Adult Life Enrichment



Winter 2012 Adult Life Enrichment 
Class Booklet with Registration Form
now available!


The goal of Adult Life Enrichment is to offer classes and events with these values and balances:

  • Three terms of classes each year
  • At least five courses or events per term
  • A balance of appeal to all ages and life stages
  • An opportunity for fellowship
  • Outreach to the wider community
  • A balance of intellectual, emotional, and experiential styles
  • A balance of small, medium, and large events/classes
  • New offerings as well as old favorites
  • Classes that meet a wide range of schedules
  • Variety that addresses mind, body, heart, and spirit

We invite your participation in the events listed below. 

  • Classes are offered during the fall, winter and spring terms, for a six to eight week period, on a schedule determined by the teacher.  Classes have a suggested donation. 
    • Workshops are one-time events, often offered on a Saturday morning.   Workshops have a suggested donation that may include materials.
      • Ongoing Affinity Groups are open and have a focus that participants share, for example, an interest in yoga, talking about books, graceful aging, or parenting teens.  There are an infinite number of possibilities for ongoing affinity groups.
        • Dances of Universal Peace:  Multicultural ways to experience dancing, singing, chanting.
        • T’ai Chi Chih:  Joy through graceful exercise
        • Book Group:  Read and discuss all kinds of books.
        • Women’s Discussion Group:  Make friends and share interests of all kinds.
        • Morning Practice:  Walking, sitting, and journaling to begin the day.

      • Covenant Groups are groups of 10-12 people who meet on a regular basis with a trained facilitator for fellowship and spiritual journeying and exploration.  Groups are formed three times a year with an opportunity to experience the format before committing to a year of meetings.  Please tell our Administrator (Diane in the office) if you are interested in joining a group.

      For more information about any or all of these, please contact the Adult Life Enrichment Committee at ale@uucmp.org.

      Payment Policy: Most events and classes have suggested donations that support education at our Church.   No one will be denied enrollment for lack of ability to pay.  Contributions for scholarships are accepted.
