UUSS Earth Circles in October 2016

We All Are Connected. We All Are Equal.
Rattle-Making Workshop
Saturday, October 15, 9am-noon and Sunday, October 16, 5:30-6:30 pm
Make a traditional leather rattle at UUSS! This workshop is open to adults, students over 13, and children over 7 accompanied by parent. Space is limited. On the first day you will plan, cut the leather, punch holes (with a nail and hammer), and lace. The second day you will fill it, attach the stick, and decorate. We will then awaken the rattles at the Full Moon Drum Circle, 7-8 pm. Cost is $25 per leather rattle and includes materials. Scholarships are available. Registration due October 4th by e-mail (EarthCirclesUUSS@gmail.com) or call Melinda at 377-9197.

Full Moon Drum Circle
Sunday, October 16, 7-8pm under the dome
Our drum circles are time for joyful community. All are welcome! Our circles are open to all ages. They usually involve calling the directions, freestyle drumming, a teaching or sharing, and a chant or two based on participants. This one will be special because we will help awaken the new leather rattles. Bring instruments to use and to share if you have them and finger food. There are extra instruments available but “found” or improvised ones work well too.

Celebrate Samhain
Tuesday, November 1st, 7-8pm under the dome
Join us to celebrate the New Year – All are welcome!
When the veil between the worlds is thin, traditional people honor all souls, and plant the seeds of renewal and change. We will listen to spooky stories, sing songs, leave offerings, and have fun together. If you choose, dress as who you want to become. Bring a snack (finger food) to share if you can, and drums, rattles, or improvise.
