Earth Centered Spirituality Circle

Merry Meet!

Picture
​The Earth Centered Spirituality Circle (ECSC) welcomes you to nurture your spiritual growth and explore your relationship with the rhythms of the natural world within a circle of like-minded folks. Here, you will find people who celebrate many different pagan paths coming together in eclectic worship, deep conversation, and joyful revelry. Whether you have been practicing for years, or are newly curious - all are welcome! 

The mission of the Earth Centered Spirituality Circle is in direct alignment with First Unitarian Universalist Church's goals of "Creating community, nurturing spiritual growth, and acting on our values to help heal the world." The ECSC provides a safe place for individuals and families of all structures to explore Pagan and Earth-Centered spiritual paths. We honor in ritual the Eight Sabbats of the Wheel of the Year, lead periodic Religious Education Classes, and participate in outreach to the wider community to those seeking a spiritual home in which their beliefs are honored and affirmed.

Pagan Conversations 

Picture
Pagan Conversations provides a twice-monthly opportunity to meet and chat with the community of UU pagans at First UU. Explore more deeply First UU's monthly worship themes as well as other current or relevant topics. Join in community as we share our spiritual practices, observations and pathways. Childcare is available. All are welcome. 
When: Every Sunday, 1-2 pm

Where: Virtually on Zoom at https://bit.ly/PaganConversations

Holiday Rituals

Earth Centered Spirituality Circle at First UU Church
The ECSC marks the wheel of the year by holding rituals on eight Sabbats that celebrate solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days. Most of our rituals are preceded by a children's circle, and concluded with a potluck feast (when we meet in person). All rituals will be held virtually until further notice.  Please join our facebook group, or email us to be added to the email list to get updates!
  • Imbolc (first planting) - February
  • Ostara (spring equinox) - March
  • Beltane (May day) - May
  • Litha (summer solstice) - June
  • Lammas (first harvest) - August
  • Mabon (autumn equinox) - September
  • Samhain (final harvest) - November
  • Yule (winter solstice) - December
With the exception of Yule, there is no set cost to attend ritual - but donations are gratefully received.
