Heartfulness Meditation
- 2:30 PM - 2:50 PM
- Renown Regional Medical Center – Spiritual Center
- Free
Discover stillness and tranquility. Learn to use meditation as a powerful tool and experience the benefits for the body, mind and spirit! Every Thursday ◦ 2:30 – 2:50 p.m. Estelle J. Kelsey Interfaith Sanctuary ◦ Renown Regional Medical Center ◦ Instructor: Galen Gorelangton Mindfulness Meditation class at Renown with Galen Gorelangton: Discover stillness and tranquility Learn to use meditation as a powerful tool and experience the benefits for the body, mind and spirit! Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet, it is a way of entering into the quiet that is already present Reduce stress, anxiety, and depression Improve sleep and lower blood pressure Enhance creativity and concentration Create inner peace and connect to your spirit Improve relationships Awaken your intuition Here are a few tips that will enhance anyone’s experience in our meditation: * Take a seat. Find a place to sit that feels calm and quiet to you. There is no “right” way to sit, just get comfortable. If you choose, you can also lay down. * For meditation purposes, don’t get caught up in the “how,” the most important thing is to just relax. * Our goal is not to shut down all thoughts or emotions. Instead, we notice thoughts and feelings as they arise and observe them with a non-judgmental and loving attitude. You then redirect your attention back to the point of focus, which is often the breath. This process may happen a hundred times in one session and that’s okay. * Don’t worry too much that you’re doing it “right.” There is no goal: just allow peace and healing to happen. * Really commit yourself. Don’t just say, “Sure, I’ll try this for a couple days.” Really commit yourself to at least a month of regular practice. * Close with kindness. Once the meditation has ended, check in with yourself. Notice how your body feels, your thoughts and emotions. Take a moment to thank yourself for taking the time out of your day to rest in your own space and giving yourself the opportunity to relax. For more information, please email instructor, Galen Gorelangton at galengorelangton@gmail.com Galen Gorelangton is a doctoral candidate in religious rhetoric at UNR and a seminarian at the Institute of Buddhist Studies. He also has graduate degrees in philosophy and identity studies and currently teaches English at the University. Galen is an active member of the Reno Buddhist Center. Having experienced the healing benefits of meditation, he hopes to share it with others to aid them in their spiritual and healing journeys.

Kelsey Interfaith Sanctuary ◦ Renown Regional Medical Center Facilitated by: Spiritual Care Team The importance of your prayers and reflections for those in need cannot be overemphasized.

Every Friday, the Spiritual Care team leads a brief devotional for prayers and intercessions for those who have requested support. All the prayer partners are invited to participate!

Each person, according to their own personal belief or practice, may be part of the process of sharing words and thoughts as they ask for healing. Prayer, mediation, reflection, contemplation, recitation, chanting, reading — these and more – are all ways to intercede. Requesting a prayer or intercession: If you’d like to request a prayer be sent out on behalf of any patient, friend, family member or for anyone else in the community in need, please know that you are welcome to do so. You can do so by submitting a prayer card. Prayer cards are available at prayer boxes and in the Spiritual Center for your use. Cards are also available in the Care Coordination offices on units.

Roman Catholic Mass
- 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM
- Renown Regional Medical Center – Spiritual Center
- Free
Presiding: Father Joseph Infante, St. Therese Church of the Little Flower Estelle J. Kelsey Interfaith Sanctuary – Spiritual Center ◦ Renown Regional Medical Center This service is currently being offered on the first Friday of each month from 1:30-2:00 p.m., in English only. For Catholics, the Mass is a memorial of Christ’s suffering, death and resurrection. It is a sacrifice of thanksgiving to God, a blessing by which the Church expresses its gratitude to God for all God’s beneficence. In the Mass, the bread and wine become the “Body and Blood of Christ” — food for the body and the soul. By celebrating the Holy Eucharist on the first Friday of the month, the Catholic Community offers a blessing to remind Catholics of God’s continual and abiding presence in sickness, health, joy and pain. “God is always with us. God comes to be with us, and we come to be with God in the Holy Mass. God meets us where we are, and God is present in the bread and wine, in the scripture we read and hear, and in the community gathered together. Through the Holy Mass, we become one body, one family, one community. First Friday devotion aims to honor and recognize the Sacred Heart of Jesus, whose love of humanity is rich, genuine, holy, and everlasting.” – Fr.
