Legendary Labor organizer comes to life in story and song in this one-woman performance―with one foot in the folk tradition of storytelling and acoustic guitars, and the other in the true American art of musical theater.

Narrative Community Conversations

First and third Mondays
6-8 pm―grab a brew and come talk!
Picture
*NEW* Santa Fe is blessed with many spiritual and movement practices that we make no attempt to duplicate when they are so readily available in the wider community―here is one such―​community conversations.
  • Off-Campus  | Violet Crown Theater, ​1606 Alcaldesa St, Santa Fe, NM 87501 in the Railyard. 
  • Led by Benjamin Tercero, Co-Founder & Vision Director of Narrative Church​
  • Interfaith Leadership Alliance Member​
​
​
Communal conversations for everyone willing to honor others as they are. Fearless conversation in a safe space. Current events and vital topics discussion. There is much here for UUs to love―you will likely find a very familiar and youthful atmosphere at Narrative Conversations. To find meaning you must make meaning.

From Age-ing to Sage-ing

Picture
​“Elders serve as conduits between the divine realm and the mundane world, making the abstract truths of spirituality accessible to the community by embodying them in their everyday behavior.” 
―Zalman Schachter-Shalomi
From Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Revolutionary Approach to Growing Older 
Dates 3 Sunday Sessions, October 28 and November 11, 25, 6 pm
Location in the UU Santa Fe Library

Facilitated by Cindy DuBois
Sponsored by Adult Lifelong Learning Team
Book 
From Age-ing to Sage-ing: A Revolutionary Approach to Growing Older by 
Zalman Schachter-Shalomi
Registration not necessary
"In this inspiring and informative guide, Reb Zalman shares his wisdom and experience with readers. He shows readers how to create an aging process for themselves that is full of adventure, passion, mystery, and fulfillment, rather than anxiety. Using scientific research―both neurological and psychological―Reb Zalman offers techniques that will expand horizons beyond the narrow view of "the present" into a grand and enduring eternity. By harnessing the power of the spirit, as well as explaining exactly how to become a sage in their own community, he gives readers a helpful and moving way to use their own experiences to nurture, heal, and perhaps even save a younger generation from the prison of how we typically regard aging."―Goodreads
 
You may come to any or all sessions! These four sessions may lead to the creation of an on-going age-ing and sage-ing Wisdom Circle.

Part of Refresh!  An evening of Potluck • Family Activities • Music • Adult Small Group Discussion • Beginning at 5 pm

The Tao of Mary Oliver

​Wherever I am, the world comes after me.
It offers me its busyness. It does not believe
that I do not want it. Now I understand
why the old poets of China went so far and high
into the mountains, then crept into the pale mist.
―Mary Oliver, Why I Wake Early
It is very likely that this offering will turn into a group, restart and continue into 2019!
​The Tao of Mary Oliver
Dates One of three Saturday sessions remaining, November 10, 10-11:30 am
Location in the UU Santa Fe Library
Facilitated by Maj-Britt Eagle
Sponsored by Adult Lifelong Learning Team
Registration appreciated but not required, click here
Some of us already love particular poems of Mary Oliver. Perhaps you too have noticed her way of being with the natural world―which seems to act upon her, rather she upon it.  Some might recognize Tao in this, or, "Wu-wei", the art of following the flow, of acting without acting. While there's no text to guide us, bring a selection of Mary Oliver poems you'd like to share, some readings or insights into Taoism, and let's build "the Tao of Mary Oliver" together.  If neither is handy, only bring your love for wandering around outside. You may come to any or all sessions!

Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal and Delight in our Busy Lives
This three-session workshop is designed to explore the book Sabbath by Wayne Muller and spark a discussion of the concepts and practices of creating Sabbath time as a means to enrich our lives. In today’s world, there is an emphasis on productivity, success, overextension, and consumption. In the past, the tradition of Sabbath created an oasis of creating a time of rest and renewal. This workshop will explore ways to create a needed respite whether it be for a day, an hour or Sabbath moments. Let’s explore ways to refresh our bodies and minds, restore our creativity, and regain our birthright of inner happiness. Please join us in what promises to be a fruitful discussion.​
  • Dates 3 Sessions Wednesdays, May 16, 23 and 30, 1:15 – 2:45 PM in the UUSF Library
  • Facilitated by Maryann Lane Porter & Irina Sels
