Sunday, October 3, 2021 - Cultivating a Meaningful Relationship with Oneself and Others Through Meditation –Larry Hopwood, Guest Speaker
Our lives are full of relationships: family, friends, foes, pets, nature, and ourselves. Some are pleasant; some are unpleasant, and some are neutral or unnoticeable. Different levels of mindfulness meditation offer ways to make these relationships as meaningful and rewarding as possible. Since these relationships are all connected, starting with the relationship with ourselves can help us understand and appreciate our relationships with others.
Sunday, October 10, 2021 - Cultivating Relationship through Music –Davey Harrison, LCUUC Music Director
Music has an amazing empathic power. Through music we are able to transcend our own experiences and learn to come together as a loving community ready to raise our voices, clap our hands, and support each other.
Sunday, October 17, 2021 - Cultivating Relationship through Action –Rev. Carin Bringelson, LCUUC Minister
If relationships require us to be open to the possibility of being changed, what happens when we ground ourselves in relationships over the course of engaging in social action?
Sunday, October 24, 2021 - Relationships between Unitarians and Universalists –Rev. Carin Bringelson, LCUUC Minister
Sixty-two years ago, Unitarians and Universalists voted to consolidate into a single denomination. Today we’ll explore the relationships between our religious forebears that brought us to this point.
Sunday, October 31, 2021 - The Divided Self: Finding Peace in a Fractious Mind –Philip Chard, Guest Speaker
Inner conflict assumes many forms — guilt, shame, self-criticism, low self esteem, indecisiveness, even self-harm. The self is not a monolithic psychological entity, but one characterized by multiple “personas” that sometimes harbor competing agendas, attitudes and opinions. Inner conflict and division challenge us to transform the most constant and, arguably, important relationship we have — that with one’s self. We will examine the origins and workings of the divided self, how to negotiate a psychological truce, and paths toward reconciliation, healing and, eventually, inner peace.
