Embracing the Inherent WORTH and Dignity of EVERY BODY: A Practice of Compassion and Acceptance Facilitator: Alana Franklin Come engage in an intentional dialogue exploring the connection between developing a practice of self-compassion and self-acceptance of our own physical bodies and how that practice increases our capacity for compassion and acceptance of others’ physical bodies. Our dialogue will be ground by the first Unitarian Universalist Principle which asserts the inherent worth and dignity of every person and calls on us to hold ourselves and others in reverence. This interpretation of the first Unitarian Universalist principle from Rev. Dr. Rebecca Ann Parker illustrates the aspects of that principle that we will be exploring: “We believe that all the dimensions of our being carry the potential to do good. We celebrate the gifts of being human...We cherish our bodies as well as our souls. We use our gifts to offer love, to work for justice, to heal injury, and to create pleasure for ourselves and others.”

“Symbols of Soul: Nature, Story, and Dreams” Facilitator: Kathy Crabb Symbols of Soul will meet in three sessions: Nature on February 24th, Story on March 30th, Dreams on May 4th. Pioneering Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung said, “I am … a symbol of my soul” (The Red Book, p. 234, 2009). Jung perceived images and symbols as expressions of the ineffable – and relationship with charged images as essential to knowing one’s own soul. In this three-part course we’ll approach the images that tug at our psyches, explore their meaning in our lives, and discover how to live with them in soulful ways. Note: You are welcome to attend one, two, or all three sessions; however the three will build on each other so you will likely get more out of each, if you’ve attended the previous one.
