Soul Matters

WUU is part of a network of Unitarian Universalist congregations that explore the same monthly theme, serving as a web of connection through sermons, reflections, children’s programs, and the arts. Small groups meet once a month to discuss the Soul Matters resource packets that encourage reflection on the theme throughout the month through resources, practices, and questions.

Most groups start together in the fall, but there are ways to be involved throughout the year in person or on Zoom. If you’d like to learn more about this small group experience at WUU, please download the Soul Matters Participant Guide. If you are interested in hearing more about current opportunities to participate, email soulmatters@wuu.org for more information.

WUU members can access packets in the Member Area of this website and through Breeze, our online directory. Visitors can contact the office to request packets. You will see the theme woven in surprising and subtle ways throughout the month. The resources give opportunities to go below a surface understanding of a topic and to cultivate new spiritual practices in your daily life.
