Registration

UPDATE as of October 14: 

DRUUMM SWANA is changing the Zoom link for the October 14 gathering, to align with the format for the upcoming Wave Cohort gatherings. 

Cohort Details

This cohort brings together Unitarian Universalists of Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) descent to reflect on the spiritual, political, and communal realities shaping our lives. In a time of rising Islamophobia, genocide, forced displacement, and global conflict, we will build shared understanding and discern how our UU values call us to show up—as individuals and as a faith community—for justice, healing, and belonging.

Dates: Oct 14, Nov 11 & Dec 9

Time: Second Tuesdays from 5 to 6 PM Pacific/8 to 9 PM Eastern.

Please complete the registration form below before the meeting if possible:
