Covenant is the thread that joins Unitarian Universalist congregations, communities, and individuals together in a web of interconnection. The practice of promising to walk together is how we build beloved community.

THIS Monday
Nov. 18 at 8:00pm - Zoom
Nov. 20 at 8:00pm - In Person
Soul Matters are small groups that meet consistently on a monthly basis to companion each other on our individual journeys of discovery and growth. We do this using a packet of materials researched by a group of highly skilled UU professionals. The method used is deep listening as taught by the Quaker teacher and activist Parker Palmer. The method promotes a “heart” over “head” experience, and a chance to get to know our fellow group members on a very deep level. Small groups are a time-proven way to increase connections in spiritual community. And you may just find that the practice of deep listening translates well into more meaningful interactions in other areas of your life.
This year’s monthly themes are The Practice of….Invitation, Deep Listening, Repair, Presence, Story, Inclusion, Trust, Joy, Imagination, Freedom.
This Month is Living Love through the Practice of Repair. Materials can be found in the "Members Section" on the website under "Files".
