We invite members and friends to join ARE’s upcoming virtual Fall Gathering and Spiritual Caucus on Saturday, October 1, from 1 pm to 3 pm ET (12pm CT/ 11AM MT/ 10AM PT). This is an opportunity to connect with other Unitarian Universalists who have been racialized as White and who seek to nourish an anti-racist community of faith. At the invitation of DRUUMM’s leadership, this event will be concurrent with
DRUUMM's Fall Caucus.
Our focus will remain on the work of Anti-Racism, but through the lens of our personal and collective spiritual journeys. We will reflect together on the question: How are we spiritually called and grounded in this work? We will begin with an opening panel featuring religious professionals in conversation around this deep question and then we will enter into breakout reflection groups organized, as much as possible, by shared religious and spiritual identities.
Tentative agenda:
-Welcome
-Opening Panel
-Break
-Reflection Groups
-Regathering
-Closing
After the programming concludes around 3pm (ET), there will be an opportunity for additional conversation and connection for those who wish to remain together in the virtual space.
