"Learning for Life" with Guest Speaker: Dr. Kate Schaefers

Lake Fellowship welcomes Dr. Kate Schaefers to present a program titled: Learning for Life: Why a Growth Mindset is So Important as We Age. Kate will be joining us via Zoom.

An advantage of being in the later stages of your life/career: You no longer need to prove yourself. It’s an ideal time to cultivate a “growth mindset”: To stretch yourself, try new things, and even fail. It can be liberating to let go of the need to succeed and embrace the pure joy of learning.

The 8th Principle of Unitarian Universalism

Ten years ago, a grass roots movement started within Unitarian Universalism to adopt an 8th Principle:
“We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.”
