This year’s Women’s Retreat is set for September 29 and 30. The theme for 2023 is “Reclaiming Our Wholeness”.

Individually, wholeness invites us to embrace and honor all aspects of ourselves – our strengths, vulnerabilities, passions, and imperfections. Within our community, wholeness reminds us of the power of connection and inclusion. It recognizes that each of us brings our own perspectives, gifts, and experiences that enrich and help to shape our collective journey.

Each of us has arrived at UUCM from our own unique spiritual journey with our own wisdom and longings. In the blizzard of the world, how do we stay connected to what sustains and guides us?

Regardless of where each of us is on that journey, we welcome you to join us as we mindfully pause, reflect and ponder what has heart and meaning and explore ways we can continually renew and restore our spirit. With curiosity, humor, compassion and gratitude, we will explore the beauty and wholeness we can continually uncover, discover and recover as individuals which, in turn, helps to build a beloved community that honors us all.

Please join us. Fill out the online form by September 15 or return a hard copy to the UUCM office.

“When Brene Brown invites us to present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, she is reminding us that the worth and dignity of our humanity is not found in some perfect, untarnished ideal or beauty. It is in all of the pieces of color this life has given us. The journey of belonging is not about hiding them, but about what we do with then and how we share them with each other.”
