2022 Spring Schedule
Gong Meditation
Facilitator: Denis Picard
A Tibetan lama was asked how do you teach a child to meditate? His answer was to ring a bell and wait for the sound to disappear. The gong experience is a sound immersion of emotional crescendos accented by periods of silence, listening for the fade to infinity… Come join us as we journey together into the deep space of your interior. No experience needed, just a set of ears.
Join Dennis in-person on Monday evenings at UUCM, 328 Paddock Avenue
Pop Up Book Chat

You’re invited to a virtual pop-up book chat: Liz, Angie, & friends are reading another chapter of Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a modern work of Indigenous Wisdom on the Natural World & they recommend you do too!

Soul Circle Small Group Ministry
Facilitator: Kathy
Using the Circle of Trust format popularized by Parker Palmer, Rev. Tony facilitates reflection on the month’s spiritual theme. IMPORTANT-each month we reflect on resources that are emailed well ahead of the meeting, so the earlier you let Kathy know you are interested, the more time you have the material.
Please contact facilitator at least 24 hours ahead of scheduled date and time if you plan to attend.

UU 101: The basics of UU Theology and History
Learn the basics of UU history and theology via an individually paced self-study. The main slide show is used for our new members class, but contains all the basics and is great for a refresher or to fill in gaps in your knowledge. The webpage also includes a playlist of videos that are general introductions to Unitarian Universalism as well as a playlist of videos about more specific aspects of UU history or UU theology. This time together will help us foster an understanding of intersectionality. It will also include a discussion of ways that principles of Unitarian Universalism are a natural fit to support intersectionality as a theory and a lived reality. Part of the time in this session will be spent looking at the ways that each of us has many identities, as a way to ground the experience.
NOTE – Since YOU are the facilitator you set your own pace at your own convenience. IF you would like to discuss things you are learning with Rev. Tony and/or a group of people who are also interested, contact Rev. Tony at revtonyuu@gmail.com.
