Contemplative Stargazing: Emerging and Illuminating

For thousands of years, people have turned their eyes to the night sky in quiet wonder. This shared act of gazing upward and wondering together has awakened reflection, reverence, and insight across cultures and generations. Join astronomer and author Stephan Martin for an evening of contemplative stargazing as we open ourselves to the wonder, beauty, and mystery of the cosmos above and around us.

$35 per person

As we step into a new year alive with possibility, this session invites us to attune to what is quietly emerging—within the vastness of the universe and within the depths of our own being.

With mindful presence and a widened cosmic view, we open ourselves to the subtle wisdom rising in us, allowing it to guide the next steps of our journey.

The evening will include periods of guided stargazing, silent reflection, and mindful sharing, inviting a sense of cosmic perspective, community, and belonging to something larger. Many participants describe a profound sense of peace, wonder, inspiration, and renewal after these gatherings.

Steve will also bring a small telescope to reveal hidden wonders of the universe not visible to the unaided eye.

*Please bring a chair or a blanket for sitting on the ground and dress warmly.

*In case of clouds or poor weather, we’ll contemplate the nature of the universe indoors, with Steve guiding us to reflect on how our immediate experience and daily lives are woven into the magnificent unfolding story of the cosmos.

*Please meet at the Sanctuary

 Clear or cloudy, this is an evening you won’t want to miss!
