Merry Meet!
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.

The Earth Centered Spirituality Circle is delighted to present this year's Yule Ritual, a celebration of winter solstice. Yule is a magickal time when we come together to honor the dark half of the year and to celebrate the promise of light. Using song, dance, firelight, drumming, spoken word, and community ritual, our church community will honor this ancient pagan holiday and carry on a long-standing tradition at First UU. Come join us in community to honor all that winter holds and to dance in the return of the sun! This is a celebration for all ages, and festive ritual garb is welcomed! All in attendance must have a ticket, as we often reach capacity for this event.
