There are sacred moments in every journey when we are invited to pause, reflect, and honor all that has brought us to where we are today. This is one of those moments.As the Hope Interfaith Center prepares to close the chapter of our beloved home at 114 Pohl Road and step into a new season in a new location, we gather not to say goodbye, but to celebrate the beautiful unfolding of our shared story.Join us for a heartfelt and meaningful Spiritual Service centered on the sacred theme of Change - the endings that become beginnings, the courage to trust what is coming, and the enduring spirit that carries us forward.Where: 114 Pohl Road Mankato, MN. This special service will be led by Rev. Janice Hope Gorman, founder of the Hope Interfaith Center, alongside her longtime friend and ministry companion, Rev. Penny Tower, who has walked beside Janice since 1995 and was present during the early years of HIC’s journey. Penny has devoted her life to serving others through many callings - including teaching, healing, ministry, hospice care, and supporting families through the funeral profession. Above all, she treasures being a mother and “Mimi.” Her life reflects a deep commitment to compassion, presence, and love. Together, Janice and Penny will share reflections on the evolution of HIC, the lessons found in change, and the invitation to carry the spirit of this community wherever life leads us next .As Penny beautifully reminds us through one of her favorite quotes by Frederick Buechner: “You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.” In many ways, this captures the heart of our gathering. While walls and buildings may change, the love, healing, friendships, and sacred experiences we have shared here continue to live within each of us. Together, we will honor all that has been, express gratitude for the countless lives touched within these walls, and open our hearts to the possibilities awaiting HIC’s next chapter. Whether HIC has been your spiritual home for decades or you’ve only recently found this community, you are warmly invited to join us for this meaningful morning of reflection, remembrance, hope, and blessing. The spirit of Hope Interfaith Center has never been confined to a building. It lives within each person who has walked through its doors, found belonging, experienced healing, and chose love. As we close one chapter, we do so with grateful hearts and open hands, trusting that every ending makes space for a beautiful new beginning. If you are not able to attend in person, you may join us on ZOOM.Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83512829512...Zoom Meeting ID: 835 1282 9512Zoom Meeting Passcode: 297187We look forward to sharing this sacred moment with you.

Sacred Sound Baths
Frequency Healing
Sacred Sound baths are created by crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, gongs, Koshi chimes, and guided meditation. These sounds don’t just relax, they bring you into a deep state of ultimate bliss. They activate your parasympathetic nervous system (the one that tells your body it’s safe to rest, breathe, and heal). As the vibrations wash over you like a ray of sunshine, they help release feel-good chemicals, reduce pain signals, and guide you back into balance, peace, and presence. Sacred sound helps one to remember who you truly are: Divine, whole, and worthy of love.
If you would like a Sacred Sound Bath to be a part of an event of yours or come to your home or business, contact HIC to inquire.
What you may bring: yoga mat, water, and an open heart
