Our Men's Group meets in the UUCB Library on the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m., with an option to join online via Zoom.

We support each other by listening to our stories. Each month we discuss an interesting topic. All are welcome: young or old, working or retired, gay or straight. Give us a try. We are a long-standing group that is always open to new members. Join our group email list.

A weekly Young Adult hangout where there's a different "Thing" every week. Work on your arts and crafts, discuss books and movies, play a game or just enjoy the company.

Recognizing the need for connection, pastoral care, and opportunities to be community, Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray and Dr. Stephanie Kimball will lead weekly gatherings for anyone who wants to check-in and just be in community. You are welcome to bring a sack lunch or snacks. 

In the words of Connie Zweig, “Aging is our next frontier - a physical, emotional, moral, cognitive and spiritual frontier. Its mysteries and its terrors need to be faced consciously and mindfully.” This class will introduce processes and tools for doing this work, examining our own lives and supporting each other as we explore the path to elderhood. Facilitated by Stephanie Kimball. Meets on Wednesdays, 2 - 4 p.m., from January 14 to April 8 (no class on March 18).

Exploring Philosophical Daoism: Lessons for Living in Reverence of Nature and Defiance of Hierarchy

A five-part introductory course for nature-lovers, tree-huggers, and authority-questioners. Daoism is an ancient egalitarian Chinese spiritual tradition that has inspired hermits, anarchists, science fiction writers, revolutionaries, primitivists, and environmentalists for thousands of years. We’ll explore the beliefs, modern practical applications, and history of this deep philosophical tradition using a mix of approachable methods, through graphic novels, clips from “accidentally Daoist” modern films and other media, poetry, environmental texts, Daoist-inspired anarchist works, and walking through excerpts of surprisingly relevant ancient Daoist texts. A laid-back and informal mix of in-depth presentations and free discussion facilitated by Zach Ammerman. People of all faith backgrounds and no faith background at all are encouraged to attend and learn more about this non-theistic philosophical tradition.

Meets in-person and via Zoom from 7 to 9 pm on Wednesdays starting February 11. Bring only a love of nature, a questioning spirit, and an openness to learn new things (and maybe a pen and paper, but not required). Course registration includes a copy of the Dao de jing and a binder of course materials. 

Over the course of 13 sessions, the Adult Our Whole Lives Program explores sexuality issues for adults of all ages using values, communication skills and spirituality as starting points.

Our Whole Lives presents sexuality as a good, creative force with enormous potential to enrich as well as to generate life. Facilitated by Abby Gitlitz and Matt Stonecipher. Meets on Wednesdays, 7-9pm: Nov. 5, 12, 19; Dec. 3, 10, 17; Jan. 7, 14, 21, 28; Feb. 4, 11, 18. Minimum 10 participants.
