Inner Listening
Alert attention.
Brave inquiry.
Today’s service explores and illustrates how such actions nurture a relationship with our soul and frees up the healing spiritual “medicine” it holds for ourselves and others.
Spirit of Life, Come to Me
(click to reserve an in person seat)
Join Us! –(in person)
Sunday, October 17 at 11 a.m.
 Often in times of trouble we call out in hopes there is some “One” beyond us that might help. Then, crisis over, we go back to our everyday life never looking back. This pattern doesn’t work well in these days of constant crisis. Is there any One to call out to? Inspired by the Soul Matters topic “Cultivating Relationship,” Bonnie, Laura and other HUUF members will lead us up to the edge of that question: Is there a God/Ultimate Source/Higher Power? Can we cultivate a relationship with this Power/Spirit? What can this look like?
Laura Phelan-Shahin, the mother of two young children, is a marriage and family therapist for whom cultivating and healing relationships is her life work. Bonnie MacGregor is a lifelong spiritual explorer and practitioner close to the end of her life span. This exploration matters greatly to them both.

 Ancient Forest Sangha
Fall Day of Mindfulness at HUUF: Living this Precious Life
All are welcome to join the Ancient Forest Sangha for a nourishing day of mindful meditation practices, sitting, walking, eating, deep relaxation, and times of silence and sharing led by Dharma Teacher Alexa Singer-Telles on October 16 from 10:30 AM to 5 PM at HUUF. You are invited to bring a picture or symbol to place on an altar to our ancestors as we contemplate the Five Remembrances. These wisely remind us of the theme of this day’s practice: the preciousness of life, and how looking at death teaches us to live life more fully. Bring a vegetarian lunch, water, a blanket or yoga mat for total relaxation and a cushion if you prefer to use one. Since part of the day will be held indoors, we will observe the following Covid precautions: all attending must be fully vaccinated and masked, all windows will be open (so it may be cool), and people will be spaced appropriately. The suggested donation for the day is $30, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds; offerings of ‘dana’ – generosity – will be invited. Please contact Valerie for more information or to register: polkaqueen@gmail.com.

Each American uses an average of 80-100 gallons of water per day at home
(USGS, Estimated Use of Water in the United States).
How much can you and your family conserve if you put you mind to it?
The more we do together the bigger impact we’ll have overall. Soon these small changes will become habits that you won’t have to think about! Together we can help mitigate the consequences of climate change.
 - This week, wash only FULL loads of laundry… and weather permitting, hang your clothes to dry rather than using the dryer- (If it’s rainy you can also hang the clothes indoors!)
You are invited to let the CAC know how your doing with your conservation efforts email Margy Emerson: margaretemerson@att.net

There is a strong link, often referred to as the water-energy nexus, between water, energy, and the climate crisis. Reducing energy demand — and thereby reliance on fossil fuels — is necessary to drive the clean energy transition forward. Better water management can play a key role in driving down energy demand and its associated climate pollution. Join us to hear from a diverse set of speakers who will discuss how climate change is exacerbating the impacts of California water mismanagement on vulnerable communities. This webinar will offer live Spanish translation. REGISTER HERE |
