Looking for spiritual community w/mid-week service

I'm spiritual, currently non-religious (though raised Presbyterian) and I would like to find a spiritual community that feels comfortable to me. I'm open to different paths, but would prefer something not overly dogmatic and also not too new agey. (I don't think the Religious Science churches are a good fit for me.) Music would be a plus, but it's not essential. I live near Piedmont and would like it to be an easy drive. I also would love to find someplace that has a service during the week. Got any suggestions? Thanks! Charlie

If you are open to non-Christian traditions, you might look into local Buddhist sanghas (communities that practice together), synagogues (especially more traditional or orthodox ones, which will have at least daily morning service; some more ''liberal'' synagogues may also have some sort of week-day service), or mosques. Of course, you'd need to connect with the appropriate faith leader to orient you, but maybe you'll find a new spiritual home.

Also, many people like Siddah Yoga Center in Oakland as a place for spiritual exploration and practice. You local Catholic church may also offer services or other spiritual practice opportunites. anon

Seeking Spiritual Teacher

This might be a strange place to look for this, but I'm longing to find someone who will give me individual guidance in following my spiritual path. I resonate with Buddhism and yoga but I feel I would grow much more in a one-on-one setting than I've found at the local centers. Therapy has really worked for me in growing in emotional ways and I wonder if there's a spiritual equivalent to that kind of intense relationship. I want someone who is not from any Judeo-Christian (or other) RELIGION, but rather someone who is intelligent, reality- and experience-based (not faith-based or God-based) who would challenge me to see beyond the mundane world in which most of us usually function. Inspirational teachers for me have included Ram Dass, Pema Chodron, the Dalai Lama, and BKS Iyengar. Any suggestions? If you have a teacher yourself and would be willing to talk to me about him or her, I'd love to have some contact info from you. Thanks!

Seeking Earth based child friendly spiritual circle

I'm a mother of a 16 month old and am searching for a spiritual community that is earth based in its nature. (ie. goddess centered, celebrates the sun and moon cycles) I have found that these kinds of groups are very hard to find and very diverse in nature. You can get all types. I was once active in a women's spiritual circle, but most of the women have since move away. Can someone recommend a place to go and search? Are groups posted somewhere? Are unitarian church along this line? I really want to start introducing my daughter to these different holidays, and they're so much more meaningful when done in community. Any suggestions?
