A new Wisdom Circle is forming and will meet on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7 pm, beginning Thursday, May 28. Rev. Justine will host the gatherings on our Hillcrest campus; the precise location will be announced soon. The group will meet in May, June, and July, take a break in August, and resume in the fall. If you’re interested, please reach out directly to Rev. Justine. About Wisdom Circles Wisdom Circles are facilitated, covenant-based, intentional small-group conversations centered on common themes connected to the exploration of spirituality and finding balance in our lives. These conversations create opportunities for faith formation, trust-building within community, and a deeper understanding of larger issues related to Unitarian Universalism and our congregation. Each group includes between six and ten participants, and participants are encouraged to attend each monthly meeting, as trust is built through intentional, regular participation. Testimonials “I have been part of a Wisdom Circle, with its many different names, for at least 15 years - pretty much when they were started ... Meeting once a month, is something I treasure, and the folk who are part of my Wisdom Circle are becoming good friends. This I like, and I feel the others do, too. We have a mutual bond, and enjoy recognizing each other in our various other meetings. We learn from each other, and have a better understanding of each other's lives ... I find my Wisdom Circle is a necessary part of my being, something to honor, and enjoy, and discuss with other people in other Wisdom Circles!” - Caroline Clark "I think the Wisdom Circles are an excellent way for members of the church to form new friendships, voice their views on important topics in a non-judgmental setting, and welcome newcomers to our church to UU principles.... I highly recommend joining a Wisdom Circle as an excellent way for new members to make friends in a little more intimate way than Social Hour on Sunday morning ... and for more settled members to enjoy an experience of focused conversation and even enlightenment. " - Betsy Stevens
