The experience of Being by opening to life’s gifts and being part of something greater than ourselves.

WORSHIP • GATHERINGS TO INPIRE YOU

At UU Santa Fe, worship is an experience we create together―not in adoration of a god―but rather 'shaping things of worth'―a celebration of awe, wonder and the sacred.

Being  | Guiding Questions

• What is the eternal artistry of which we are a part?
• How would we be if we remembered this?
• How would it be if we lived this?

​Many faiths ask "What do you believe in?" Unitarian Universalists ask, "How shall I live my life?"

Come with open heart. Come with an open mind. Come with eyes and arms wide open. Come and bring all of your gifts and all of your history. Come discover your wholeness. Come engage the world. Come and together we will bless the world.​―Rev. Gail Marriner

Welcome!
Welcome to UU Santa Fe, we’ve been watching for you! Seriously. We are an open-minded, open-hearted spiritual community seeking to bend the world toward justice, sustainability and love and we are always looking for friends and allies to join us on our adventure.

​We gather on Sunday mornings for many reasons:

• We gather to celebrate the gift of being alive.
• We gather to reconnect with old friends and to make new ones.
• We gather to reflect on the events of the day, to consider our values and sift the teachings of the world’s wisdom traditions for guidance and inspiration.
• We gather to support each other as together we help bend the moral arc of the universe toward justice, wholeness and love.

​If your heart yearns for a community where your unique identity will be welcomed and celebrated―we have opportunities for you to connect and belong. 

If your mind is hungry for insight and thoughtful conversations about big questions―we have groups where you can debate and discover and dig deep into the challenges of being alive.

If your hands itch to help in some practical way―to pack lunches, plant trees, lobby legislators―but it feels overwhelming to try to change the world all by yourself―join us and together our efforts will be magnified.

If your spirit craves silence and music and poetry and thoughtful engagement with big questions and perennial themes―come worship with us and together we will transform each other and the world.

​To breathe deeply is a religious act; for in breathing, our individual spirit partakes of the Infinite Spirit.―​Tom Owen-Towle, Theology Ablaze (2011) p. 58 (Unitarian Universalist, minister)
