A Series of Small Group Reflections

We will continue with our sixth session on March 12 and then 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 January, we focused on our shared value of Transformation. Please find information on our previous gatherings, including our shared covenant, on our resources page.

In March, we will focus on our shared value of Equity:

“We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.”

We will base our exploratory discussion on an episode of the Maintenance Phase podcast called “Glorifying Obesity” and Other Myths About Fat People (Transcript). Content note: co-hosts Aubrey Gordon and Michael Hobbes use profanity in the episode.

What is your understanding of fat liberation? Where might opportunities for fat thriving exist in our UU spaces? How might all of us work toward fat liberation together as a faith?

Join us as we learn and co-create a more liberatory future together!

We will open the Zoom room at 6:00pm to stream the episode during an optional pre-gathering listening session. The gathering officially starts at 7:00pm.
