Unitarian Universalism offers diverse and meaningful ways of connecting with the sacred. Whether we’re sitting in Zen Buddhist meditation, listening for truth with Christian lectio divina<\/em>, praying to the spirit of life, or chanting in a circle at winter solstice,\u00a0our spirituality is unbounded. Our stories and practices\u00a0draws from our six sources<\/a>\u00a0of inspiration.<\/p>\n

We may find joy by keeping a gratitude journal, peace by reflecting in meditation, hope by joining hands in a circle of prayer, connection while marching for justice, wisdom from hiking in the forest. As people of many beliefs<\/a>, we are each encouraged to embrace and practice forms of spirituality that resonate with our hearts and minds.<\/p>\n

Our communities are homes for people with a diversity of spiritual practices. Through our worship<\/a>\u00a0services and programs, we offer people the opportunity to learn more and go deeper.<\/p>\n

We gather together in spiritual community because we need constant reminders of what matters most in life<\/a>. In a world of heartbreak and dehumanization, our congregations and communities call us to our better selves. We learn to live\u00a0with more wisdom, more connection, and more\u00a0compassion.<\/p>\n

Our Worship Services<\/a> are weekly reflections that weave together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. Our programs for all ages<\/a> inspire us, and awaken us to our capacities to make a difference in our own lives and in the world.<\/p>\n

We are inspired not just by religious sources<\/a> but by the people with whom we journey<\/a>: the diverse and spirited\u00a0Unitarian Universalists.<\/p>\n
