For safety reasons during the pandemic, neither the Unitarian Universalist Association nor the United Church of Christ will host Our Whole Lives trainings until in-person gatherings are deemed safe nationally. Any trainings on this calendar for 2021 may be hosted independent of the UUA and UCC.
Training participants are responsible for purchasing and reviewing the curriculum in advance and bringing it to the training, unless instructed otherwise by the registrar. If you are flying to attend a training, please note that the event may be cancelled due to low registration; travel cancellation insurance may be advisable.
All Adult-level trainings include Young Adult, Adult, and Older Adult material. Facilitators previously approved to implement only Young Adult and Adult levels may attend a free webinar to become approved to facilitate the Older Adult level. The Religious Education page has archived that webinar and other Our Whole Lives-related webinars under Faith Development Webinars.
Please also visit the United Church of Christ Our Whole Lives Training Calendar, which may include trainings not listed here. If you would like to host your own training, please read through the Planning Guide and request a Directory of Trainers.
If you do not see a training listed for your area, please contact your UUA Region's administrator or faith formation specialist. They will have the most up-to-date information about the trainings they are scheduling.
If you wish to sponsor and schedule your own training, please notify your region's faith formation specialist before firming up your plan and before submitting your training for listing here.
We list only trainings for which hosts have engaged two trainers, both of whom are approved for the grade level of the event. If you have not yet engaged both approved trainers, please wait to submit your event.
Submit a training for listing.
