After engaging participants in a brief discussion, describe the workshop series. Spirit of Life helps participants:

• Become familiar with a broad and inclusive definition of spirituality-one that includes those who do and don't affirm the existence of spirit or deity
• Evaluate experiences of the spiritual turning points in their lives and spiritual experiences in day-to-day living
• Learn methods to be attentive to one's spirituality
• Consider the value of spiritual practice, in any variety of forms, as a means to deepen faith and enhance the quality of everyday living
• Participate in the spiritual practices of speaking and listening with respect
• Explore a vocabulary of reverence drawn from the Unitarian Universalist hymnbook Singing the Living Tradition and its supplement, Singing the Journey
• Articulate thoughts, feelings, and longings in authentic ways, and understand the spiritually healing value of such authenticity
• Explore possibilities for deepening experiences of spirituality for oneself and for others in the context of one's Unitarian Universalist congregation.
