For our Liberating Practices gathering in May, we’re going to be trying something new. You’ve been asking for us to get more concrete in our conversations, so this month we'll use a case study to practice thinking about how to rearrange, restructure, and reinvent “the way we’ve always done it.” Pre-work will include the whole case, with several versions to choose from based on congregation size.
Our gathering this month will be on Tuesday, May 21 from 7:00 to 8:30pm via Zoom. Sign up here to receive information and items for reflection before the meeting, as well as the registration link. Please note, individual registration is required for each gathering. The registration deadline is Monday, May 20. |

Resonance: A communal exploration of what’s alive in UU faith formation... Religious Education Professionals (REPs) are invited to join us on Tuesday, May 7 from 12:00 to 1:30pm ET for a collective deep listening experience called Acoustic Resonance. Here we will share stories about what is alive, vital, or promising in our work in congregations.
This Resonance exercise is both a spiritual practice and organizing strategy developed by Movimiento Cosecha, inspired by the work of Paulo Freire, where storytelling and deep listening combine to establish deeper connections -- connections upon which movement building can take place. Let's build something together!
Religious Education Professionals (REPs) are warmly welcomed into this quarterly collegial gathering hosted by your UUA’s Faith Development Co-Lab, a joint working group of the Lifespan Faith Engagement and Congregational Life offices. Registration is free and required, please RSVP at least 24 hours before the meet-up. |
