2025-10-01 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder
We welcome all who identify as women to join us this month as we look at our individual spiritual journeys. We will have some time to think about it, and journal some highlights, then share with the group if you wish. Our spiritual journeys will be rich and varied, and probably not linear! It is a good time of year to reflect on aspects of ourselves that got us to this moment in time. Gather at 6:30 pm in the Earth Room for social time, Circle begins at 7:00 pm. Bring a journal if you have one (we will have some available too) and an item that represents a part of your spiritual journey for the altar. Bring a snack to share if you’d like to. Also, we are collecting gift cards ($10 Target, Safeway, etc) or cash for our ongoing support of SPAN – Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence.
Please email membership@uuchurchofboulder.org to get connected to the group.

9/29 – 10/27 A five-week, in-person transformative experience and practical planning tool. We’ll explore the physical, spiritual, emotional, practical, and legacy dimensions of the end of life through reflection questions, articles, presentation, videos, and conversation. The result is concrete steps that will let you move forward with what matters most to you.
The class is for people of all ages and stages. It can be helpful if you or loved ones are nearing the end of life, if you have things you “know you need to do” but aren’t getting around to – or if you simply want to learn more about this universal experience.

In 2020, moved by the sense of death and loss at multiple levels, educator Diane Hullet launched Best Life Best Death to work as a death doula and end-of-life educator.
A teacher for 30+ years, she brings passion and creativity to the evocative subjects of mortality, end of life, and death.
