May 7 at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street - "The Spiritual Journey: The Inward Search for Meaning and Purpose in a Chaotic World”

Do you long for more peace and fulfillment in your life? Do you feel distress, and anxiety about the direction of world events and concerned about the influence of technology and social media and disinformation in our politics and discourse today? Do you consider yourself spiritual but not religious?

In his talk, Mike Ferris will provide highlights of his own journey in search of serenity through discovery of spirituality in his life, sharing some of the insights he has learned from years of study of religious traditions and spiritual practices like yoga and meditation. His goal is to challenge others to explore their inner life as a means to bring back sanity in our world, one soul at a time.

Mike Ferris is retired from a professional career in environmental planning and community development and considers himself a spiritual seeker.

On Saturday at Give Grand Grandly 2023, we will have clay so everyone can make "hands" for Penny Park. Thanks to funding from the Town of Silver City, we care working on restoration to take of some vandalism and to restore two removed adobe walls. Currently, we are "rescuing" tiles from those walls to re-use. We have also repurposed some picnic tables that were at Lion's Park and turned them into chess tables. These will be placed in Penny Park once our restoration work on the 40’ wall is finished. There will be a chess tournament to celebrate the installation of the tables. We are excited to be able to provide an outdoor space for our local chess enthusiasts.
