affinity Groups

UU Santa Fe sponsors a variety of Affinity Groups with the purpose of building community and facilitating social connections among our members and friends.

Our current groups include:​
  • Men's Odyssey―online
  • Neighborhood groups (various―online)
  • Crafting Circle―online
  • Shakespeare Close Reader's Group (dormant for now)
  • Sunday Lunch Bunch (dormant for now)

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”―Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Men's Odyssey

Picture
Men’s Odyssey―online
Meets weekly Tuesdays, 7 pm online. Led by Rodman Morgan.

Discussion topics vary widely but are usually issues related to men's lives: family relationships, key events in our lives, issues with mothers, sons and fathers, and many unusual topics. Meetings are low key, friendly and engaging. Open to all whether you are male by accident of biology, or a man by identity or expression. Check out Illuman.​

  • UU Santa Fe Crafting Circle
    Meets weekly Tuesday, 10 am-12 pm, online
    Please join us in coming together to explore our inner artistry and practice our crafts. Contact host Maryann Lane Porter for more information.
  • Shakespeare | Adult Crows Close Reading Group (dormant for now)
    This is not a performance group, but an informal and fluid group of adults who meet weekly to read aloud and discuss whatever Shakespeare play the Upstart Crows have in production. Many are Crow relatives but not all, and no previous Shakespeare experience is necessary! No matter if you don’t want to read aloud—come along to hear it and join the discussion. If you are interested, email Genevieve Head and let her know.
  • Sunday Lunch Bunch | Coordinated by Jim Applegate (dormant for now)
    Meets after our 10:30 am gathering for lunch at the Santa Fe Bar and Grill, DeVargas Center, 187 Paseo De Peralta, Santa Fe, NM 87501. Everyone welcome, especially UU Santa Fe newcomers.
  • ​Acoustic Musicians on Barcelona | Led by Dierk Haskin (dormant for now)
    ​Meets the second and fourth Sundays in Fogelson Hall at 6 pm. Make music and have fun! Please come prepared to present two songs. Or just come to listen! We will gather informally in a room where the acoustics are good and share our music (and probably some good conversation, too). We will provide a vocal mic and a guitar mic, and there is also a piano available. Additional sound accommodations may be available upon request. 
  • Different Drummers Drum Circle | Led by Rick Cormier
    ​Meets at Frenchy's Park every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 2 pm. Different Drummers Drum Circle (DDDC) of Santa Fe is an open, freestyle community drum circle hosted by Rick Cormier, author of the book, Freestyle Community Drum Circles
  • Art on Barcelona | Led by Virginia Asman
    Meets as needed. Help curate and mount UU Santa Fe's community art exhibits in our Foyer
If you don't see a group that you want to join, then start one!
​The Beloved Community is not an organization of individuals seeking private and selfish security for their souls. It is a new adventure, a spontaneous fellowship of consecrated people seeking a new world.―Clarence Russell Skinner, The Church of the Beloved Community (Universalist, minister, educator, theologian)
