Spiritual Journey Book Read: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer - Zoom
- Contact
- Helen Tinsley-Jones
htinsleyjones@yahoo.com
PLEASE NOTE: This is a 5 session book discussion event. 4 Zoom sessions run from 7-8:30 pm on 6/7, 6/21, 7/5, & 7/19. Final session is on 7/31, time to be determined. UUCB's Honoring Indigenous Peoples Group (HIP) has been enjoying the feast that is reading Braiding Sweetgrass, and, finding it powerful and deeply inspiring, we’ve realized that it calls to be shared with our wider UUCB community and friends in the form of a time-limited book group. Author Robin Wall Kimmerer is an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, botanist, distinguished professor, poet, mother and award-winning writer. This best-selling book lives at the intersections of science and spirituality, of botany and environmentalism, frequently inviting the reader to stop and reflect, awakening our poetic souls and teaching us to be better stewards of the earth

Chancel
Sanctuary
Roy Zimmerman has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for social justice to stages, screens and airwaves for thirty-odd years. (And they’ve been thirty ODD years.) “This Machine” is ninety minutes of Roy’s songs, at turns heartfelt and hilarious. It’s laughter and encouragement for progressive-minded people who need a lot of both. With his wife and co-writer Melanie Harby, Roy is celebrating the release of “This Machine: The Best of Roy Zimmerman,” a double album set containing their runaway song parody “Vote Him Away (The Liar Tweets Tonight).” Joni Mitchell says, “Roy's lyrics move beyond poetry and achieve perfection." Tickets are available at the door for $25 or whatever you can pay, or from brownpapertickets.com/event/5476118.

Adult Explore-ACTIVE HOPE: Strength & Resilience in this time of global distress - Zoom Account: UUCB Community
- Contact
- Lonnie Moseley
adulted@uucb.org
- Room/Location
- Zoom - UUCB Community
This special Adult Education/Exploration workshop given by UU Member (Springfield, MA), Verne McArthur, and explores the work of Joanna Macy. Donations are $10 to $15 and will be given in entirety to the Poor People's Campaign. Donate using the Donate button on uucb.org in the top right menu. Active Hope: Finding strength and resilience in this time of global distress In this turbulent time, when so many things seem in peril, we face the challenge of overcoming inevitable feelings of discouragement and despair as the problems accumulate. Active Hope, different from optimism, offers an alternative to despair and denial—the path of reconnection and of tapping into our innate resiliency. This workshop, based on the work of Joanna Macy and built around participatory exercises, helps us see in new ways the challenges we face, offers tools for dealing with our feelings in this difficult time, and builds a sense of effectiveness in moving toward a sustainable way of being on the planet, in our personal and/or community lives. We’ll learn how to “catch an inspiring vision”, how to tap into the power of ‘synergy”. Verne McArthur is a retired college teacher, non-retired activist, workshop leader, singer, and song-leader. He taught adult students for 30 years, specializing in critical thinking & sustainable community development. He has facilitated Active Hope workshops for several years in formats ranging from 2 hour introductory sessions to week-long workshops. He’s involved in environmental activism through the Springfield (MA) Climate Justice Coalition, a voice for pro-active efforts to build sustainable and resilient community in Springfield. A long-time member of the Unitarian Universalist congregation in Springfield, he has led services, singing, and workshops in various congregations in New England.
