President John Brown and Trustee Allan Yeager

Allan is unstoppable with his Seva. Behind the scenes with the new web project, admin office support, monthly inserts to the bulletin, library support and bookstore merchandising support are a few of his contributions.

President John is a heart of gold on the Board, on time in charge present and organized. And you can find him sweeping the floors, vacuuming the bookstore, and giving the minister a pep talk when needed.

Jail Ministry Gratitude

We would like to publicly recognize and celebrate the incredible dedication of Susan Bennett, Rosalie Sulgit-Shay, and Tamarya Hulme - who have tirelessly served in our community’s jail ministry. For the past six years, these women have committed themselves to visiting incarcerated individuals every week, bringing with them compassion, hope, and spiritual guidance. Their unwavering presence has provided comfort and a sense of dignity to those who are often overlooked, offering a light in some of the darkest moments of these individuals' lives.

Let us all take a moment to honor and thank them for their extraordinary service and the difference they have made in our community. Thank you.

Nick Carico and The Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa

In this video, our drummer, Nic Carico, shares his personal journey of how playing music at the Center became much more than just a gig. He recounts how he started playing in April 2021 after being invited by Chris, a connection made through Sonoma State University. Initially drawn to the music, he soon realized that the Center provided a deeper sense of community and personal growth. After briefly leaving to join a wedding band, he felt the absence of the Center's influence and returned in 2022.
