Doing Hard, Wonderful, Meaningful Things Together

November 7, 2026 at 9am-3pm - Founders Hall

Offered by the UUA and facilitated by our regional representative, this interactive program will invite attendees to consider big questions when it comes to how to be in meaningful relationship within family, church, and societal communities. How do we navigate social connection in witness of the vast differences between us? What does consent look like in a society that is continually restricting who has rights? What does it mean to give a whole-hearted sacred yes to joy and wonder while maintaining boundaries and limits? The program will include small group conversation, case studies, presentation time, and activities. In this time, we will deepen together what it means to be human meaningfully as a church and beyond.

We invite all attendees to review this worksheet before Saturday morning. All attendees are encouraged to begin reading Empowered Boundaries: Speaking Truth, Setting Boundaries, and Inspiring Social Change by Cristien Storm. You do NOT need to finish the book or even start it to attend.
