Love as Our Center – Caring for Ourselves
Join us on ZOOM at 5:00pm PT / 6:00pm MT / 7:00pm CT / 8:00pm ET.
– 2nd Sunday Community Celebration (worship)
– 3rd Sunday Full Community Celebration with UUs for Racial Justice & Sepulveda UU Society
– 4th Sunday Community Gathering
We welcome people of color along with their families who are exploring, reclaiming, reconciling, and celebrating their identities in a UU context to experience wholeness and belonging, built on deep relationships of trust, providing sanctuary and community connection with opportunities for spiritual practice, and community leadership.
As we continue our October theme of “Love as Our Center,” this Sunday we focus on what it means to truly care for ourselves. In a world that often pushes us to overextend, how do we make space for healing, rest, and self-compassion? Join us as we explore the spiritual and communal importance of self-care, particularly within BIPOC communities. Through reflection, music, and meditation, we’ll connect with practices that nurture the soul and strengthen our capacity to show up in love for ourselves.
——
NOTE: We ask you to bring a Breathing Buddy. What is a Breathing Buddy? A small stuffed animal, pillow or other item to help you center during our meditation time together.
This is a BIPOC (and family) Only space. If you’re a white ally, feel free to pass this invitation along to your BIPOC siblings. If you are a BIPOC person (this includes multiracial/multiethnic folks), please gather with us as we celebrate our lives as BIPOC UUs and offer one another support in our spiritual journeys. The Mountain Top is a community that respects diverse spiritual and religious traditions and practices, and we invite you to share yours with us.

Community Celebrations (worship) are different each Sunday, but we always have music, an extended check-in and discussion because we believe our lives and experiences as BIPOC folks are sacred texts.
We generally stay together for 2 1/2 hours, but you are welcome to stay for as long or as short a time as suits you. After our formal program, we’ll have a check-in, and everyone will have the opportunity to share what is important in our lives with the community.
Sometimes we have a large crowd and sometimes just a few folks, but we are committed to always holding this space for anyone who may wish to join us.

We hope to see you soon!
