Community Grief Circle

Friday, February 13th | 7 pm | HUUF Sanctuary

This two-hour grief gathering invites participants into a spacious and compassionate community to honor personal and collective loss, guided by Francis Weller’s first Gate of Grief: All That We Love We Will Lose. Through song, embodied reflection, silence, and shared presence, we will practice tending grief as sacred work—opening pathways toward connection, tenderness, and a more whole world.

A Community Singing series for 2S/LGBTQ+ folx

Led by Maggie McKnight,

This is a five-week drop-in series that meets every Monday in March from 5:30-7pm, our calendar can be found here. 

Free (donations welcome but not required).

Community singing provides a vital sense of belonging, wellbeing, and release, in a world that many of us find increasingly hard to face. This series if geared specifically toward queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming people, who may face additional stress as we navigate the world.

We gather for the joy and nourishment of creating music with our collective voices, focusing on participating rather than performing. Science continues to prove what community singers know from experience: that singing together with others makes you feel better. Come to one session or all five and join us as we raise our voices together in a circle of belonging.

No musical experience necessary; all songs are taught orally, so reading music is not required.

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
