The Heartland String Band, a part of our music program, was founded by Carol Marks in August of 2001, but because of Covid they have not been able to play together in a while. Sally McGuire has graciously agreed to revive this merry band. The band will practice from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month in Fellowship Hall (latecomers welcome). They play old-time and Celtic music as well as folks songs, and all lovers of this music are welcome. Dulcimers, fiddles, cellos, pennywhistles, guitars, banjos, mandolins, even accordions!

The primary purpose of the Mud and Lotus Collective is to offer a Buddhist-inspired path to recovery from addiction of all kinds. We gather together every week to do meditation, read from Buddhist recovery books, and have a discussion. Currently meeting at the UU Church of Bloomington on Thursdays at 6:30 pm. Open to all.

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!
