Program

On this day we celebrate gratitude with our annual Thanksgiving potluck.

There is no program on December 29, 2024. Enjoy your holiday and seasonal gatherings.

Please join us, for our final program of the 2024 - 2025 program year!  This year, we're continuing our "Photo of the Year" feature. We will be sharing our "Photo of the Year" with one another, in a slideshow presentation format. We'd like you to select your single favorite photo from the past year. You don't need to have taken the photo, but if you use someone else's work, please be sure to credit the photographer. The photo can be of any family-friendly subject: historic, natural, portrait, or scenic -- whatever you'd like to share.

Lake Fellowship warmly welcomes Jen Veralle. Jen is Cofounder of Zero Proof Collective and Cofounder of Sauna and Sobriety. More information about her program to come.

Compassionate listening is a practice that can help relieve the suffering of another person. It integrates mindfulness and other techniques to foster deeper connections, reduce stress, and build resilience. This program, led by Lake Fellowship member Matthew Tift, explores practical tools like loving-kindness meditation, reflecting on strengths, and mindful listening — all backed by scientific research. Join us to learn how to listen with empathy, regulate your emotions, and enhance your well-being in personal and professional relationships.

You're invited to join Lake Fellowship member Marnie Karger for a program that explores this month's theme: The Practice of Invitation. Through discussion, small group work, and reflection, we'll explore the gifts that come with good invitations, both as the sender and the receiver.

Join Lake Fellowship member Marnie Karger for a program that explores this month's theme: The Practice of Repair. Some repairs are easy and even a little fun, while some repairs seem downright impossible and are easier avoided than faced. Marnie will lead an interactive program to explore how we can use what we already know and do well in terms of repair, to become better equipped and more willing to tackle tougher challenges.

If you want a head start on the discussion, Marnie invites you to consider the following questions:
