A study group for students of A Course In Miracles: a complete self-study spiritual thought system. See detailed info at acim.org.
A group for sharing and mutual support around changes in midlife. Themes include changes in social circles, death of loved ones, chronic illness, and processing grief and trauma at the personal and societal level.
Feeling disconnected and seeking deeper connections and peace? Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers methods to enhance empathy, de-escalate conflicts, and focus on basic needs for mutually beneficial solutions, providing hope for meaningful connections and conflict resolution.
We come together to explore our spiritual path through studying books, meditation, and energy practices.
We select a variety of literature based on group suggestions. Our monthly book selections for the year will be confirmed, and we will arrange the schedule with hosts or discussion leaders from October to May. All are welcome to join anytime during the year.
Zen meditation focuses on seated meditation, posture, and breathing. Practitioners aim to be present without attachment, leading to self-understanding, peace, and mindfulness.
The above link to the interest form is for First Unitarian Universalist Church staff to gauge interest in a MORE ACCESSIBLE Adult Pilgrimage to take place in early August 2025. There is no commitment right now, but we will be asking for a deposit early 2025 to secure spots.
Pilgrimage – used to describe an individual’s journey through life, sometimes as a general description of personal growth and exploration.
Different than simply ‘touring Boston’, pilgrimage is a chance to explore the roots of Unitarians and Universalists in Massachusetts. This group of pilgrims will take a deeper dive into the religious history of our UU ancestors and explore where they lived and now live on in memory. This is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen your UU Faith by walking the same streets and forest paths as they did and engage with their writings, influences, and lives. Offered regularly as an adult trip and a youth trip.
Programs for Adult Faith Development will vary from year to year, but may include:
