As we move through these last few days before registration closes, we’ve been sitting with this year’s theme:

“Be Where Our Feet Are.”

As a word person, I love the elegance of this phrase, the simplicity, and… well, we all know what gets in the way! So much pulls us toward what’s next, what’s wrong, what we need to improve, what’s still ahead.

This gathering is an invitation to pause and arrive in our moment – the one we are actually living. And to do that in community – all of our moments together may just make for something pretty impactful!

If that feels like something you need, we would love to have you join us.

Registration is open through April 1:

A gentle reminder that registration for our spring UUWomenspirit gathering will close on April 1.

If this gathering has been on your mind, there is still time to join us.

This year’s theme, “Be Where Our Feet Are,” invites us to slow down and arrive in the present moment -- together with a dynamic group of women to witness and support.

We would love to welcome you.

There is a quiet courage in holding still.

In feeling the ground beneath us.

In noticing the season we are actually in -- not the one we wish we were in, not the one we are bracing for (or against).

“Be Where Our Feet Are” is the theme for our spring event. If we sit with it for a moment, we might see the invitation that lies within the beautiful simplicity of these words.

What might shift if we trusted that this moment -- this age, this body, this friendship, this uncertainty -- is worthy of our full attention?

We don’t have to leap ahead to the next milestone. We don’t have to rehearse what’s coming (even if tempted!)

We can stand here, together.

And see what grows from the ground we are already on.

If this theme speaks to you, we would love to have you join us this spring. Click here to learn more -- registration is open: https://www.uuwomenspirit.org/
