I want everyone to feel known and welcomed at the Center. I look forward to meeting you, if I haven’t already, and I want to offer some suggestions for meeting new people.
Classes are a wonderful way to meet new people, and our Education Ministry has tuition scholarship programs available. We have regular, certificated classes lasting from eight to ten weeks and shorter spiritual enrichment courses that last from four to five weeks. If you take five spiritual enrichment courses, the sixth one is free.
During our annual Nurturing Our Community event, you can volunteer to host a meal in your home and have folks bid for a seat at your table. Whether you are a guest or a host, it's a great way to eat delicious food, meet new friends, and have a good time.
There are number of other ways to meet new people that are free.
Stepping Stones Books and Gifts presents monthly events, where well-known authors and artists present extracts from their works. You can follow the bookstore events by checking our Upcoming Events section (left).
Other great social events are our Annual Picnic, Easter Services, and our annual Animal Blessing. These events are open to the whole family and are a great, easy way of connecting with others.

Rev. Ruth Barnhart has been working with individuals and couples since 1995. It is her greatest joy in life to support people in realizing healing and growth in their lives, and even more, to see people light up with a greater experience of who they are and their connection with the Divine.
Testimonial
I have been blessed to work with Ruth for the last three years. Ruth is that rare indivdiual who inspires an instant and deep trust. Compassionate and honest, she is deeply committed to her work and her spiritual practice. Ruth "walks the walk." In sessions, she uses deep, intuitive listening and brings her rich experience and awareness to help me uncover whatever is ready to be revealed and healed, so that I can move into ever expanding, peaceful expression. I feel a deep sense of safety and caring in her presence. Our sessions have a natural pace, which allows for a sense of wholeness and completion. Before I leave, I can already feel the shifts taking place. I am truly honored to call her Practitioner, mentor, and friend. -- LE
Rev. Ruth is available for appointments. Her fee is $75 for an hour/hour and a half session. She can be reached at 707-539-3515 or revruth@sonic.net.
The light of the Divine guides me to live in joy and freedom.
We are here to help!
