Inviting the Sacred: A Midweek Pause for Peace

By


Finding time to reconnect with peace and presence can feel elusive during a busy week. Yet, even a few moments of stillness can transform our inner world. That’s the heart of Wednesday Meditation: Inviting the Sacred, a weekly gathering designed to create space for reflection, connection, and renewal.

Every Wednesday evening, from 6:00 to 6:45 pm PST, participants come together on Zoom for a guided meditation led by Rev. Siota Belle. This facilitator-led session welcomes meditators of all experience levels, offering a gentle invitation to explore sacredness in the community.

A Practice of Oneness

At its core, Wednesday Meditation is about more than relaxation—it’s an opportunity to invite the sacred into our awareness. Through guided practices, participants are encouraged to experience a sense of Oneness, where separation dissolves and connection deepens. Whether you’re new to meditation or have been practicing for years, the session provides a supportive environment to explore what sacredness means to you.

Each week, Rev. Siota Belle introduces a different meditation practice, offering variety and insight. From breath awareness to visualization, these techniques help participants tap into their innate stillness and open to the sacred in everyday life.

A Community of Peace

There’s something special about meditating with others, even in a virtual setting. The shared energy of a group can amplify the experience, creating a sense of connection that transcends the screen. In this safe and welcoming space, attendees come together to meditate and support one another on their spiritual journey.

For many, this midweek pause becomes a cherished ritual—a time to step away from the noise of the day and realign with inner peace. It’s a reminder that no matter how busy life gets, there’s always a place to find calm and clarity.
