We humans are deeply, fundamentally, inescapably, relational beings. Our spirituality, our experiences of the sacred, revolves around how we relate to ourselves, to each other, to the cosmos. — Rev. Peter Morales, in Bringing Gifts, a publication of the Latino/Latina Unitarian Universalist Networking Alliance

This workshop invites participants to reflect on their experiences in Building the World We Dream About for Young Adults and to consider the commitments they each will make to continue the work going forward. The program ends with a worship service the group plans together that provides space for participants to bear witness to one another's experiences and commitments and to celebrate the work the group has done together.

If there are musicians in your group, invite them to bring along their instruments. You may also opt to recruit a volunteer musician who will serve as accompanist for the worship service.

Before leading this workshop, review the accessibility guidelines in the program Introduction under Integrating All Participants.
