Presentation – Exploring the Tao Te Ching and Its Relevance to Today’s World
Presentation – Exploring the Tao Te Ching and Its Relevance to Today’s World
Presented by Connie Komack The Chinese philosophy of Taoism is based on the ancient text known as the Tao Te Ching (loosely translated as The Book of the Way). Surprisingly, this ancient text has much to teach us in the modern world about how to live a life of harmony, peace, and interconnection with all beings. We’ll explore a few passages that have uncanny relevance to our lives today.

*Cancelled* Virtual Full Moon Meditation
*Cancelled* Virtual Full Moon Meditation
VIRTUAL FULL MOON MEDITATION with Natalie Johnson Wednesday, July 13 6:00 – 6:45 p.m. This Full Moon falls in the sign of Capricorn, the mythical sea goat. Capricorn is an Earth sign ruled by Saturn, the planet of limitation and tasks. Under its powerful influence, we are being called to gird ourselves against the forces of restraint and negativity and instead, summon the fortitude and resilience to push back against rules and limitation in order to advance our vision of a better world waiting to be born. Just past the celebration of our nation’s independence, we are invited to envision a new

Presentation – A Taste of Zen Meditation Practice
Presentation – A Taste of Zen Meditation Practice
Presented by Tom Tanguay For over 6 years now a dozen or so of us have been meditating and practicing together. Our practice is paying attention. Zen meditation is literally the practice of paying attention. To our life. As it is. Willingness to do such a thing is essential— necessary and perhaps sufficient. This morning we will taste two particular aspects of Zen practice; experiencing physically the reality of the present moment and taking a peek at the working of our belief systems. There will be time for questions. This service will be on Zoom only. Here's the link: https://uuma.zoom.us/j/92732350860Meeting ID: 927 3235

Virtual New Moon Meditation
Virtual New Moon Meditation
VIRTUAL NEW MOON MEDITATION with Natalie Johnson Thursday, July 28 6:00 – 6:45 p.m. This New Moon falls in the sign of Leo, that wonderful feline being who exemplifies sunlight, joy, connection and living truly from one’s heartspace. In the Wizard of Oz, the Cowardly Lion travels to the Emerald City to petition the Wizard for what he feels he is most lacking……courage. But he is mistaken. The word “courage” originates from the French word “coeur” which means “the heart”. True courage is not bravado, not power over, not bullying nor imposing one’s will on another. Instead, it comes from dropping down into one’s heart and

Searching for Well-Being in Challenging Times
Searching for Well-Being in Challenging Times
Every day brings new concerns about what is happening in our country and in the world. Many of us are feeling higher levels of distress than usual. Earlier in July, Deanne Bonnar convened a group, called a Coping Circle, to share these concerns, explore ways of managing stress, and think about how we live out our Unitarian Universalist values in these times. Participants found the meeting very helpful and decided to continue to meet. Anyone interested in joining is invited to attend.
