The Master Plan for Aging
With every passing day, each one of us is getting older. This is a universal truth. An aging body and mind will more than likely change the way we live. Are we prepared for this? The State of California Department of Aging created a Master Plan for Aging (MPA), a ten-year blueprint reflecting California’s future vision of and commitment to an age and ability-forward state. This month we’ll learn about the new 2025-2026 initiatives, which focus on meeting the priority needs of older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers. Come prepared to discuss issues around aging. Click HERE to join the conversation

OCSL Prayer Request
In our form of affirmative prayer, we are announcing. We are remembering what is true about the goodness of this life and declaring it to be so. We are particularizing the love of God, the energy of the Universe, in our own life. ~Scott Awbry
Affirmative prayer is a major spiritual practice at Oakland Center for Spiritual Living. Everyone can learn to pray affirmatively. Trained Licensed Prayer Practitioners choose to make affirmative prayer their mission. To find a list of all the Practitioners, Click Here. Practitioners offer prayer to anyone at no cost.
