Heart and Soul Circles for Contemplation and Connection with Doug Taylor on Zoom
Wednesdays, July 29 and August 5, 12
9:00 – 10:30 a.m.

“Heart and Soul Circle for Contemplation and Connection” originated and authored by Rev. Jane Blackall, Minister, Kensington Unitarians, UK and drawing from Wikstrom’s “Simply Pray” and other spiritual resources. All gatherings are held via Zoom and you will need to contact Doug Taylor ahead of time to register as gatherings are usually limited to 12. Doug will then provide you materials for the gathering and the Zoom login information.

As described by Rev. Jane Blackall:
“Heart and Soul is a contemplative spiritual gathering in which you can take time to reflect on life in the company of others. Each session follows a regular pattern, including readings and music from a wide range of sources, and an extended time for guided prayers of gratitude, self-reflection, silent meditation, and compassion for others. Each gathering offers opportunities for deep sharing on life’s joys and sorrows through which we can get to know others at a deeper level. Heart and Soul was developed and is led by Unitarians and while many of the regular participants are also Unitarian these gatherings are welcoming to all people of goodwill regardless of their religious outlook. We typically use a mix of words which work for both people who do value God-language and for those who don’t so we ask everyone to be generous in their listening and do whatever internal ‘translating’ you find necessary.
We are keen to spread the word about Heart and Soul gatherings to anyone who might benefit from participating – particularly in these challenging times of social distancing and increased isolation – so we would appreciate it if you would share this information with friends and encourage them to sign up too.”

Members can access Doug Taylor’s contact information via the online membership directory, or members or friends can email Admin@TahomaUU.com for the information.

The Social Justice Committee meets monthly on the first Wednesday evening of the month. To join the meeting on Zoom, email SJCTahoma.UU@gmail.com and request the meeting information.

Fun Discussion!
Wednesday, August 5, 2020, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Let us head to a galaxy a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and open some doors in a discussion about what we can learn from the Star Wars Universe in how we live into the world now. This one-time two-hour chat on Zoom only requires that you’ve watched the Star Wars movies, and have a willingness to join in the chat with an eye to having fun and learning from each other.

Discussion facilitated by Erien Babcock, Ministerial Intern. Email Erien at Ministerial.Intern@TahomaUU.com for Zoom login information, or with any questions.
