Fridays, starting September 19, 12:00 pm
$20 Suggested Donation to Sacred Waters
Weekly Online Interspiritual Group Contemplative Practices beginning Friday, September 19, via Zoom. Welcoming Prayer meets Fridays from 12:00pm PT to 12:30pm PT. Centering Prayer meets Fridays from 12:30pm PT to approximately 1:00pm PT. Fee: $20/month for either or both sessions. Register to receive the Zoom link.
Though contemplative practices are often thought of as solitary endeavors, community is a very important component in supporting our individual intentions. Whether you’re an experienced contemplative or just starting to engage, you’re welcome to join in!
Welcoming Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and emotional reactions to events and situations in daily life. The purpose of the Welcoming Prayer is to deepen our relationship with God through consenting in the ordinary activities of our day — “consent-on-the-go.”
Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, prayer in which we experience God’s presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself.
Facilitator: Sylvia Sepulveda is a longtime longtime practitioner, organizer, and facilitator of contemplative group practices. She offers spiritual direction, dreamwork, retreats, and art-based workshops through Secret Garden Practices (https://secretgardenpractices.com/).

Sung at the close of day in Cathedrals and churches throughout the world, Choral Evensong is a service of Evening Prayer, derived from the ancient offices of Vespers and Compline.

It is an opportunity for peaceful meditation in the midst of a busy week.
Every Sunday at 5:30 pm.
Followed by a reception.

Diocesan Youth Confirmation Program: 2026
2026-04-05 19:00 - 20:30
Sundays, February 8 through April 19, 7:00 pm
Welcome to our youth confirmation program! This is our fifth year offering this program, and this time we have invited the youth of the Diocese of Spokane to join us as well. Together, we will explore and learn about the Episcopal faith with the option of participating in a confirmation service at Cathedral Day, April 25, 2026.
All current high school youth are welcome to participate. (*If your child is in middle school, and is interested in the program, please contact Naomi Cavaliere directly.)
On Sunday evenings, starting February 8 through April 19, from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. we will be working our way through a curriculum called “Confirm Not Conform.” This curriculum is designed to encourage and invite youth to ask the hard questions and grapple with their own understanding of what they believe and why. Facilitated small group break-outs will provide time for conversation with peers of the same age.
Our Sunday evening meetings will be virtual via Zoom. Over the course of this10-week class, we will have different guest teachers who will lead the lessons and conversations. These teachers are clergy, lay leaders, and faith formation staff from across both Dioceses.
