sermon, audio, video, publication or curriculum by other ministers and lay leaders who are well versed in the topics of discussion. These take place on the 15th day of each month, unless otherwise noted in the calendar.
Twinkle preaches transitioned to online message due to Covid-19

In 2021 we bid farewell to our Lancey Street retreat center. The location served us well for almost seven years.
It was time to move full-time to our Lake-side retreat locations. One in Rockwood and one in the heart of Kineo.
