Wisdom Vision

Exploring the Timeless Path of Wisdom

This Sunday, we will into the rich world of mysticism and the Wisdom tradition—a timeless spiritual path that offers renewal, deeper understanding, and guidance in our overstressed and multi-faceted world. The Wisdom tradition invites us to bridge the divide between science and religion, encouraging unity and collaboration in a time of division. It challenges us to embrace our ecological responsibilities with a sense of sacred stewardship and respond to the deep human longing for meaning and coherence. It also opens space for harmonious dialogue and mutual respect among diverse faiths, grounded in our shared practices and universal insights of Wisdom across traditions and cultures. Together, let's explore how "Wisdom Vision" can empower us to navigate life's complexities and celebrate and find meaning through our interconnectedness.

Celebrating the Creative Spirit with guest Ryan Lott

July 21, 2025

This Sunday, The Garden welcomes visionary composer and musician Ryan Lott, founder of the genre-defying band Son Lux. Known for his emotionally rich soundscapes and collaborations with artists like Mitski, David Byrne, and Paul Simon, Lott has scored major films including the recent Marvel blockbuster, Thunderbolts* , and the acclaimed Everything Everywhere All at Once , earning Academy Award and BAFTA nominations. In conversation with Richard Brendan, Ryan will share insights into his creative journey as we explore the transformative power of imagination. We hope to see you at our temporary venue—740 E 86th Street, Indianapolis—at 9 a.m. for “Celebrating the Creative Spirit.” Join us for a morning of inspiration, music, and meaningful conversation.

Looking Back | The Garden Then to Now

July 21, 2025

In "Together to Gather" after our first service at our temporary new venue, we enjoyed a look back to The Garden's beginning and its evolution over the past 30 years. Joleen House, who has been with The Garden since day one, shared some memories and a clip of Rev. Linda McCoy. In the clip, Linda spoke of her inspiration to create The Garden. A slide show of photos through the years followed, with discussion. Please note that we recorded this on the spur of the moment by request and a mobile phone -- while the band was doing its necessary break-down and load-out of our equipment from the space. Because of this, the audio may be difficult to hear at times.
