First Parish Unitarian UniversalistAffinity Groups
Meditation Group
For anyone interested in forming a meditation group, to find brief respite from daily stressors, and/or as part of a spiritual journey. The group will decide meeting time, whether the meditation will be guided or unguided, and whether there will be a period of reading or discussion before meditation. Inexperienced meditators welcome. Contact Melanie H. for more information
Drumming Circle
All are welcome who would be interested in joining together for a time of renewal, contemplation, and the joy of drumming together. No musical knowledge needed, and there are usually a couple of extra drums if you wish to try it out before getting one of your own. Contact Debbie R. for more information.
Dog Play Group
Non-scientific studies show that dog lovers are smarter, kinder, and better-looking than average: at least our dogs think so. Let's get together with our beloved pets for hikes up Blue Hill, field trips to Sharon dog park, and indoor play dates on the dog days of winter. Contact Lori F. for more information.
UUs in the Workplace
You are invited to join a gathering of folks to share our experiences in the workplace as we struggle to maintain our balance and grace in our current jobs as well as in our job search for those of us who are in job transitions. We all have access to networking groups, but this is an opportunity to come together in mutual support of our spiritual journey. Contact Kitty M. for more information.
First Parish Outings Group
Some type of First Parish outings group dates back to 1987. It was formed to provide a social context to allow us to get to know each other outside the formal church surroundings or work party events. All sorts of ideas are welcome. Possibilities include annual canoe/hike weekend, canoeing, walks, softball and cookouts, ski trips, plays/concerts, Revolution soccer games, and more. Contact Steve A. for more information.
