Center for Spiritual Living San José Announces ARTSAlive Gala, Auction & Concert Fundraiser —A Celebration of Community and Creativity

San Jose, CA – The Center for Spiritual Living San José (CSLSJ) is proud to announce its upcoming ARTSAlive Gala, Auction & Concert Fundraiser featuring a “Taste of San José” a festive and flavorful evening of music, community, and giving, to be held on Friday, September 26, 2025 at CSLSJ’s beautiful campus in the heart of Willow Glen.

This year’s Gala will feature a live concert with internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Gary Lynn Floyd, diverse curated tasting experiences from local restaurants and caterers, and a dynamic 3-tiered auction experience—live, silent, and online. The event will also include a movie character costume contest and photo booth, door prizes, and interactive entertainment trivia.

"This event is a joyful reflection of who we are as a spiritual community," says Rev. Dr. Nadene Rogers, Spiritual Director of CSLSJ. "We believe in connection, in celebrating local talent, in supporting the arts, and in creating spaces where all people feel seen, fed, and uplifted. This night is about community—pure and simple."

A portion of the evening’s proceeds will benefit Silicon Valley Shakespeare, www.svshakespeare.org, a local nonprofit dedicated to bringing accessible, high-quality performing arts to the region. The remainder of the funds raised will support the ongoing spiritual programming, education, and community outreach initiatives of CSLSJ.

CSL San Jose is currently accepting restaurant partners, sponsors, and auction item donors. Business owners and supporters are invited to contact Rev. Dr. Nadene Rogers at revnadene@cslsj.org for more information on how to participate.

"We are here to inspire love, possibility, and belonging," Rev. Nadene adds. "What better way to do that than by gathering around food, music, support of our local community?"

This is a public event, all are welcome.
