SUMMARY:Creativity Matters
DESCRIPTION:Embracing Possibility\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril’s Creativity Matters theme is Embracing Possibility\, and we’ll be exploring it through the imaginative world of Surrealism. Rather than sampling many artistic styles\, we’ll dive into this single movement\, which sought to unlock the possibilities of the unconscious and challenge the limits of rational thinking and “reality.” As you experiment with different Surrealist techniques\, you’ll be invited not only to create\, but also to reflect on where you may feel stuck\, the assumptions you carry\, and the new possibilities that might be waiting just beneath the surface. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProject Options\n\n\n\nWe will have supplies for Project Options A\, D\, and E from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*: \n\n\n\n\nJuxtaposition Collages: Combine unexpected elements in a surrealist collage to challenge familiar assumptions and imagine a world full of new possibilities.\n\n\n\nAutomatic Drawing: Let go of conscious control and draw freely\, allowing your subconscious to guide the creative process.\n\n\n\nPossibilities of Dreams: Use the medium of your choice to bring your dreams to life\, exploring the hidden possibilities and truths they reveal.\n\n\n\n\nDon’t have a copy of this month’s Creativity Matters guide? Sign up to be part of the mailing list or reach out to our Director of Religious Education for a copy! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is Creativity Matters?\n\n\n\nCreativity Matters is a drop-in small group for teens and adults to slow down\, connect\, and explore monthly spiritual themes together through art and imagination. \n\n\n\nIt’s less about skill and more about play\, allowing intuition\, reflection\, and creativity to guide us. Think of it as a gentle space where your right brain gets to dance with your left. \n\n\n\nEach gathering offers time for sharing\, creating\, and simply being together. No experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and a playful spirit.

SUMMARY:Saturday Art Hangout
DESCRIPTION:Spring brings a season of growth\, abundance\, and wild energy. This community art gathering offers space to explore imagination\, passion\, and the vibrant rhythms of the season through open-ended creative practice. No art experience is needed\, and all materials are provided. \n\n\n\nChoose a project that calls to you or bring your own: \n\n\n\n\nNature Masks: Create a mask inspired by the living world. Use color\, texture\, and natural items to explore identity\, transformation\, and the wild spirit of the season.\n\n\n\nWild Collage: Gather images\, textures\, and materials that catch your attention and follow your instincts. Tear\, cut\, and arrange them freely\, following intuition rather than a plan. Let unexpected combinations and discoveries guide your composition as it grows.\n\n\n\nAccidental Art: Embrace the unpredictable. Drip\, splatter\, smear\, and let materials move on their own. Respond to what happens on the page rather than controlling it. “Mistakes” become part of the work\, opening space for surprise\, play\, and emerging creative directions.\n\n\n\n\nOur Saturday Art Gatherings welcome artists\, crafters\, and creative beginners alike\, and are open to adults and teens. We provide examples\, gentle guidance\, and a variety of supplies to spark your process. Participants are also welcome to bring materials from home to use or share at our community resource table! \n\n\n\nSuggested Items to Bring: \n\n\n\n\nNatural items: leaves\, petals\, small sticks\, seeds\, feathers\n\n\n\nFabric scraps\, ribbons\, yarn\, lace\n\n\n\nInteresting textures: foil\, bubble wrap\, mesh\n\n\n\nStamps\, stickers\, or stencils

SUMMARY:Practices for a Lived UU Life
DESCRIPTION:Wisdom\, fundamentally\, is knowing who you are\, where you are\, and what you’re trying to do or be. – by Gordon B McKeeman \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiving our Unitarian Universalist values can be challenging in a world that constantly pulls us in many directions. Often\, we haven’t had the chance to fully articulate our faith or explore how it shapes our daily lives. This Adult RE series offers hands-on sessions to bridge that gap\, giving participants practical tools to bring UU values into everyday life. \n\n\n\nThrough guided exercises\, participants will explore ways to share who they are and what Unitarian Universalism means to them\, bring intention and meaning into daily routines\, and create space for rest\, renewal\, and hope. Each session provides opportunities for reflection\, small group discussion\, and gentle practice to help these ideas take root in real life. \n\n\n\nThemes: \n\n\n\n\nFebruary: Elevator Speeches – Articulate your personal story and UU values with clarity.\n\n\n\nMarch: Rituals for Everyday Life – Introduce intention and meaning into daily routines.\n\n\n\nApril: Sabbath & Rest – Develop practices that support balance and renewal.\n\n\n\nMay: Cultivating Spiritual Inspiration – Deepen spiritual reflection and sustained engagement.\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll meet on the last Wednesday of each month\, 6:30–8:00 pm\, February–May\, and each session is standalone; drop-ins are welcome.
