Chalice Circles
All groups have open rolling enrollment. People join or leave a Chalice Circle throughout the year. Most Chalice Circles meet in the evening once per month on Zoom.
Chalice Circles is a small group curriculum that uses questions and spiritual exercises based on the monthly theme to encourage participants to reflect more deeply on the theme, their deeper selves and the world. The format is simple. Participants learn by listening, without interruption, to what their fellow group members choose to say and then share what they have learned about themselves. UUCWC has seven Chalice Circles including one for couples and one specifically for people who identify as LGBTQ+. Most Chalice Circles meet in the evening once per month on Zoom.
Creativity Matters
1st Sundays, 11:30am-1:30pm in room 201*
Facilitators: Nicole Robinson & Nancy Neff
*This group is currently full, waitlist available
3rd Wednesdays, 7:30-9:15pm on Zoom
Facilitators: Heather Edwards & Michelle Zechner
Limited to 8 participants per group
Explore where UUCWC’s theme of the month and creativity intersect in your life. Our virtual time together will include a time to center and check in, a creative warm-up, and a chance to share your responses to a journal prompt and project invitation from the monthly packet. Engage with the monthly theme in an embodied way before each gathering by reading the packet and spending time with a question, a prompt, and a project of your choosing. This group is for anyone who is curious, who wants to join a creative community, and who is willing to show up and take small risks in a safe place. No need to be an artist. Our intention is not to produce art but to play, enjoy the process, and explore our spirituality through creativity.
UU Wellspring: Spiritual Deepening for the UU Soul
UU Wellspring courses offer spiritual deepening for Unitarian Universalists.
Each curriculum incorporates five elements: 1) Daily spiritual practice; 2) Small group connections; 3) Individual work with a Spiritual Director/Companion; 4) Readings and resources for knowledge and reflection; and 5) Reflection and commitment to living our values in the world. UU Sources is the prerequisite for all other UU Wellspring courses. UU Wellspring courses begin in the Fall.
Pathways
Contact office for session information.
Facilitator: Rev. Kim
Pathways is a 4-session conversation about faith, UUism, and UUCWC, facilitated by Rev. Kim for both people new to Unitarian Universalism and long-time members. Some at-home study and reflection is part of the class. Each person’s perspective adds means and knowledge to the conversation. If you are interested in becoming, this class is required.
