Christian Science Reading Room

Healing in Christian Science is joyful— it’s the natural result of understanding God as divine Life and Love.

In this inspirational talk, speaker Ann Kneeland shares real-life examples of spiritual healing. Her examples show how fear, illness, and polarization dissolve as we discover God’s pure and spiritual creation. This discovery brings joy, healing, and freedom for everyone.

Ann Kneeland, CS is a practitioner of Christian Science healing from San Rafael. She travels internationally to speak to audiences as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

The talk will be offered twice: Friday, October 16 at 7pm and Saturday, October 17 at 10am at the Christian Science Reading Room in Palo Alto (459 California Avenue) and streamed live: https://www.cspaloalto.org/event-details/healing-with-joy-discovering-the-power-of-love-2026-10-16-19-00-1

This event is a gift to the community from the members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Palo Alto. For more information, visit:&nbsp;www.cspaloalto.org

College of San Mateo Theatre

Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.
The San Mateo County Community College District in California, responsible for the College of San Mateo Theatre, is committed to ensuring an inclusive and equitable environment for all, where programs and services are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.
