What’s a Cosmic Mass? It’s a ritual that unites community across religions, cultures, and generations. Sacred wisdom from western, eastern, and global indigenous traditions is blended with ecstatic music, poetry, dancing, and multimedia imagery. Artists and musicians collaborate with spiritual leaders to reinvent and revitalize worship. The inclusive environment empowers participants of every age, race, and persuasion, to come together to share prayer and celebration.

* CELEBRATE * SING

Our theme, “One Radiant Peace - The Marriage of Compassion and Strength”, will be featured throughout the worship space in artwork, altars, and projected images of the Divine Feminine, the Sacred Masculine, and the honoring of peace, as seen through the prism of many faith traditions. The landmark venue is courtesy of Fourth Universalist Society’s Board of Trustees.

*DANCE

Rosemary Bray McNatt, pastor of Fourth Universalist Society, presenters include many multi-talented interfaith ministers and seminarians: Drummer Zenobia Conkerite; Gospel singer Rhetta Morgan; Liturgical dancers, led by Samuel Lipton; Poet/singer Erin Bailey; Native American flute performers Joelle Danant,Bob Demetrician, and Kathryn Twinfeathers; Manda Stretch on “hang” drum; “Circle of Soul,” a female music, dance, and art collective whose creativity honors the earth; and DJ Shaman Rev.
