Soul Connections Program

Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation engages in a monthly theme-based program, in which we explore one theme in depth through worship, music, newsletter reflections and in small groups called Soul Connections.

Soul Connections groups provide an opportunity that invites all participants into a deeper reflection of their lives and beliefs. In addition, they create a small circle with which to build community and participate in a larger congregational conversation. For information and to sign up, email soulconnections@unitytemple.org.

What are the Soul Connections materials?

Each month, a packet of materials developed around a particular theme is emailed to our members and friends; the materials include a reflection, quotes, movies, books, song lists, a spiritual exercise, questions to ponder on that particular theme, or a concrete way of experiencing the theme.

What are the themes for 2026-27?

Beginnings (September), Courage (October), Healing (November), Awe (December), Thresholds (January), Commitment (February), Balance (March), Emergence (April), Play (May), Horizons (June)

What is the format of Soul Connections groups?

The small group monthly meetings have a trained facilitator and generally last up to  two hours. They consist of the following elements: opening/chalice lighting, brief check-in, discussion of the spiritual exercise, discussion of “questions to wrestle with,” check out, and closing.

How can I join a Soul Connections group?
You can email your interest to soulconnections@unitytemple.org. Generally, Soul Connections groups begin in October and March and each meet for 12 months. Occasionally, there are openings at other times. We ask each participant to commit to showing up regularly and for the 12-month duration. Soul Connections groups meet at various times during the week, at both day and evening times, and some meet on Zoom, designed to work with different schedules.
