6-week series – drop-ins welcome
Explore cutting-edge research on depression and spirituality and visit grace as serendipity and as a “touch” of the Over-Soul. We will seek a personal understanding of Universal Love by exploring essays by scientists and academics who share their mystical experiences and contact with a Higher Source, and we will experiment with establishing an incipient sensitivity to Universal Love through meditation on Love as world service. Required book, available in paperback or Kindle: Spiritual Awakenings: Scientists and Academics Describe Their Experiences.

March 1, 8, 22, & 29 | In Person
The Enneagram is a tool that can be used to connect deeply with others and ourselves, developing an understanding of the nine ways of seeing the world and interpreting reality. As we explore our shadow sides, we can become consciously aware of our patterns of behavior and perhaps choose differently out of a place of wholeness. The Narrative Enneagram incorporates psychology, spirituality, and somatics. As preparation for joining the class, here is a link to an Enneagram typing test that costs $10: www.narrativeenneagram.org/enneagram-test/.

Maqrch 22 – April 26 | In person

Join SACReD, a new, national interfaith initiative created through a unique collaboration of individuals and organizations which has an overall goal of cultural and political transformation. Since the late 1960s All Souls has had an active group of courageous women and men who planned, advocated, protested, and WORKED for Reproductive Justice. Their actions gave rise to Oklahoma Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, Roe Fund Oklahoma, Tulsa Women’s Clinic, and the Roe v Wade ruling in 1972. The rights they fought for fell in the Summer of 2022 with the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. Today’s All Souls for Reproductive Justice (ASRJ) Team is active again to right this wrong. Join us for this 6-week series which will guide participants to:

1. Create and hold space for courageous conversations free from shame, judgement, and stigma
2. Engage faith, spirituality, and theology through the Reproductive Justice framework to develop a compassionate approach to reproductive decision-making
3. Apply the Reproductive Justice framework to historical and current events
4. Promote the values and work of SACReD throughout the congregation and broader community following the energy and interest of the congregation.

Most Unitarian Universalists can easily say what they don’t believe, but how many can clearly state what they do believe? Many people who have found the UU faith have come from other faith traditions, or from none at all. In this series we will begin an exploration of individual beliefs and the “big questions” seeking a deepening and expanding understanding of ourselves and our world.
