Our favorite songs, whoever the artist or whatever the style, were created in a strange alchemy of study and inspiration, of strict practice and of letting go. Spiritual Practice is a similar combination of dedication, muscle memory, and perhaps a little divine inspiration. Join us for a musical exploration of learning to risk, building the muscle memory of courage, and the spiritual practice of relationship when things around us are changing fast.

The Spiritual Autobiography Class

Come hear the stories of changed lives from members of
West Shore's Spiritual Autobiography class as they relate
how fear, taking a risk, teachers, telling the truth and mountaintop
moments have made them the people they are now
and the people they are becoming.
