Central East Region Summer Institute is a one-week Unitarian Universalist retreat and family camp. It is a vacation week to grow, relax, play, and connect.

Summer Institute is an intentional intergenerational community that gets created and re-created each summer as we come together to live fully as Unitarian Universalists. It is a time to experience workshops and new ideas. It is a place for relaxed conversations with old friends and friends you do not yet know. It is a time to recharge and live fully.

Musings on the CERSI Heart Fund

Here we find ourselves firmly into Fall. We are storing our warm weather things, tucking our gardens in for the winter, and choosing treats for trick or treaters. These Fall months are like climbing to the top of the slide on Halloween, then rushing down through Thanksgiving, Christmas, Yule, and other harvest holidays and in seconds, emerging suddenly in January....

What Is PEEK!? – A CERSI Classic!

No, this is not peek-a-boo. This is a CERSI tradition. An all ages game for the masses played on Thursday after vespers. It helps if a participant can roll 2 dice and recognize the number thrown. Part of the fun is everyone goes home with a prize. Where do the prizes come from? We encourage you to bring something family friendly, in a reusable bag, (like a shopping bag) No need to purchase anything, both the prize and the bag can be from around your house. ...
