Calendar Notes Spring 2021
Calendar Notes
from March 16th, 2020 onward: In response to COVID-19 Pandemic Response to Shelter in Place, All Gatherings at Twinkle's Place locations in Pittsfield and Rockwood (as well as any productions and events for Community Television productions Twinkle oversees, and events and gatherings she has been scheduled to speak at elsewhere) have either been postponed or transitioned to online platforms. See calendar below for links to details.
Current Women’s 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. Typically in image and text form, but sometimes also in audio.
- Sundays – A video – typically a reading, poem or prayer.
- Monthly – Minerva Online Potluck Gathering + Ritual (Register for this event here: TwinkleManning@gmail.com)
Above are offerings created by Rev. “Twinkle” Marie Porter-Manning to nurture women’s spirituality in collaboration with one of her fiscal sponsor’s: Women & Religion. We also post links to songs, chants, meditations and intentionally lift up the work of other inspirational women throughout each week. Posts appear on our Facebook pages.
Women’s Spirituality Facebook Group – (for deeper exploration of topics, connection and sharing):
https://www.facebook.com/groups/387134935467888/
Recurring Gatherings:
- Open Temple for Women
- Minerva Gatherings (Local and International Zoom Sessions)
- Monthly Women’s Book Group
- Meditation and Refreshments
- Coffeehouses with music, poetry, reflections, and more. (listings below)
Third Wednesday of each month…
On the date of Each Full Moon “Twinkle” hosts a gathering in her home for friends who wish to celebrate with her…
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.
2020 Events Calendar will continue to be updated throughout the year!! Because…Covid19…
