We are inspired by readings from the sacred texts of diverse spiritual traditions, sacred stories from our own life journeys,
  poetry, times of reflection, meditation and contemplation, inspiring music, prayer, commitments to work for social justice, affirmations to serve the Berkeley community and beyond.
