IMBOLC celebration — Dances of Universal Peace
Saturday 1 August, 7.30pm–9.00pm, at the church

Imbolc is the ancient Celtic holiday, marking the “quickening of the year”, the halfway point between winter solstice and spring equinox. It is the time in Aotearoa where the new lambs are born, the daffodils are popping up, and the very first signs of Spring and the stirring of new life are seen in nature. The original word Imbolg means “in the belly”. All is pregnant and expectant — it is the season of renewal, of hidden potential, of earth awakening and life-force stirring.

Come join us for our sacred community circle of music, mantra, meditation, and magic! with Sally Mabelle and friends.

All welcome — koha gratefully received (an offering to Auckland Unitarians Peace and Social Justice committee).

Derek Handley is hosting Wiser Conversations, ‘Together at Home’ a series of virtual conversations designed to help us reflect and respond to our new surreality.

Seeking youth group builder/leader

Miscellaneous

Auckland Unitarians are looking for a leader to create and lead a youth group in our community.

Our vision is that in these times of high anxiety around climate change, increasing inequality and racial tensions, that our community is able to stand as a source of hope and spiritual inspiration and support. We believe that for young people in Auckland, there is a need for such a community

We would be able to provide a curriculum, or the youth leader could develop their own, as long as it was in line with Unitarian–Universalist principles. The group would be expected to meet in the church building in Ponsonby, on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

If you are interested, or know of anyone who might be suitable for this role, please email us at youthgroup@aucklandunitarian.org.nz
