Salon
Harmony Creek's Salon provides a non-worship setting to gather and engage in thoughtful, stimulating conversation. Each week is unique as Salon members and guest facilitators offer interesting and ever-changing topics for discussion.
The History of Salon
What is Salon?
Although the concept of Salon is not well known today, conversation salons were once popular across Europe and in the United States. Here at Harmony Creek, former pastor Ruth Hopkins created our Salon several years ago as a way to more fully embrace the popular United Church of Christ slogan, “No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.”
Salon has no sermon, prayers, or singing. It is a safe, non-judgmental space for participants to share ourselves, build relationships, and enjoy discussions about a variety of life experiences. We think that’s pretty amazing! Many Salon participants also support church-wide justice activities and participate in congregational events.
As one member of the group put it, “Salon provides an opportunity for us to discuss how to be better people to the benefit of ourselves, one another and the world.” We welcome you, your thoughts, and your ideas to our community.
