Community Activities

Devotional meetings bring friends, families and neighbors together in a spirit of worship — feeding the soul through prayer, song and contemplation. Drawing strength from the cultural character of each community, they inspire meaningful connections in an informal setting. Read some Bahá'í Prayers.

Join us Saturdays at 3pm!

Children's classes allow a community's youngest members to practice their God-given qualities, such as kindness, generosity, patience and compassion. Parents, teens and young adults teach these classes and create an environment where children feel they belong to the community and share in its purpose. View a sample lesson.

The Junior Youth Spiritual Empowerment Program (JYSEP) is offered to young people ages 11 to 14. These groups help the junior youth (pre-teens) to tap into their acute sense of justice, growing awareness and increased interest in profound questions. Through storytelling, discussion, recreation, arts and service projects, participants form healthy and productive patterns of behavior. They build discernment and decision-making skills and learn to address the needs of their communities. Learn more about the program. 

Study circles provide participants with the knowledge, spiritual insights and skills to contribute to the betterment of society. They connect study of Bahá’í Sacred Texts to acts of service. Study circles are held in an uplifting environment conducive to the spiritual empowerment of individuals, who come to see themselves as active agents of their own learning. The materials feature participatory learning, involving discussion with others, the use of the arts, and putting concepts into practice through acts of service. Download the first book, Reflections on the Life of the Spirit, or sign up to join a study circle.

Engage in meaningful conversations about topics relevant to our society today, such as justice, oneness, and peace.

Monthly dialogue groups are held at the Brookline Library.  Contact us for more information!
