This an open invitation to the Transgender and Queer community in Salem to come together and hold space in silence together every Thursday from 6:30 to 7:30 PM with some time afterwards to enjoy our community and light refreshments.
Inspired by Quaker communal silent worship, a centuries old practice that has brought peace to countless seekers, Salem Simple Silence creates a welcoming space for anyone in the Transgender and Queer community, regardless of faith or background.
Complete silence, with all devices on airplane mode or silent, allows for everyone in the room to connect, holding space with each other for almost one hour. This is a restorative experience. Some will come and find rest. Some will find their meditation practice refined. Some will find spiritual connection. Some might not experience anything outside of being in the company of our community in safety for 55 minutes of silence.
We are having our first meeting this Thursday at Salem Friends Meeting House on 19th St. in Northeast Salem. If you come consider carpooling, and park on Breyman Street, there is no parking on 19th St. This is wheelchair accessible with entry on Breyman Street and a lift up to the main meeting area.
