COVENANT GROUPS—LOOKING FOR COMPANIONSHIP?
These small discussion groups build shared understanding, and provide support. Groups are open and new members are warmly welcomed. For information, please contact facilitator, Virginia Erdy. There are two covenant groups, meeting on the second and fourth Sunday or Wednesday of the month. The Sunday Covenant Group will next meet today, Sunday, April 27, at 7:15 PM at Virginia Erdy’s home. The Wednesday Group will meet Wednesday, 5-14 at 1:30 PM.
DRUMMING JOURNEYERS meets monthly to journey and share insights. They normally gather the first Friday of the month at participants’ homes. Shamanic journeying is a time-honored tool for accessing an altered state of consciousness, much like a dream state, for spiritual guidance and healing. The altered state is achieved by listening to a rapid drumbeat, approximately 4 beats per second, which induces theta waves in the brain. Please contact Carol Wilde for information about this group.
Oberlin UU Fellowship Board Meeting will be held TODAY., April 27 at 12:15 PM. Please bring a bag lunch.
