I offer this Good Friday gift to my beloved community, “O Spirit Divine.” Namaste.

—Daniel, Webscribe (and Fiddler On the Hoof!)

Thank you for joining us Good Friday, April 10 at 8:00 am on your electronic device for a virtual worship service, featuring educator, writer and advocate for nonviolent change Ken Butigan, sacred movement led by liturgical dancer Carla DeSola, and music by troubadour Daniel Zwickel ben Avrám.

Thank you for staying away from the Lab this year, for Sheltering in Place and having joined us with your virtual, loving presence. By engaging in this nonviolent, spiritual practice you have demonstrated your love by respecting the health and safety of members of our beloved community.

As humanity faces the major threat of the coronavirus,
we safely gathered via the internet to call for the end of the threat of nuclear annihilation.
