June's theme: Joyful Justice Speaker: Kofi Hope Music: Susanne and Friends Message: Finding Strength from the Spiritual in Dark Times It can be hard to feel hopeful, even joyful in what feels like a difficult time in the quest for social justice. Returning speaker Kofi Hope shares how swapping the technology we use to perceive the world – modern tech such as social media for spiritual technology, including ancient faith traditions -- may help us recover some of that joy and face challenges from a more grounded place.

June's theme: Joyful Justice Speaker: Rev Stephen Atkinson Music: Spirit Choir
You are invited to join Rev Trudeau and Dr Hayden for this important presentation. These two sessions consist of conversations on racism in Canada; you may attend one or both. The need for such conversations comes out of the 2021 CUC (Canadian Unitarian Council) survey results which showed a disconnect between the perceptions of White UUs and the lived experiences of Black, Indigenous, and racialized UU congregants. Participants will be able to engage in a discussion of interpersonal and systemic racism in Canada. Our goal is to foster deeper understandings necessary for moving towards dismantling effects of White supremacy and colonialism. All are welcome.
Co-facilitated by Jane Lewis and Susanne Maziarz. All are welcome to this improvised singing circle. A creative opportunity for listening, being in the moment, sharing your voice, and laughing! Contact Susanne at music@nuuc.ca for more info.
