Creativity Matters • Transformation
2024-03-12 19:00 - 20:30 | UU Wausau, 504 Grant Street, Wausau, WI, 54403, United States
Living involves tearing up one rough draft after another.

March’s Creativity Matters theme is “transformation.” At this meetup, we will explore how art and creativity have transformed us and helped us transform our world.

Before the session, spend some time with our reflection questions:

How has your creativity/art changed and transformed over time? Has it become more colorful? More abstract? More playful? More dark? Are you now doing it more for others? Or doing it more for yourself?

How has the creativity of someone else transformed the way you view yourself, others, and/or the world?

Projects of the Month

We will have supplies for Project Option A, C, and D from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*

Side by Side Comparison Art

Torn Paper Collage

Transforming Emotions with Neurographic Art

Who Makes Much of a Miracle? The Rev. Suzanne Wasilczuk, preaching.

The poet Walt Whitman asks us “Why, who makes much of a miracle?” How may we, Universalists, Unitarians view that word, that phenomenon, that belief in a “miracle”?

On this Palm Sunday, the day on which the prophet Jesus rode into Jerusalem, let us consider what might be miraculous in our world.
