    • Chalice lighting

    • Accessible and embodied practice of grounding and stress release

    • Contemplative practice to silently name the systems of oppression and privilege that may show up in you and/or at the action

      • Commitment to following the communities impacted most by the issue

    • Small group sharing: What do you cherish most about this world? Why are you doing this? What prevents you from acting as courageously as needed?

    • Decide on a UU spiritual phrase to carry into the action 

    • Agree on an embodied practice to use during the action itself

    • Choose a “spiritual anchor” - a person who can lead the practices and remind you of the phrase

    • Receive a blessing for the group and the action

    More about the action itself - People vs. Fossil Fuels Call to Action:

    Biden promised to be a climate president – yet under his watch, the U.S. continues to be the biggest producer of oil and gas in the world. In the first few years of his term, he approved more lease sales for new oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters than Trump. And his administration has approved new oil and gas projects, like the Willow oil drilling project in Alaska and multiple oil and gas export terminals in the Gulf. Global scientists have been abundantly clear – we cannot avoid the very worst impacts of the climate crisis if we allow for any more fossil development.

    Starting this June, we’re mobilizing to turn up the heat and make Biden take real climate action – by ending the era of fossil fuels. Join us for a national week of action  June 8th - 11th 2023 to demand Biden use his executive powers to end the era of fossil fuels and declare a climate emergency!

  • Monthly Full Moon Spiritual Gathering

    June 1, 2023  5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

    Join UU Ministry for Earth each month so we may all find time to ground, recenter, and imagine what is possible in a world in need of repair.  There are readings, a short reflection, time for individual contemplation, and sharing in small groups. Together, we nourish our spirits for the work of environmental justice. To draw us more closely into alignment with Earth-based philosophies, we follow the Lunar Calendar and gather, via Zoom, on (or near) the Full Moon.

  • GA On Demand Workshop: Ecology as Scripture

    June 21, 2023  7:00 am - 8:00 am
    https://whova.com/embedded/event/VhcX5nroBwH70VFj29UEeVacPgAulecJuekI5rWaXWc%3D/?refer=undefined&day=0

    To facilitate a shift in hearts & minds, sacred activists must bring together science and spiritual tenets to organize our choices and actions. This workshop is an exploration of climate change and how connecting the climate crisis to religious beliefs, teachings, and practices can inspire local and global actions. We encourage you to watch with a small group (pairs, trios, or more!) so you can discuss the activities during the recording. Rev. Dr. Leonisa Ardizzone.
