August 24th Query: What is on your mind?
Still, Small Voice draws its name from the idea of the "still, small voice" within—a quiet, inner voice that guides us in moments of reflection. This monthly gathering, started in 2023 as an artistic experiment, now returns as a community-led practice with rotating facilitators. It invites participants to engage in silent reflection and thoughtful sharing, centered around a question about creativity, community, and being human. We forever ever grateful for Nanao Anton & Erling Hope for their contributions, inspirations, and commitment.
This is a space to hear your and others’ authentic voices & own it in community, free of judgement or reaction, as necessary
This is not group therapy, a study group, a political action group or Quaker Meeting.
Please review our Community Values before attending.

The Church presents its very first unique
choreographed commission
Award-winning contemporary dancer and choreographer CLAUDIA HILDA is joined by Dancer DANNY QUITANA for a dance performance in response and commissioned as a companion to The Ark. Subtly interweaving an expanded multidisciplinary practice that combines performance, video art, and writing, Hilda presents a multidimensional work that deeply explores and expresses the themes of our summer exhibition, enriched by her collaboration with Quitana’s traditional foundation in dance. Audience experience is heightened by the beautiful experimental design of recent graduate ELEANORE JEFFREYS whose love for immersive design invites you deeper into the performance. Additionally, guests are treated to a live performance from the musical genius of ALEX KOI, whose music has been described as “impossibly stunning” (Stereo Stickman). Space is limited; please reserve tickets in advance and avoid the waitlist.
With over a decade of training and caring for dogs, Veronica Gryzbowska and Gail Murphy from Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF Hamptons) come to The Church and join animal lover and The Church Co-founder April Gornik in a lively discussion meant to reveal the truths (and dispel the myths) about our beloved four-legged family members. Learn something new or debunk old tricks from the experts and ask your questions during the Q&A. Ready to expand the fam? Visit the ARF adoption vehicle in the parking lot to find your new furry family member! Unable to have a pet? Come by and support the shelter and find out ways you can volunteer, foster, donate, and support ARF’s rescues.
“….When the dove returned to him in the evening,
there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf…”
The Ark is about to dock, and to celebrate our closing weekend, we invite our poetry-loving friends to the fourth installment of The Power Of Poetry, our community-driven poetry read-in. Gathering in the library, we will weave through a curated selection of poems that relate to The Ark as we explore man’s relationship to animals and nature and examine archetypal imagery of the flood, the raven, the dove, and the rainbow. Join us as we fill the gallery with the power of poetry— reading, listening, and reflecting on poetry in real-time.
As a reminder, the poems are curated in advance, and readers are assigned their reading order upon arrival. Poems are not pre-selected, rehearsed, or memorized but are actively engaged with as the reader steps up to the mic. Feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, with many sharing that this format helps both listeners and readers feel liberated from ego and fully immersed in the poem.
If you are interested in reading,
please purchase/reserve a ticket first.
After check out, there will be a link to the
“Request to Read” form on your confirmation screen.
If you have any questions, please email kristen@thechurchsagharbor.org
