Sacred Space Spiritual Group
Sacred Space Spiritual Group
A free, unincorporated, fluid spiritual group open to all beliefs. We seek spiritual growth and development through sharing, discussion, workshop exploration, meditation and Reiki.
Our group’s spiritual foundation: The group is non-denominational in that we do not prescribe to a particular dogma. It is multi-denominational in that people from many beliefs participate. We honor each individual’s right to a connection with a Higher Power, God, Divine Spirit, Creator of their own understanding and name. The purpose of our group is to grow spiritually and to explore or deepen our connection with that Divine Spirit, God, or Energy as we understand and call it. We do so in our services through guided meditation and Reiki. Our goal is to become more loving human beings and to practice this love and spirituality in our daily lives. It is our hope that group members extend their personal spiritual ministries into the community as they see fit.
Our group’s composition and membership:We have a fluid membership, open to all who are drawn to participate. At any given time you might find Christians, Agnostics, Buddhists, Native Americans, Wiccans, Jews, Muslims, Free Spirits and any other group (or non-group) participating in our discussions, meditations or Reiki sessions.
Our Services:We began in 2004, by meeting in member's homes, moved to SPOT Coffee, then Colgate Divinity School. Our group continued to grow so we rented space in downtown Rochester from the Quakers. In June, 2015, we moved to our hypnosis office in Webster. Three years later we returned to downtown Rochester. During the Covid pandemic we transitioned to ZOOM and remain there. This technology allows members who have moved to other states to continue to participate.
Reiki Practitioners: Rev. Kris, Rev. Barb, Lynne, Kelly, Shafer and several other Reiki Masters and students of Reiki serve as our volunteers.
Format: We do a check in, then create a circle of Sacred Space. I lead the group in a guided meditation. Participants stay in meditation or sit quietly while the volunteers provide them with a short Reiki treatment. Level 2 and above Reiki practitioners are able to send Distant Healing so you will receive healing just as if you were in the same room.
We conclude with a brief,check-in and open the circle.
Our Leadership: Reverend Kris Miller presides over the group’s spiritual affairs. Reverend Barb Tschiderer is the Associate Minister. An Advisory Board makes recommendations on behalf of the group. If you are interested in serving on the board, please let us know.
How we give service: We have a Reiki healing chain of 14 level 2 practitioners and reiki masters cross-country who send Reiki to those who request it. Several Sacred Space Spiritual Group members have volunteered for the Distant Healing Network. This is one of many ways our members give service. Members also volunteer with varied community organizations or work one on one with others as a way to "pay it forward." In years past, Rev. Cathleen and I provided a monthly spiritual service to residents at the Gran Vie Memory Care Unit.

"Thanks so much for Sacred Space. I appreciate the simplicity, effectiveness, connection energy, safe space and inspiration." ~A
"Thank you for inviting me to the Sacred Space group--what a wonderful experience it was in every way! Your live guided meditation was such a treat!! ....I wanted to thank all of the reiki practitioners, but I'd never even opened my eyes to see who was going around. I felt such light grounded energy from the group--supported wholly by your intention and skill in creating that space--the best reiki experience I've had in years!" ~M
