June 22: Summer Interest Groups

“The Haunting Church” led by Cassey Crouch in the upstairs classroom

Explore your religious/philosophical past, how you got to UU and any trauma or epiphanies along the way. We will be talking, journaling and doing a time-line while keeping confidentiality within the group. In order to work, we need a minimum of 5 participants. Our goal is to explore the positives and negatives on our personal journeys. We will celebrate the good that we have brought along with us to the present and let go of the negative. Please check your schedules and if you are interested, get in touch with Cassey Crouch so the necessary materials can be available.

“Foodies” led by Alliey Roche in the Fellowship area

Foodies Unite! Come ready to share your favorite recipes, local restaurant recommendations, and specialty grocery spots as we engage in a free-wheeling discussion of all things food.

“A Discussion of Current Events” led by Jim Sheridan in the Cabin

What is of concern this week? Let’s discuss!

“Practical Mindfulness” led by Manuel Quintana in the Sanctuary

The unpredictable and chaotic actions of the federal government are creating ripples of insecurity, uncertainty and anxiety, with damaging effects on our emotional well-being and personal relationships. In recent conversations with several participants in Thoreau services, I have seen an interest in being able to slow down thoughts and emotion that sometimes seem to pile up in our minds, particularly during stressful times.  I believe that doing simple exercises and brief mindfulness practices can be very helpful.

“Let’s Make a Zine” Kids and Youth: Summer Art Series in the Conference Room

Join the fun as we turn the conference room into a publishing house! This summer the kids will be making their very own Zines! We will explore what it is to be UU through print media and personal expression!
