Rising Together: Unitarian Universalists of Colour

Wednesday, February 12, 2025 – 4:30 pm PT | 5:30 pm MT | 6:30 pm CT | 7:30 pm ET | 8:30 pm AT | 9:00 pm NT

Indigenous folks, Black folks and people of colour (IBPOC) are often in the minority in Unitarian Universalists congregations and communities. Gathering together with others who share similar identities and experiences can reduce isolation and support us in getting our spiritual needs met. Rising Together is the place where we can find each other!

Led by Camellia Jahanshahi, the CUC’s Dismantling Barriers Lead staff, Rising Together gathers online bimonthly for themed worship, discussions, and workshop-style activities. Then in between those sessions we meet to share stories and connect in a slightly less formal way. Join us for a chance to meet other IBPOC Unitarian Universalists across Canada and nurture our community with the aim of affirming each other and ensuring we have a confident voice in the broader Unitarian Universalist community.
