Earth Blessings Circle: Singing with the Living Earth
Tuesday, February 24th | 4:30 – 5:45 pm | HUUF Grounds (or in the sanctuary, weather permitting)
A gentle, communal circle rooted in sacred song, meditation, and simple ceremony. Together, we sing with the Earth—using voice and vibration as a form of prayer, communication, and shared healing. Through breath, sound, and attentive presence, we remember our relationship with the living land and the Earth within our own bodies, entering a reciprocal exchange of care, listening, and remembrance.
Bring something to sit on. Read More Details Here

Voices for Palestine Choir
Usually second and fourth Sundays at 1 pm at HUUF, with occasional schedule changes
Voices for Palestine is a community choir project dedicated to lifting hearts, soothing ragged nervous systems and uniting our voices for the peace and liberation of Palestine. If you need a break from your activism, or a place to gather with like-minded folks, or have had your heart broken open by the ongoing genocide in Gaza and are looking for a way to raise your voice and find others doing the work of advocacy and allyship: WE WELCOME YOU.
No previous musical experience is necessary. Just a desire to open your heart, and offer up a living, singing prayer for the people of Palestine. May our efforts be for their benefit, and for all those moved by this ongoing devastation.
Our choir is co-led by Sarah Hogan and Amy Day. For more information, contact Amy at minister@huuf.org

“Group singing is a powerful catalyst for social change and community building. We sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment.” Maggie McKnight
Community song circles welcome all voices, bringing together people who love to sing, regardless of experience level. Song circles don’t focus on performing for an audience; instead, learn songs from a variety of traditions by call-and-response, and sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment. Group singing is a powerful way of connecting with each other, and with something deep within ourselves—and the music we make as we support each other through song call forth the singing voice that is every human’s birthright. Led by Maggie McKnight

Chalice Dinners
Many early spiritual and religious traditions emerged from simply breaking bread together – being in one another’s company and sharing conversation about the type of world we wish to live in and build collectively.
These groups form based on geography, so you can create mutual aid community in your neighborhoods. Groups commit to meeting at least six times with each other. Sign up here
