Beyond the Shadows: Illuminating True Interdependence
2026-06-21 10:30 (America/New_York) | West Room and Zoom
Rev. Lee Anne Wasthingon
There’s a delicate balance between individual agency and our Seventh UU Principle: the interdependent web of existence. In celebrating Summer Solstice, we step out of the shadows of two persistent errors—a toxic empathy that minimizes human capability by viewing people as perpetual victims, and a rigid self-sufficiency that refuses the support of others.
Drawing on several wisdom traditions, we will examine how the best community caretaking promotes a healthy interdependence, through personal resourcefulness, rather than permanent dependency.

What We Tend Becomes Precious

Rev. Lee Anne Wasthingon
A garden teaches us that beauty cannot be rushed, love cannot be forced, and growth asks for patience, attention, and trust. This Flower Communion Sunday, with wisdom from The Little Prince and from those who know the holy work of tending living things, we will reflect on how what we care for changes us — and how beloved community becomes precious through the time and tenderness we give to one another.

Everyone is invited to bring a flower for our shared bouquet and food to share at coffee hour. There will be extras of both if you forget.

Art, Mind, Wonder

Not a ‘Deep Dive’, but more like wading into a stream . . . of consciousness. This service is designed as a follow-on to Peggy Fallon’s service about the brain’s participation in placebo power. Delving into the book “Your Brain on Art”, by Magsamen and Ross, discloses many ways the arts affect the functioning of the brain. We will touch on some of these through experiences to encourage congregants to dive deeper into the power of the unconscious. No sermon here – only experiences to activate Your Brain on Art.

This service will not be available to view on our normal youtube live stream. If you cannot join in person, please use the below zoom link to join the service online.
