Article 2 Lectio Divina
This year, as we focus on learning about the Article 2 changes in the bylaws for our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), we will offer many different ways to engage around this critical moment in our faith. The changes focus on centering love around six values to replace the seven principles.  You are invited to join in the spiritual practice of Lectio Divina as we delve into these changes and what they mean for UUs. There are two opportunities to experience this program.  Monday, November 13th at 7 p.m. or Wednesday, November 15th at 2 p.m. 

Article 2 Small Group Ministry Groups
Join us for this 5-week small group ministry study of the proposed Article 11 by-law changes for the Unitarian Universalist Association.  These changes focus on centering love around six values as a replacement for the seven principles.  We’ll discuss these potential changes while deepening our connections with each other.  Group 1: Wednesdays at 2 pm November 22nd, 29th and December 6th, 13th and 20th Group 2: Mondays at 7 pm, November 20th, 27th and December 4th, 11th, 18th

Playdates with the Crone and Crone Ceremony
According to scholar Clarissa Pinkola Estés, the Crone is “the one who sees far, who looks into the spaces between the worlds and can see what is coming, what has been, and what is now and what underlies and stands behind many things. The Crone represents the ability to see, more than just with one’s eyes alone, but to see with the heart’s eyes, with the soul’s eyes, through the eyes of the creative force and the animating force of the psyche.” The modern Crone is a vibrant older woman with the wisdom of a lifetime of adventures and experiences. She has done everything that society has expected of her. She is now at a stage where she has gained enough confidence to step fully into her power and finally imagine, create, and fulfill her wildest desires. She is sovereign, and her status in society is hers to decide. This series of playdates invites any woman who identifies as a crone, or crone to be, to explore what it means to live into the second half of life.  We will use many modalities to explore who we are as wise, wild women. Dates: Jan 22nd, Feb 26th, March 18th, April 22nd 6-8 pm
Crone Ceremony May 6th 

Box Meditation
Join us for a fun practice of meditation and intuition!  A mystery item will be placed in a closed box, and we will spend time creating art around what we “feel” is in the box.  Join this spiritual practice of art, fun, and a little divination. Tuesday December 7th – 6pm
