Noticing Beauty
On this Mother’s Day, we will consider the benefits of using our precious resource of attention to notice beauty.
Speaker: Rev. Tracy Springberry
Awakening to the Earth
We are of the earth, connected deeply through our minds and bodies. We will recognize Earth Day by attending to these connections.
Easter!
In this multi-generational celebration, we will celebrate the awakening of life from loss, despair and death.
Faith in Dark Times
Most faith traditions have a way to help members deal with suffering of all kinds, including pain from deep injustice. Does Unitarian Universalism?
Renewing Our Faith Through Spiritual Practice
Spiritual practice is an important way for us to stay connected with what we most deeply value and trust. Practices such as meditation and prayer have helped people for millennia live rich, fulfilling lives.
Renewing Our Faith: Unitarian Universalism, Our Sources, and What We Have Faith In.
Sometimes UUs cringe at the word “faith” because they think it means “believing without evidence” but faith also means “trust.” What do we trust to be true? What do UUs trust?
Widening the Circle of Concern
In June 2020, the UUA’s Commission on Institutional Change published a report analyzing structural and systemic racism and white supremacy culture within Unitarian Universalism and offering recommendations for long-term cultural and institutional change. How might WHUUF engage with these recommendations?
What in the World, WHUUF?
Why does it matter that WHUUF exists? How does it make a difference in our lives? How might it make a difference in people we’ve never met?
When Intentions Go Wrong
Intentions sometimes have unintended consequences. On the journey we learn things we didn’t know. Sometimes it is in our best interest or in the best interest of people around us that we quit what we intended to. How do stay focused on what we want while attending to all the ways our behavior affects others?
Intention, Active Hope, and Changing the World
In her book Active Hope, environmentalist and Buddhist Joanna Macy helps us understand practically how to create hope by working together to build the world we want to live in, just like Martin Luther King, Jr. worked to do.
