SUMMARY:Listening Circle on the State of the World
DESCRIPTION:We live in both beautiful and bewildering times\, and many of us feel the need to come together to try to make sense of it all. \nJoin us at 7pm when the Healthy Relations Team will facilitate a listening circle in the Fireside Room where we can talk about the complex feelings we’re carrying about global conflicts\, climate change\, and the state of democracy in the world. \nWhile there will be space to share what’s weighing on our hearts\, there will also be an invitation to look to where we can find hope and the seeds of resilience. All are welcome.

SUMMARY:Evening Circle Worship
DESCRIPTION:Winter Circle Worship – Staying Present Amidst Chaos\nCircle Worship is an intimate and participatory style of worship featuring ritual\, togetherness\, and reflection. Unitarian Universalist youth have been creating this style of worship for decades but it is enjoyed by and accessible to all ages. \nCircle Worship is open to everyone; come fill your spirit! Wednesday\, February 26th in the Fireside Room\, 6:00-7:30 pm. Theme this month: Being Present\, to this moment\, amidst uncertainty. Rev. Shawn and Kiersten are planning a time of music\, singing\, bearing witness to the chaos unfolding in our world right now and countering our anxiety through creation. Central to the worship will be a time of creation and contemplation. Materials will be provided for writing\, drawing\, sculpting\, manipulating\, moving\, dancing\, and simply being with the music. \nWe will start with dinner at 6:00 pm–bring food to share and/or RSVP to join the pizza order.  Ritual starts at 6:45 and we will end by 7:30 pm. Donations towards future food fund accepted\, not required. \nAttending with Children\nChildren are welcomed to attend and participate with a caregiver–there will be floor space and movement space available. Worship and Ritual are meaningful for children\, but sometimes group worship can be challenging. If you’re wondering whether to attend with your child\, things to consider are: It will be about 45 min long; there will be listening and singing and creating time; does your child mostly self-direct and self-regulate or do they need your active attention and guidance? Do they enjoy being in contemplative spaces with mixed ages? If they need very active attention and guidance\, how do you feel about co-regulating with them vs. fully experiencing the worship for yourself? \nPlease RSVP below so that we know how much pizza to order and how many chairs to set out. (RSVP’s after Tuesday night may not get counted for pizza–but you are still welcome to attend!) \n  \n
