Unification & Blessing – Everyone meditates at the same time

Since 1997, CtH UCC has engaged in an annual Wesak ceremony. Wesak (Vesak) is a holiday traditionally observed mostly by Buddhists. CtH offers an annual meditation too. This is an esoteric Christian tradition that invites​ Christ and Buddha to work together to bless the world and to make spiritual progress one step further each year.

 The mythic story involves a gathering in the high Himalayas for the bringing down of the new energies to serve the world, into a bowl of water. We follow that tradition by providing our very own bowl of water and we allow that water to be charged.

Our ceremony typically takes place, and this year’s event can be practiced by anyone through Zoom.

Past Event Experience 

“Precisely at the moment of the moonrise, an entire tribe of coyotes began howling together. It was remarkable in that while the hills and trees surrounding us made moonrise at the precise moment unobservable, the Coyotes were right on cue. This was also at the very moment in which everyone globally was meditating at the same time!“
