Dear hearth-tender 🔥 The Mystical Hearth (www.themysticalhearth.com) is a Sunday service for pluralistic explorations of the sacred in community. It is a place to practice reverence without dogma, to re-remember who we are, and to be together in the vastness of whatever we call God, Mystery, Reality, Love. You do not need a specific belief to belong here, or any belief at all. Only a willingness to be honest, present, and open with however the sacred emerges for you and together. The Hearth is the simplest sacred technology: a living center we tend to together. It belongs to no one, yet it warms everyone. We tend to this center at each service through different portals: ❤️ co-creation of altar 🧘‍♂️ guided collective meditation 🗣️ a sacred passage and sermon offered by a teacher from rotating wisdom lineages 📚 45 mins of deep reading of a sacred text of one's choosing (however you define sacred; whether that's a physics or 1,000 year old text) ✨ reading out loud passages or poetry that have moved us during our individual reading time This weeks guest: Kathryn (Kati) Devaney, PhD, is a neuroscientist and longtime meditation practitioner whose work bridges contemplative practice and the science of the mind. With more than 20 years of meditation experience, she has studied the neuroscience of attention and consciousness, earning her PhD with support from the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and later completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School. Now based in Berkeley, she serves as Chief Scientific Officer at the Consciousness Foundation and has contributed to leading research and education initiatives in meditation and psychedelic science. Kati has taught at Stanford and Boston University, lectured at institutions including MIT and Harvard, and serves on the boards of the Open Dharma Foundation and the Women’s Visionary Council. Please bring: 📚 one sacred text to read during sacred reading time (whatever sacred means to you!) 🥘 sacred object to add to our altar ❤️ your full presence and open heart to step into vertical time 👫 a friend +1 💰 100% of donations from this event go to ritual supples, snacks and tea
