A Series of Small Group Reflections

We will continue with our second session on November 13 and continue on second Wednesdays from 7:00-8:00(ish)pm ET through May 2025.

As Unitarian Universalists recently affirmed seven Shared Values that define our faith, this series explores each one, using a podcast episode from a diverse list of pods as the "text" to generate thought, discussion, and learning together. In October, we began with a covenanting session and discussed how we care for one another.

In November, we will focus on our shared value of Interdependence:

“We honor the interdependent web of all existence. With reverence for the great web of life and with humility, we acknowledge our place in it. We covenant to protect Earth and all beings from exploitation. We will create and nurture sustainable relationships of care and respect, mutuality and justice. We will work to repair harm and damaged relationships.”

Using Krista Tippett’s interview with adrienne maree brown for the OnBeing podcast as food for thought, we will reflect on our place in the interdependent web, discuss what we might learn from the natural world, and strategize about practicing democracy and transformative justice in our everyday lives.

We will open the Zoom room at 5:30pm to stream the episode during an optional pre-gathering listening session. Come prepared to listen and share ideas in our learning community! The gathering officially starts at 7:00pm.
