July 24th Alyssa Dufresne, This is Water: How to transform stress in your daily life
Join us on July 24th in an interactive discourse on transforming stress in your daily life. During this time, we will cover an abbreviated version of David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech, "This is Water," and how the ideas he presented can help you find light in even the most stressful situations. Additionally, we will explore how this speech relates to the Seven Principles and the importance of having a core belief to fall back on. To listen to his full speech, go to youtu.be/ms2BvRbjOYo.

August 7th Karen Neller, El Camino De Santiago: A Pilgrimage in Spain
For centuries, people have set their sights on reaching Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. There are movies, books, and websites galore about it, and many different routes and ways of getting there. People on the Way of Santiago greet each other with “Buen camino!” (Blessings on your way might be one translation) What “paths” are we on? What routes have we taken? Wherever the summer takes you, may we wish each other “buen camino” and know we are companions through the summer.

August 28th Nancy Weis, Humor as a UU Spiritual Practice
A Canadian UU seminary student named Liz James began a chat group to share humor with her peers, and accidentally started the UU Hysterical Association, a Facebook humor group with around 80,000 members. We will hear her talk about how and why it happened and share some good humor of our own.
