Jan. 8 Kirtan—Dennis Hawk

Kirtan is of the oldest sacred sound traditions of the world. Consisting of call-and-response chanting, Kirtan involves Satsang, a Sanskrit term meaning where people gather together as a community to remember to turn inward and to help each other find our own inner path. Using a combination of sound, vibration, melody, harmony, and Sanskrit mantras- Kirtan is moving and exhilarating as well as quieting and meditative. A student of David Newman (Durga Das) Dennis Hawk will lead attendees in Kirtan that will calm the mind and open the heart.

Jan. 15  Conflict Management—Anna Krowiorz

Conflict can be productive.  Conflict can produce ideas and shared understandings.  Managing conflict means using a process to share differences and find common ground.  Identifying and respecting ground rules as well as following a resolution process leads to strong relationships.  This is a presentation we can use in many places!

December 18: “DANCE IN THE DARK OF THE YEAR” The Bittersweet Christmas Band. In the mid-winter festivals of light there is something for everyone to celebrate, from the most devoutly believing Christian to the most confirmed Atheist. As we meditate on this darkest time of the year and simultaneously turn back toward the light, we will invite everyone to honor whatever most closely touches their hearts and minds.

November 20   Soup Sunday Potluck

 “How to be a (Unitarian) Christian”—Arthur Thexton

Arthur has been a regular speaker here for several years.  He graduated from Beloit College in 1972 cum laude, and received his MA in Religious Studies from the University of Chicago Divinity School in 1974, and his JD from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1977.  This is the last in his series of three sermons, but if you missed the first two, you will still find this one provocative.

Our offering this week will go to TREP.  Keep in mind that $20 feeds a family of 4, $40 feeds 2 families of 4, etc.! How many families do you think we could feed?

November 27 “A Native American Blessing Ceremony” –Phyllis Kasper

Dr. Kasper grew up in Milwaukee and received her B.S. from UW-Milwaukee and her Ph. D. from McGill University in Montreal in 1965. She pursued a 10-year career in research in psychoneuroendocrinology and psychoneuroimmunology.  She has long been interested in the traditional healing approaches of “pre-scientific” cultures. Meeting Blackwolf working at Lutheran Social Services in Oshkosh in 1990 began her journey into Ojibwe traditions, from the dramatic and powerful sweat lodge to simple meditative approaches that can be practiced daily.These worlds of research and tradition connect through evidence that gratitude strengthens health.
