SUMMARY:Sacred Sexuality
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mama Yoni (Sara Downing) \nWeaver: Debb \nMusic: Spirit Band. \nOur bodies are sacred. Our pleasure is sacred. Our sexuality is sacred.\nYet many of us have learned to disconnect from these essential parts of ourselves or to hold them with shame rather than celebration. This Sunday\, we’ll explore how pleasure\, from the simple pleasures of everyday life to the deeper pleasures of intimacy and sexuality\, can be a pathway to presence\, aliveness\, and the sacred.\nWherever you find yourself on the spectrum of sexual identity\, attraction\, or expression\, you are warmly welcome. \n \nSara Downing (Mama Yoni) \nSara\, a nurturing “mama bear “with a body-positive focus\, is a pleasure educator and intimacy mentor dedicated to helping people embrace their authentic selves and explore their desires with confidence. She brings warmth\, empathy\, and steadfast support—a reflection of her deep connection to the energy of mothering\, shaped by raising three daughters while navigating the challenges of severe mental illness within her family. With her training in DBT and intimacy\, Sara creates safer\, welcoming spaces where individuals can feel comfort\, delight\, and excitement in their bodies and sexuality\, expand their capacity for pleasure\, and courageously explore the edges of their erotic selves. Her presence offers unconditional support and loving attention for all of your tenderest parts. \n

SUMMARY:Practicing Justice
DESCRIPTION:In a time marked by rising division\, economic strain\, and global conflict\, how do we practice justice\, equity\, and compassion in real\, grounded ways? Drawing from his work in public education\, labour organizing\, anti-hate advocacy\, and community music\, Nigel reflects on what it means to build solidarity across difference. \nThrough story and song\, he explores how communities can resist fear\, reject scapegoating\, and nurture hope — not as sentiment\, but as disciplined action. \nJustice is not an abstract principle; it is something we practice together. \nSpeaker: Nigel Barriffe \nService Weaver: Peter \nMusic: Spirit Choir

SUMMARY:Post-DEI: How do people of faith respond?
DESCRIPTION:Over the last few years a back-lash has emerged against the work on diversity\, equity and anti-racism that arose after the murder of George Floyd. As companies and governments backtrack\, we see a rise in racism and discrimination in our general culture. At the same time progressives have been accused of censorship and a lack of tolerance for others views. What should we make of this? And how can faith and spirituality help us to find a way forward towards achieving a racially just world for all?’ \nSpeaker: Kofi Hope \nService Weaver: Gordon Clee \nMusic: Spirit Choir \n

SUMMARY:Dr. King and the UUs
DESCRIPTION:Unitarian Universalism came together as a merged denomination in 1961\, the same year the first Freedom Rides bussed through the American south\, and just two years before Martin Luther King Jr’s march on Washington and his much-quoted “I have a dream” speech. We will reflect on where our UU tradition’s unique story intersects with that of Dr. King. Where were the UUs during Rev. Dr. King’s push for Black civil rights? And what lessons can our justice efforts today take from that unique history? \nSpeaker: Rev. Sally \nService Weaver: Peter Marmorek \nMusic: Susanne and friends \n
