This Month’s Theme – Belonging

As human beings, we have a need to belong. A UU congregation can be a community where we are each invited to show up as we are, being fully ourselves, and to do the work of inviting others to do the same. “True belonging is not passive. It is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness,” says professor and author, Brené Brown. What actions might you do this month to support your own sense of connection and belonging, and to encourage a sense of belonging in someone else?
