Online Programs
Ongoing
In this monthly online group, we explore meaningful topics through a collaging process known as Soulcollage®. Past topics have included forgiveness, generosity, wisdom, compassion, courage and peace. Our goal is to increase self-awareness, transform limiting patterns, and grow in strength, compassion and resilience.
Soul Collage - 3rd Wednesdays of the Month
Cancer Prayer Support Group - 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the Month
We are a spiritual prayer support group that embraces, honors, and accompanies all touched by cancer. You are welcome, whatever cancer journey you are on––past or present––as patient, loved-one, or caregiver. This is a safe place to share and be held, whatever you are going through. We check in and listen respectfully. We hold one another in trust, hope, and love. We honor confidentiality.
East-West Meditation - Every Wednesday Evening
At Mercy Center Auburn, our East-West meditation paradigm invites you to taste Christian scriptures, the writings of Christian mystics, Buddhist scriptures, the teachings of ancient and contemporary Zen masters, as well as teachings from other spiritual traditions, with the aim of uncovering the veils of worldly conditioning that obscure our clear vision of what truly is and who we truly are.
Prayer Around the Cross in the Style of Taizé - 1st Fridays of the Month
If writing is important to you, you are invited to Mercy Online Writing sessions once a month on Zoom from September 8, 2026 to May 11, 2027. The classes focus on writing about your life. You will receive prompts to stimulate your writing, be invited to enjoy poetry, prayers and reflections on the month’s theme, share in a supportive writing community, explore writing skills offered through the classes, and discover more about your life by writing about it.
Centering Prayer - Every Monday (starting June 1, 2026)
Centering Prayer is a gentle, silent method of consenting to God’s presence and healing action within us. Based on rich Christian contemplative heritage, Centering Prayer offers us a way to be open to God. By taking time to “rest in God” each day, we open our awareness to the gift of God’s presence.

Writing Your Life: Mercy Online Writing 2026-2027
Taizé prayer is a contemplative Christian prayer style characterized by simple, repetitive chants, candlelight, extended periods of silence, and readings to foster meditation and a sense of unity among people from different Christian traditions. Named after the ecumenical Taizé Community in France, it emphasizes peace, reconciliation, and a meditative experience where the mind calms and the heart opens to God.
