Faith Curriculum Library: Tapestry of Faith: Spirit of Life: An Adult Program on Unitarian Universalist Spirituality

Introduction

Part of Spirit of Life

We covenant to affirm and promote... The inherent worth and dignity of every person.

The living tradition we share draws from... Wisdom from the world's religions which inspire us in our ethical and spiritual life.

The living tradition we share draws from... Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. — Principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association

This workshop helps participants connect with the sacred in everyday living. Participants will experience ways they can bring enhanced awareness to their activities throughout the day, and how they can let the Spirit of Life "move in their hand" as their hands do the work of daily living.

Goals

This workshop will:

  • Broaden participants' understanding of the sacred in the everyday
  • Build community in the group.

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

  • Identify everyday tasks during which they can intentionally connect with the Spirit of Life, and explore words and practices to facilitate that connection
  • Optional: Create and consider practices of praise, thanksgiving, awareness, intention, and petition which they can perform throughout the day.
