Musical Sanctuary: Forgiveness

Musical Sanctuary: Forgiveness is a spiritual workshop in Murphys, California, that pairs a facilitated discussion about forgiveness with a guided meditation on forgiving, all accompanied by healing music. It is led by Kate Moody, Musical Minister, and held in the sanctuary of Open Door Church (formerly First Congregational). It suits anyone who wants to look at what makes forgiveness difficult and to practice it in a quiet, musical setting.

What to Expect

The evening begins at 5:30 PM and moves through three parts: a discussion on the nature of forgiveness and its obstacles, a guided meditative experience of forgiving oneself and others, and healing music woven through the session. Musical Sanctuary is a themed contemplative service, so music, meditation and reflection share the same room rather than sitting in separate segments. Attendance is by donation, with no fixed admission price.
