Program

Finding Balance: Growing Roots & Branching Out

April's theme is Balance. Throughout this month, we'll explore what balance is, how to achieve it, and why sometimes it's not worth seeking.

For today's program, we'll use our new vocabulary to stretch and test our definitions of and biases about balance. Lead by Marnie Karger, this program will include thought-provoking questions for discussion, and an invitation to dig deep into how balance exists in your own life.

Copies of the optional homework/worksheets are attached.

Finding Balance: Looking back

April's theme is balance. And for today's program, we'll consider how our current definitions of Unitarian Universalism balance (or don't balance) with the greater history of this religion. Lake Fellowship member Tim McGlynn will condense this complex and intricate history into an unpretentious timeline of the fundamental events that bring us to today, complete with hand drawn cartoons and colorful commentary.

The Problems, Perils and Promise of Persevering as a Species (Interstellar Edition)

It's launch time! Fellowship member Don Penn closes the March discussions around the theme of Perseverance. March 25th will focus on "the problems, perils and promise of persevering as a species (interstellar edition)". This will be the final part of a two-part directed group discussion on the challenges and issues of surviving Human Extinction. We've survived millions of years of evolution to get where we are today, but will be able to beat the clock and overcome our gentically-based tribalism and survival insticts to launch deep into the stars for the survival of our species?

The Peculiarities of Perseverance

Fellowship member Don Penn will be leading the March discussions around the theme of perseverance. March 4th will focus on "the peculiarities of Perseverance".  This will be a directed group discussion where we will define terms and lay the foundation for what is a very interesting topic that affects each of us on a very personal and mostly a subconscious level.

Intention as belief

During the month of February we investigate what it means to act as a person, and a community, of intention. The programs, led by Matthew Tift, explore the relevance of three kinds of intention for Unitarian Universalists: intention as doing (Feb. 11), intention as plans (Feb. 18), and intention as belief (Feb. 25). The categories serve as only as a guide, and we welcome intentional diversions.
