AUW has been a dynamic force in the life of First Universalist Church of Minneapolis since 1905! Generations of women have gathered under our umbrella to connect with each other, to deepen our faith, and act on our beliefs by serving the community.
AUW Fall Mini-Retreat
Saturday, November 16 - 10 am - 3 pm
Keynote: Luminous Pragmatism
What will we carry now into the future? Historian Tiya Miles uses the term “luminous pragmatism” to describe how the activist/healer Harriet Tubman answered her lifelong calling with all of her powers: her deep understanding of nature and human nature, her astute reading of the signs of her times, her will to serve, her mystical and unwavering spirituality. When the AUW gathers in November, our American landscape will be differently mapped than it is right now. No matter the outcome of this year’s election, how will we choose to move forward one-by-one in community?
Our keynote speaker, Victoria Safford has served UU congregations in Massachusetts and Minnesota and currently serves as part time co-chaplain for the staff of the UUA. She lives with her family on the west side of St. Paul.
In addition to the keynote, we will have various breakout sessions including, a movement session, singing, how to write persuasive letters, needle felting and a more! Admission will be free to AUW members, $10 for non-members. All women and those who identify as women are welcome! Registration is requested. Register here.
