Community and Church Events

*church events* at the Church of Truth, 111 Superior Street Victoria BC
Sunday morning meditation, 10am
with Marcus
From Marcus:
I have sat Vippasana & Zen meditations. Done a lot of qi gong & sat with various spiritual teachers over the years. I now have modified it all into a western approach via brain wave research, atomic level biology & finding myself as various bodymind states that seem to be related to levels of memory. I keep reaching out to academia, other deep divers of inner inquiry & various perceptive others to try find common ground. It would be great if others came…. I will likely offer what I can to whoever comes….

Moving in the Mystery of Dark Times with Penny Allport

A movement inquiry based in Continuum (www.continuumteachers.com), and How Life Moves,(Kevin Frank & Caryn McHose)



 A movement inquiry, incorporating explorations of breath, sound and movement.  An elemental and evolutionary approach to movement, including perceptual practices of awareness in class and everyday life, …for sensuous support as we, linger in the darkness of not knowing … crossing thresholds of transformation in the body, movement and life. 

Here, we will embrace a species-inclusive awareness, including and incorporating movement gestures from earlier times, nature’s infinite and exquisite gestures, remembering and reclaiming our timeless instinctual nature, …to meet these dark days of winter …and the darkness of these times.

An opportunity for weekly connection, diving together in the deep-end of life, welcomed by frequencies of a future calling us into becoming the human’s kind we are called to be. Where visceral joy and engagement with fierce and fiery forces of creation can find us resting in love’s embrace.

All bodies welcome!

When: 5 Sessions – Thursdays, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon November 20 – December 18, 2025

“Because none of our senses can perceive it. It is also called “light,” because the less we obstruct it, the more radiant we are. The gateway to all understanding: In order to understand (stand under), we have to remain in the darkness of not-knowing.” Tao Te Ching, by Stephen Mitchell
