What is often lacking is not creativity in the idea-creating sense, but innovation in the action, putting ideas into work sense. We will explore the concept of how creativity can move into action.

The role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, now nearly 50 years old, shows no signs of waning in popularity. Today we’ll explore the power and beauty of this wonderful art, in which players express their inner elves, warriors, wizards, druids, and goblins as, through rolls of many-sided dice, they live out the fates and dramas presented by the Dungeon Master. D&D, we’ll find, teaches UU Principles in powerful and fun ways, grounding players in rich senses of self–even as they launch themselves into flights of fantasy.

What is resistance to change? Resistance to change is unwillingness to adopt new circumstances or ways of doing things. It can happen with individuals, relationships, or within organizations. There are many reasons for resistance,
but at the heart it is rooted in fear.

Is there something within us that longs to be reborn––something that deserves new life? Thomas Merton wrote, “We seek to awaken in ourselves a force which really changes our lives from within…to be born again is not to become somebody else, but to become ourselves.”

Political Scientists find that the US is more polarized than it has been at any time since the Civil War. We need national healing. It is up to us to join together and work to subvert the culture of contempt. Just as a fire requires oxygen, the culture of contempt is sustained by polarization and separation. I invite you to join us as we unpack how to resist the culture of contempt.

Consumption is the process of consuming goods. You buy a loaf of bread to consume/eat it. But what about when you are buying things that you don’t really need for the sake of buying. How can we honor our planet and at the same time resist the drive to consume.

UU’s core values of empowering people and caring for one another are exemplified by our comprehensive sex education program, OWL (Our Whole Lives). We are increasingly confronted with conservative forces in this country who promote traditional gender norms, limited reproductive choices, and unscientific, fear-based, abstinence-only sex education. We believe that our children and our community deserve better and we are committed to providing the education to make informed decisions about their bodies and their relationships.

The path of vulnerability more than anything, is about choice: How can we muster inner strength to understand, face, and transform our fears so we can have the aliveness and authenticity that come from the willingness to share our truth? My invitation to all of you is to come and take a leap with us as we explore vulnerability.
