The course is intended to be a journey of exploration and enrichment for each participant. In every meeting we are invited to bring a poem to share. It can be a published poem by any author, or it can be one of your own. You are encouraged to choose a poem that promotes or expresses spiritual expression or exploration for you. You may wish to use the course as the framework for your own spiritual practice or development, but this is not required. Facilitated by Linda Pickle. Meets in person on Tuesday evenings, 7-8:30pm, on March 24, 31; April 7, 14, 21.

If you have questions, please contact Linda using this contact form. Registration is limited to six adults, 18 years of age or older. 

A weekly Young Adult hangout where there's a different "Thing" every week. Work on your arts and crafts, discuss books and movies, play a game or just enjoy the company.

In the words of Connie Zweig, “Aging is our next frontier - a physical, emotional, moral, cognitive and spiritual frontier. Its mysteries and its terrors need to be faced consciously and mindfully.” This class will introduce processes and tools for doing this work, examining our own lives and supporting each other as we explore the path to elderhood. Facilitated by Stephanie Kimball. Meets on Wednesdays, 2 - 4 p.m., from January 14 to April 8 (no class on March 18).

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!

This group is held to provide support for families of trans youth. Especially in this time of hostility toward our trans loved ones, we want to offer a space of support, compassion, shared concerns, and resources. Please write to Carol McCord at "transfam@uubloomington.org" if you are interested in attending. (And please feel free to bring other family or friends who are not members of UUCB, but in need of such a group.)

For More information, please contact: Carol McCord - transfam@uubloomington.org
