A Poetry Service on Love: Bring your favorite poem about liberating love as we explore this month's theme through poetry.
A special multigenerational service to celebrate the many moods and meanings of the season in story and song, silence and reflection.
In Buddhism, equanimity refers to a state of mental balance and even-mindedness. It is one of the Four Brahma-viharas, which are considered the sublime abodes of the mind. Equanimity involves maintaining an inner calm and steadiness regardless of external circumstances. The service will explore the concept and practice of equanimity.
This online service offered by Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt, President of the Unitarian Universalist Association, will focus on these questions: What seeds are you planting for the new year? How are you weaving your magic into your relationships with others? How can we center beauty and goodness and love in all that's ahead?
Gratitude for the blessings in our lives is almost universally praised by people of faith. We recognize gratitude as a virtue every Sunday when we give thanks for all we have received. But in a season when so much around us is in danger of being lost, it can be hard to get to gratitude. Yet gratitude can encourage a feeling of abundance and generosity, both personal and spiritual, that allow us to deal with the challenges of our lives.
