The Unitarian Universalist Men's Fellowship (UUMF) is an affiliated organization of The First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego. The goal of this fellowship is to assist men in their quest to discover who they are as men, sons, fathers, grandfathers, husbands, partners, and brothers. Our mission is to support men in the quest for lives of compassion, integrity, responsibility, and balance. We are a caring, intentionally diverse brotherhood, committed to social justice, and offering opportunities for intimate sharing, personal growth, and spiritual deepening.
2022 Fall Men's Fellowship Renewal
The 2022 UU Men’s Renewal will be held October 21-23 at Camp Stevens near Julian California.
All men are invited to join us for an Autumn weekend in our nearby back country for relaxing and revitalizing with plenty of time for renewing friendships, music and song, thoughtful discussions, fellowship, and rituals. The theme is Navigation Change, Self Care in uncertain times. All attendees must be fully vaccinated for Covid 19 and must self-test just prior to planned departure to camp. Please view and download the Registration/Flyer. For more information contact Mike Dorfi, 619-887-1748

Programs
Fourth Monday Discussion
On the fourth Monday of the month, interested men meet in at the Hillcrest Campus in Room 114 (usually) from 7-9pm to discuss a wide variety of topics dealing with men’s issues. An optional pot-luck dinner is available at 6pm to meet and greet. Most meetings begin with a check-in. These discussions and events/topics are announced via our website and email to UUMF participants.
Support Groups
The Men's Fellowship currently has a dozen closed committed active support groups. They usually meet twice a month at members’ homes. The groups range in size from five to eight men. If, after becoming familiar with the Fellowship, you would like to consider membership in a group, please contact Armin Kuhlman 619-915-5214, support group coordinator. These are not crisis groups and require a significant time commitment.
Renewals
The crown jewels of the Fellowship are the Annual UUMF Spring Renewal held at Camp de Benneville Pines in Angelus Oaks, California in April and the Fall Men’s Renewal held at Camp Stevens in Julian, California in September. The 2022 UUMF Fall Renewal is scheduled for October 21 - 23 at Camp Stevens.
