Congregational Conversations: Shifting From Problem to Opportunity
Thursday, April 16, 2026 – 10:00 am PT | 11:00 am MT | 12:00 pm CT | 1:00 pm ET | 2:00 pm AT | 2:30 pm NT (90 minutes)
In 2019, Anne attended a ‘Solutions Economy Workshop’ led by Shaun Loney* – and it forever changed the way she looks at problems! This month, Anne will share one of her favourite lessons – how to shift problems into opportunities – and what that could mean for our congregations and communities.
Come with your concerns or challenges, come with your triumphs or transformations – it’s all a part of the conversation.

2026: A Year of Connection, Courage, and Collective Growth
In 2026, we invite you into a renewed season of Congregational Conversations—spaces where UU leaders gather to connect, focus, and learn.
Each session is an opportunity to pause, breathe, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper purpose of congregational life. When you attend, you are not only nurturing your own leadership—you are offering a gift to your congregation and to our wider movement. Your presence helps strengthen the ecosystem of Unitarian Universalism across Canada.
These conversations are moments to ask:
What is emerging in our communities? What is being asked of us now? How can we lead with courage, imagination, and care?
Together, we cultivate wisdom that no congregation could generate alone.
