The primary purpose of the Mud and Lotus Collective is to offer a Buddhist-inspired path to recovery from addiction of all kinds. We gather together every week to do meditation, read from Buddhist recovery books, and have a discussion. Currently meeting at the UU Church of Bloomington on Thursdays at 6:30 pm. Open to all.

We are starting a group in support of families of trans youth. Especially in this time of hostility toward our trans loved ones, we want to offer a space of support, compassion, shared concerns, and resources. Please write to Carol McCord at "transfam@uubloomington.org" if you are interested in attending. (And please feel free to bring other family or friends who are not members of UUCB, but in need of such a group.)

For More information, please contact: Carol McCord - transfam@uubloomington.org

Choir schedule (starting August 8):

Thursday evenings: 7:00-8:30. Childcare available upon request.

Sunday mornings: 8:45 am rehearsal for 9:30 am service, 10:45 am rehearsal for 11:30 am service. Childcare always available.

Choir exercises body, mind, and spirit. Enhances your vocal fluency and keeps your voice young and flexible. Engages deep listening. Improves posture and lung capacity. Calms and focuses the mind (you won't have time for any other worries during rehearsal). Gives you the best seat in the house for the children's moment. And occasionally puts you smack in the middle of a masterpiece!

Women Taking the Steps meets every Friday in our Library. It is an in-person, closed discussion group for women. Closed meetings are for A.A. members only; for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking.” Learn more and find other area Alcoholics Anonymous meetings at area23aa.org/meetings.

UUCB members and friends of all ages are invited to join us in Fellowship Hall for an intergenerational game night, hosted by the UUCB Parents and Young Adults Groups. Pizza and salad will be provided. Pitch-in beverages and desserts are welcome! RSVP with this registration form (helpful but not required). See you there!  

This class explores the creative process through drawing, painting, and collage using a variety of materials. Entering “creative flow” often involves a shift in consciousness from verbal thought and expression to non-verbal “thinking in images,” which may share some of the same characteristics as meditation or prayer. This class invites participants to experience themselves in new ways and open themselves to personal growth. No drawing or painting experience necessary. This time, the class will utilize ideas from Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross in their book Your Brain on Art: How Art Transforms Us. Facilitated by Jeanne Myers. Meets in Fellowship Hall on Saturday, September 27, 1-4 p.m. Open to 14 participants, ages 18+.
