We’re both a support group (needed in these times!) and an envisioning team: how would we like our world to be?
We’ll start by finishing our discussion of Becky Margiotta’s book, Impact with Integrity. But as usual, if you don’t have the book or haven’t read some of it, no worries—it’s just a launching point for our wide-ranging discussions.
We’re thinking about a book on homelessness to tackle after this, or bring your own ideas! Questions? Contact Doug Stewart at dougestewart@gmail.com.

Join us for these Wednesday lunchtime meditation classes which offer practical and uplifting explanations of how to transform our day-to-day lives – including even the most demanding and difficult situations – into opportunities for personal and spiritual development. Ancient meditative techniques that have been tried and tested for centuries will be brought alive and made relevant to our everyday experiences based on the book How to Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

From our Pacific Western Region: Coming this spring, the Pacific Western Region Regional Assembly will gather under the theme Rising Resilient.
In times like these, what does it mean to be a spiritually resilient Unitarian Universalist? As authoritarianism and dehumanization rise, we are called to lean into our UU values more deeply than ever—not only to protect those who are targeted, but also to safeguard our own grounding, interconnectedness, and spiritual vitality.
RA 2026 will feature inspiring speakers, engaging workshops, music, worship, and interactive experiences designed to help us meet this moment with beauty, courage, and life-affirming power.
Registration will open in January 2026, and a call for workshop proposals will also open at that time.
