Music is powerful! It can create atmosphere, induce calm or sleep, inspire dancing, set a pace for exercise, or uplift the spirit. It affects us. How does music affect you? Do you use it intentionally? Are you drawn to or repelled by certain styles?
Continuing our practice of visiting other UU churches, we will visit First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles this Sunday for a service featuring Karla Montarrosa. Please plan to carpool if possible. The Joys & Annoyances of a Multiracial & Multicultural Community, with Karla Montarroso. UULA member, Karla, will speak on her work around conflict, recommitting to being in community together, and what it looks like to understand the negotiation of difference. 2936 W 8th St, Los Angeles, CA 90005
Where do we find the words that build our spirituality and sense of purpose? Do they come from holy books? Fortune cookies? Notes our loved ones write to us? Or elsewhere? The words we live by can guide our thoughts and actions. Their origins might tell us a lot about where we want to go and how to get there.
One of our culture’s foundational myths is about ownership, security, and permanence. In the natural world and indigenous cultures, these are aberrations! JD offers a bit of science, some personal experiences, and a Talking Heads song as puzzle pieces toward a new, more vulnerable humility grounded in stewardship instead of ownership.
In this After Skool Video episode Rupert Sheldrake, biologist and author, debunks the view that the mind is nothing but brain activity and argues that our mind is extended in every act of visual perception.
