Delighting in Movement

September 29, 2024 - 9:15 and 11:00 am Emily Layfield, Rev. Kathryn Bert

We are exploring love as it relates to those things which delight us. Dance, movement, pantomime, and the ways we move our bodies are a constant source of delight. Why is this so? How can we take advantage of this biological fact?

You may think of dessert, but I’m thinking of my trip to Romania to attend the 4th Convocation of Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist Women… I hope to share photos, stories, and a little about Unitarian Universalism around the world.

The Unsung Journey

August 25, 2024 - 10:30 am Allison King, Emily Layfield

Last summer, we explored the “unsung hymnal,” those hymns in our hymnal that we tend to ignore for one reason or another.

As I prepare to travel to attend the 4th International Convocation of Unitarian Universalist Women in Kolozsvár, Romania, I’ve been thinking about our European roots, especially the region known as Transylvania.
