    22/07/2018 Duração: 16min

    "Don't Know Mind" sometimes called beginners mind functions in many ways. The secret is to be skillful in your understanding, and to make it work for you as a tool of discovery rather than as an excuse. We'll get up close and personal with don't know mind.

  • On This Rock - Audio

    15/07/2018 Duração: 16min

  • Loud and Proud - Audio

    08/07/2018 Duração: 17min

    Most religions and ethical systems speak of the virtues of humility. Is there a place for healthy pride? Is pride the opposite of humility? Where do the two meet?

  • We, the People - Audio

    01/07/2018 Duração: 18min

    What does patriotism look like in 2018? Hand over the heart? Taking a knee? How do we express a love for country along with our commitment to resisting the most destructive forces within it?

  • No Justice, No Peace! - Audio

    17/06/2018 Duração: 23min

    We are used to hearing this chant of protest-- as a demand for justice. Pursuit of justice is a core UU Principle, and yet we've also heard since childhood that "no one said life is fair." When such injustice hits closer to home-like say, a diagnosis of cancer, how do we find peace when there seems to be no justice? UCLA oncology chaplain, Michael Eselun, will explore this territory.

  • The Way We Talk - Audio

    10/06/2018 Duração: 15min

    The ways in which we speak can inspire a range of responses. How do we become aware--and intentional--about how we speak in a climate that has wildly inconsistent standards about communication that is proper, respectful, and effective.

  • Don't Be Afraid of Some Change - Audio

    03/06/2018 Duração: 08min

    We will sing together, honor our awesome RE teachers and assistants, celebrate our community in preparation for the Annual Meeting, and look out toward the future...enter, rejoice, and come in!

  • Pointing at the Moon - Audio

    27/05/2018 Duração: 16min

    Sometimes it is hard not to view religion as a negative influence on individuals and communities, with the histories and present-day realities of religious strife and violence and intolerance. Our Universalist heritage calls us to seek the underlying commonalities in teachings of justice and compassion, and to appreciate the harmonies of many different religious and ethical voices.

  • Training Ground - Audio

    20/05/2018 Duração: 15min

    Is membership in this congregation, in itself, a spiritual practice? If so, what does it entail?

  • Practice Is Perfect - Audio

    06/05/2018 Duração: 18min

    Practice justice (from our Mission). Practice patience, compassion, and empathy (from our Covenant). We are a practicing people

  • Green Chalice: Earth Day - Audio

    22/04/2018 Duração: 19min

    "Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit." This chant reminds us that we are people of the earth, and that our fire of commitment comes through the connections we have to nature. Come explore Hildegard of Bingen’s “Viriditas”. Each of us is a vessel, a chalice. Come nurture the flame within that expresses itself through us as a lived commitment to the UU Seventh Principle.

  • April Is the Cruelest Month - Audio

    15/04/2018 Duração: 18min

    "To what purpose, April, do you return again?" asked poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. "Beauty is not enough." And, indeed, it is not enough when one faces depression or despair. How can we respond, within our own lives and to others?

  • It's Not the Heat; It's the Humility - Audio

    08/04/2018 Duração: 17min

    Humility has always been considered a spiritual virtue, yet one cannot find it mentioned anywhere in our principles or mission or covenant. What does humility mean? What gifts might it bring to our culture at large?

  • Counting the Costs - Audio

    25/03/2018 Duração: 16min

    We live in a society that is obsessed about the prices of everything, but has a harder time calculating what things actually cost. What is the price of generosity? What is the cost of not being generous?

  • Money Talks - Audio

    18/03/2018 Duração: 18min

    We have heard that money talks, but what exactly is it saying? If we listen closely--in our own lives; in our culture; in the wider world--what do we hear?

  • Our Pledge to Each Other - Audio

    11/03/2018 Duração: 19min

    We all support this church and sustain it with our gifts, but how do we decide how much to give?

  • My Pledge to You - Audio

    04/03/2018 Duração: 17min

    We often talk about a pledge to the church or the congregation as if it were separate from us; an organization out there that we support. But our pledges are really promises to one another: all we who gather, along with those who came before us, and those who have yet to join us. My pledge is a pledge to you.

  • Spectator Spirituality - Audio

    19/02/2018 Duração: 17min

    It is all too easy for me to sometimes treat spirituality as a spectator sport; to learn about it rather than to nurture it within my own life.

  • Puzzle Pals - Audio

    04/02/2018 Duração: 14min

    Puzzle Pals launches today and it strikes me that it just may provide some helpful insights into how we work as a congregation every day of the year.
