Building the World We Dream About

Sat. Jan. 30, 10 am - 2 pm 

1475 West Front Street, Lincroft 

 Unitarian Meetinghouse

This workshop is open to all. 

As part of the congregation’s intentional 30 Days of Love (Jan. 16 - Feb. 14) concentrating on racial justice, Rev. Virginia and Craig Rubano will co-moderate three Saturday workshops drawn from Building the World We Dream About, a Unitarian Universalist program that seeks to interrupt the workings of racism and transform how people from different racial/ethnic groups understand and relate to one another. The program creates opportunities for participants to practice dreaming our world otherwise, and then commit to new, intentional ways of being.

Please RSVP to mini...@uucmc.org if you are coming, and in particular, if you need childcare asap.

Saturday, January 30th, 10 am - 2 pm
Telling Our Story: You Are How You’ve Lived

When have you felt as though you mattered? When have you felt like an outsider? Our gifts and our scars affect the way each of us tells our story. How do these stories prevent us from being able to enter into the stories of others? How can we better imagine ourselves as other than we are?
