SUMMARY:Grains of Sand: A Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Filmed over eight years\, Grains of Sand follows two artists and close friends—the filmmaker’s mother and mother-in-law—as they navigate their ninth decade of life. Through intimate conversations\, shared memories\, and creative expression\, the film weaves together a thoughtful and uplifting intergenerational portrait of aging. \nThis documentary is deeply rooted in Unitarian Universalist values and community. Filmmaker Sarah Goss’s mother\, Margot Campbell Gross\, is a central figure in the film and served as a UU minister for many years\, including an internship at All Souls. She continues her ministry as minister emerita at the Unitarian Universalist Church of San Francisco. \nFollowing the screening\, we will engage in an intergenerational discussion designed to open meaningful dialogue about aging—creating space to share thoughts\, hopes\, and fears across generations. \nWatch the film’s trailer HERE.

SUMMARY:Adult Education: How Religions Elevate "Rules" for Survival
DESCRIPTION:Frank Ciulla will explain how certain secular rules and restrictions developed by societies were eventually elevated in certain religions. These rules became the “instructions from a god or a prophet” but their secular\, evolutionary effect was to increase the survival of both the individual and society. These rule sets can overgo “cultural selection” and certain practices and religious ideas are propagated and start to show up in multiple new religions. Join us for this discussion of the intersections of religion and secularism!

SUMMARY:Adult Education: Connecting and Healing with Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Laura will invite participants to reflect on the idea of ancestors. Who are “the ancestors”? How do they affect the lives of those of us who are still living? How can we bring healing for our families from the burdens of the ones who came before us? The talk will be informed by Laura’s work as a practitioner of ancestral lineage healing through the Ancestral Medicine Network\, an international web of ritualists who offer culturally-sensitive entry points for people who wish for connection and well-being with their ancestors. You can read more about her work at elastic-portal.space.

SUMMARY:Lectio Divina Series
DESCRIPTION:Lectio divina (“divine reading”) is a contemplative practice of reading sacred texts. The method involves four successive ways of reading: lectio (read)\, meditatio (reflect)\, oratio (respond)\, contemplatio (rest). In this five-part series (one in-person on Sunday 2/16\, and the rest on Wednesday evenings through Zoom)\, we will practice lectio divina together\, drawing on religious and secular texts across traditions and eras\, as a practice of sensitizing ourselves to the voice of the divine as it communicates off the page\, and in our daily lives. \nJOIN US on Zoom \nMeeting ID: 831 3590 4897\nPasscode: peace \nFollowing sessions: Wednesdays\, Feb. 19 & 26 March 5\, 12\, 19 at 5:45 PM on Zoom

SUMMARY:Junk Journaling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A junk journal is a personalized book made primarily from found and recycled materials. It serves as a creative way to collect and record memories\, thoughts\, ideas\, and inspiration. Think of it like a kitchen junk drawer in book form – it can contain anything from daily ephemera (like coffee cup sleeves or ticket stubs) to personal mementos. We will provide blank journals and/or tutorials on how to bind your own journal using recycled materials. Start collecting “junk” and join us to craft\, chat\, and learn more about this practice!
