New Year's Goals Workshop Jan. 3-4   
Thursday, January 3, 5:30 - 8:30 pm
Saturday, January 5, 10 am - 4 pm


Let this first time in Tucson New Year's Goals Workshop give you what it has given hundreds of others: a personal mission statement to which participants say they constantly refer, New Year's goals flowing from your mission statement, and daily practices to help you meet those goals.

Explore integral personal development in inner, outer, personal and social areas, and on four levels: needy responder, successful conformist, reflective individualist and spiritually mature conscient.

Purpose and goals flow easily from this encompassing vista!

The workshop is dynamic and rich, with time for both serene, personal reflection and engaging group interaction. Sharing is voluntary. A detailed workbook is included. Bring your daily planners.

Family Friendly Dinner January 5

meal At the auction a dinner was sold that still has space available. Many of our families with younger children were not at the auction, which is why we are letting you know here. We will have Greek and Italian food (and kid- friendly food for sure). Childcare, if needed, will be provided by Bibiana, Ali, and Shaylor. After we eat, we will play board games and we may have karaoke. It is sure to be a fun time! If you'd like to join us, please contact Sybelle UUSybelle@gmail.com or Lara Larabuggy3@gmail.com. The price is $10 for persons over 12. Those younger eat free. This is payable to MVUU (as part of the auction fundraiser).

Liturgical Theme for January: CYCLES

"This Is the End"

Ron Phares

 

What can we do when goodbye is the only salutation left? Cycles have the unique possibility of being both infinite and terminant. They begin and end and do so forever in some cases. We will investigate the limits of our lives, of all life, of imagination and hope to come to a steady gazed understanding of the coming apocalypse, where it matters and where it is irrelevant.

"Unicycle: The Non-duality of Self-Interest"

Ron Phares

 

We will explore the how and whether of self-interest and altruism being ultimately the same thing, not dualistic. Such an understanding may well compel us to a greater engagement in issues of compassion and justice.

 

Sunday, January 20

"The Life, Death and Life of MLK Jr."

Ron Phares

 

Reincarnation, identity and justice.
