The Adult Spiritual Development (ASD) Committee offers programs that deepen and broaden the spiritual life of our congregation. We look for offerings that engage the heart, stimulate the mind, and make space for members to share their talents and wisdom, all while strengthening the bonds of our Unitarian Universalist community. Across the year, our programs include classes on UU theology and history, book and discussion series, contemplative and earth-honoring practices, and conversations with guest speakers. Programs meet in person, indoors and out, and on Zoom.

Programs

Introduction to Unitarian Universalist Theology. Rev. Hannah offers an introduction to UU theology for visitors, friends, and members. It is one of four offerings in our Newcomers Series on the Path to Membership, though you do not need to be planning to join to attend. All are welcome.

Earth-Honoring and Pagan Traditions. We celebrate and reflect on the changing seasons through labyrinth walks, poetry, music, and other rituals, typically gathering around the solstices, equinoxes, and other significant days. Open to everyone, from all spiritual and humanist paths. Email dsd@usguu.org to get involved.

Feminist Thealogy. Explores spirituality and the divine through a feminist lens, with programs offered roughly once a month on Sundays after the service, from September or October through June.

Looking for a group to join?

Many of our ongoing communities gather on their own rhythm throughout the year, from book groups and the Men’s Group to BLUU Haven Philly, GenXYZ, and Small Group Ministry. You will find them all on our Groups page.
