Additional details:

Shared Cluster Service hosted by All Souls guest Barbara Strassman.

You are cordially invited to a transformative Sound Healing Journey. Immerse yourself in a symphony of soothing sounds and gentle vibrations, designed to soothe your mind, body, and soul.

During this immersive experience, you will be guided through a meditative journey using a variety of instruments, including:

  • Singing Bowls

  • Rain sticks

  • Drums

  • Chimes

These instruments will create a harmonious soundscape that will promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance your overall well-being.

We’ll have a special guest to help facilitate our journey. Barbara Strassman who was raised in a household where hands on healing, meditation, yoga and metaphysical studies were everyday occurrences. Her understanding of the universe and the interconnectedness of everyone and everything, and her nonjudgmental approach makes her an excellent facilitator.

We look forward to sharing this healing experience with you.

We host a coffee hour with refreshments after Sunday service.

The Five Points Cluster congregations choose a specific Sunday once every month or so where we gather to share worship together at one of our churches. It is a wonderful way to experience different kinds of worship, get to know our neighbors and siblings in faith, and offer hospitality to one another.

This Worship Service will be held in person and via Zoom.us and is hosted by All Souls Braintree.
