UU Wellspring’s Newest Program, Love at the Center: UU Values and Covenants, provides a core foundation for spiritual deepening. This small group, 13-session program provides an in-depth exploration of our shared faith. within the context of our personal identities and experiences, diverse communities, and relationship with the world. Join us for an informational session on (you date/time/place) and watch this Overview from UU Wellspring.
The Love at the Center: UU Values and Covenants is a new 13-session UU Wellspring program. It is open to anyone who has been in UU circles of some sort for at least a year, whether or not they have participated in UU Wellspring before.
Like Sources, UU Wellspring’s foundational program, there is pre-work. Plan at least an hour between the sessions. However, this program is also incorporating more experiences and storytelling into the program. There is less pre-work before the start of the program, and no additional retreat as for Sources. Attendance at the first two sessions are required to continue with the group.
Here are the books used in the program. All are available from the UUA’s Inspirit Bookstore and online retailers also offer them as ebooks. Sacred Nature may also be available from the Public library. You can begin reading Faithful Practices any time and we will assign specific chapters in the other two books.
- Beyond Welcome: Building Communities of Love, edited by Linnea Nelson (2022)
- Faithful Practices: Everyday Ways to Feed Your Spirit edited by Rev. Erik Wikstrom, (2018)
- Sacred Nature: Restoring Our Ancient Bond with the Natural World by Karen Armstrong
(2022)
Please complete this interest form (you add your form) and we will be in touch with you about more details in (name month). Until then, you might get a copy of Faithful Practices to begin reading.
Want to Improve Your Facilitation Skills?
Facilitate a Love at the Center, UU Wellspring Program and receive a session led by UU Wellspring on “Facilitation as a Sacred Opportunity.” Two-hour Sessions for each facilitator are offered free since we are an enrolled congregation. A session will be offered every month from May through November at various times. Co-Facilitators can try to attend the same session, but it is not required. Contact me about facilitating!
How is Love at the Center Different from Sources?
Both are now entry programs for UU Wellspring! Love at the Center adds more experiences and storytelling with a CARES format (Community, Agreements, Reflections, Experiences, and Storytelling). They both hold spiritual practices, spiritual companions, deep listening, and sharing from the soul as centering practices.
