“Leadership is people leading spiritual lives,” says Hilary Allen, a member of Congregational Life Staff in the New England Region. As practicing Unitarian Universalists, we have historically proclaimed that all have a role to play in creating the Beloved Community. But in times of stress and constant motion, how do we engage the depths of Love as a grounding force?

In Leading Spiritual Lives, a summer session jointly sponsored by the Central East and MidAmerica Regions, participants will come to a deeper understanding that trustworthy, inspired leadership is aligned with deep spiritual work that guides our choices, priorities, and actions with our professed values. Not only will we learn about the essential history and theology of our tradition, but we will also explore the ways that it is present for us today.

These sessions will include lecture, journaling, small group conversation, resource sharing, and embodied practices. In recognition of the many formal and informal ways that we lead spiritual lives within and beyond our congregations, all are welcome to register. Childcare will be available during every session gathering.

Date and Time: Our sessions will take place in person during CERSI’s morning and afternoon tracks: Monday, July 6 through Friday, July 10, from 10:30 to 11:45 each morning, with afternoon sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:15 to 4:45. 

Be sure you’ve registered at the CERS website (required) in addition to completing the special, add-on registration for the UUA Congregational Life Summer Session.

The CERSI registration deadline is June 20. You must be registered for both to attend.
