This Week at UCM
There’s a lot happening here! Here’s a link to our Google calendar
Activism 101
Want to be a world-changer? Where do you start? Check out our calendar for upcoming dates and times for Activism 101.
Bad Art Club
Do you suffer from Art Fear? AKA Perfectionism? Artist’s block? Me too, sister. We asked artsy Athenians to apply a “Kindergarten Art Class” approach to learning how to make a type of art. We tried a new medium every week. Thank you to all who participated!
Email Jamie if you have any questions or if you want to host with us! Past topics covered print making, painting, poetry, and zine making.
Crafternoon
Do you have a creative itch you want to scratch? On Friday afternoon from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., we are hosing an open art space. We have the stuff: the paints, a sewing machine, jewelry making, tie-dye, clay, diamond painting, stamp carving, a button maker, iron-on transfers…and plenty of other random craft supplies. Come on over!
Ah, that feels better!
Friends (Quaker) Meeting
Thou art welcome among Friends! Led by Tim Dransfield of Athens Friends Meeting, from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Sunday of each month, a group of Friends meet for a reading, a period of silence to commune with the Greater, and a time of reflection. Are you curious about this group, the Quakers, that have been socially active (abolition, women’s rights, racial justice, and more!) for over 300 years? Come and check it out.
Group Meditation
Every Thursday at lunchtime, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m., Buddhist and UCM board president Susan Erlewine is hosting an hour of silent meditation in the first-floor lounge. If you’ve never tried it before, stop by and give it a go!
Power Hour
Feeling powerless? There are SO many things we can do! Join us for Power Hour, a lunchtime session with thirty minutes of education on an issue and an opt-in thirty minutes of action, like calling our reps. Check out our Google calendar for upcoming dates and times.
You are a powerful being!
Queer Literature Club
You’re not alone. Other folks have been in similar places and felt similar things as you. Some of them have even written about it! Join Denver for a dive into queer lit. Contact them with any questions.
