  • Exploring Daoist Philosophy: Ziran and Reverence for the Natural - Room 208

    Wednesday, October 21, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
    A five-part course on Daoist philosophy for nature-lovers, tree-huggers, and authority-questioners. This ancient, egalitarian Chinese tradition has inspired hermits, anarchists, sci-fi writers, rebellions, and environmentalists for millennia. After covering the basics, we'll dive deep into ziran ("natural spontaneity"), a deep idea that the purest things act freely, of themselves, without outside imposition. Expect poetry, ancient but approachable texts, laid-back presentations, and open discussion facilitated by Zach Ammerman. All faith backgrounds (and none) welcome to explore this non-theistic philosophy. Appropriate both for newcomers and for those who took the previous Daoism course last spring. Facilitated by Zach Ammerman. Meets Wednesdays, 7-9pm, starting on October 7 - November 4 (5 sessions). Register here

  • UU Choir Rehearsal - Meeting Room

    Thursday, October 22, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
    Choir schedule (starting August 8):
    Thursday evenings: 7:00-8:30. Childcare available upon request.
    Sunday mornings: 8:45 am rehearsal for 9:30 am service, 10:45 am rehearsal for 11:30 am service. Childcare always available.

    Choir exercises body, mind, and spirit. Enhances your vocal fluency and keeps your voice young and flexible. Engages deep listening. Improves posture and lung capacity. Calms and focuses the mind (you won't have time for any other worries during rehearsal). Gives you the best seat in the house for the children's moment. And occasionally puts you smack in the middle of a masterpiece!
