Are You Ready for 30 Days of Love?

Save the Date. January 15-February 14, 2024. 30 Day sof Love. spiritual Nourishment for the long haul. Red background with a heart.

This annual event offers a month of spiritual nourishment, political grounding, and shared practices of faith and justice.
30 Days of Love runs from Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (January 15) through Valentine’s Day (February 14).
Each week, you can expect to receive several different kinds of offerings, each from a different voice within Unitarian Universalism. Within each weekly theme, which will connect with one of our intersectional justice priorities, we plan to offer prayers, blessings, grounding, and meditative practices, a story or time for all ages, as well as a reflection from one of Side With Love's program and field staff.
To get an idea of what to expect or to enjoy some meditative breaks during your lunch now, see last year's offerings at the Side with Love website.

And to find out what is being offered this year, check out this year's page.

This year's themes are:

  • WEEK 1 (January 15-21) Safety :: Decriminalization
  • WEEK 2 (January 22-28) Re-Imagining :: Climate Justice
  • WEEK 3 (January 29 - February 4) Possibility :: Bodily Autonomy (LGBTQIA+, reproductive, gender, and disability justice)
  • WEEK 4 (February 5-11) Resilience :: Democracy & Electoral Justice
  • BONUS DAYS (February 12-14) Interdependence :: Liberatory Intersections

Side with Love offers these resources knowing various people will use them in a range of ways. Individuals may take a quick break during their lunch hour to watch a video blessing or read the week’s prayer; religious educators might use the Time for All Ages in worship, or encourage teachers to start their classes with the Body Practice; families might start a family meal reading one of the written reflections and then engaging in conversation; Board members and committee chairs might use the Grounding Practice to kick of that week’s meeting agenda. Please note that while we are not offering a full worship service as a part of 30 Days of Love this year, we hope that many of these weekly resources can be useful in your worship planning now and throughout the liturgical year.

However you use these resources, we are proud to bring you the love and wisdom of some of our most compelling UU voices, and are thankful for this annual opportunity to collectively nourish our spirits and love each other up for the long haul.
