JANUARY 4TH:  PIANO SOLO BY ANNABELLE LI!    Annabelle has been playing piano since she was 6 years old and studied piano under Ms. Sumi Nagasawa until she left for college in 2022.  Annabelle is currently a senior at Smith College, where she is studying neuroscience and psychology. She is also taking piano lessons under Dr. Jiayan Sun and has been involved in jazz ensembles and chamber ensembles at Smith College.  In 2023, she was selected as one of the winners of the Smith College Concerto Competition, and she performed the 2nd movement from Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Smith College Orchestra in spring 2024. Besides music, Annabelle enjoys hiking, reading, yoga, and a little bit of crochet. Today Annabelle will play: Reflets dans l'eau by Claude Debussy.       REV. CARRAWAY WILL SPEAK ON 'THE UNIVERSE IS CONSPIRING IN YOUR FAVOR.'     

JANUARY 11TH:  CELESTIAL SOUND MEDITATION.   Virtually everything on Earth vibrates.  All matter consists of atomic material, which is in constant motion.  This motion generates frequencies, which then generate sound.   Designed by Arin Wiscomb and Mariya Mironyuk, this meditation has the potential to break up emotional, physiological, and spiritual blockages.  Join us as we activate our sound codes and explore the mystery within.                                                                                                                    GUEST LECTURER: MS. JEAN NAUGHTON. A native of Ireland, Jean came to California via Japan, where she received a master’s degree in Economics at Kanazawa University. For many years, she worked in the tech world, but after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she decided to learn more about other ways to support our bodies during difficult and overwhelming health challenges. Now a graduate of Holistic Nutrition from Bauman College, a Certified Gluten Practitioner (CGP) & Restorative Health Practitioner, recently completing certification as a Certified Functional Medicine for ADHD Provider, and a mom to a most amazing 14-year-old son, Jean realizes that our health is a journey, and each journey is unique. By working with each individual, she explores ways to achieve optimal health through nutrition and lifestyle changes.  MS. NAUGHTON WILL SPEAK ON 'FROM SNIFFLES TO STRENGTH: YOUR WINTER IMMUNE NUTRITION GAME PLAN.' 

TESTIMONIAL CIRCLE: After the service, everyone is invited to join an informal testimonial circle, where participants share how they embody positivity and love in their daily lives.  Bring miracles, large & small.  Or just come and be present in the sharing.     

JANUARY 18TH:  PIANO SOLO BY JOSHUA CHENG!  Joshua Cheng is a sound engineer and musician born and raised in the Bay Area, having studied piano and trumpet under the mentorship of Sumi Nagasawa and Eric Leong. Later, Joshua completed his education at the University of Michigan, involved in acoustical research, sound equipment fabrication, and jazz studies.                                                    REV. CARRAWAY WILL SPEAK ON 'THE AGE OF AQUARIUS: A CYCLE OF EVOLUTION.' 

JANUARY 25TH:  MUSICAL CELEBRATION BY NORMAN TIEDEMANN!  When Norman’s in the kitchen cooking, his musical imagination takes him soaring to infinite places, from magical worlds to distant galaxies and cosmic adventures.  Like Plato’s idea of music giving ‘wings to the mind,’ Norman defies reality as he explores transcendence, connecting him to the Divine.  Join with us as we take flight with Norman and experience timelessness as we are lifted to the frequencies of love, awe, and unity.        GUEST LECTURE BY BRIAN STUBBS.   Brian Stubbs, an Estate Planning and Family Law attorney, is the very humorous and popular host of our TLA Sing n’ Share events.  When he’s not working on his jokes, Brian can be found at his family’s Napa Evergreen Ranch tending to his fruit tree orchard,  chainsawing, or feeding his chickens.                                                                                                                                 BRIAN WILL SPEAK ON 'I LOVE ME. I LOVE YOU.'
