This Year's UU Common Read "Social Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection"
by Deepa Iyer. Social Change Now guides readers to examine their personal connection with one or more roles--builder, storyteller, disrupter, caregiver, weaver, and more. Readers explore what each role gives and what people performing that role may need in support.

The GPUC Book Discussion Group meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 6 pm. At this time we plan to meet at the church during Fall and Spring and switch to Zoom in Winter when some of our members go to Florida. Our May meeting is devoted to gathering book suggestions from our readers for the next season, with final book selections and discussion leaders chosen at the June meeting.
For more information and to receive the present reading list, please contact the GPUC Office ([email protected]). Current book group information is available on our website homepage, the weekly church email and in the monthly Newsletter. We are a friendly group; everyone is welcome! |
Gentle Yoga Zoom Classes
This is a 60 minute gentle yoga session that occurs every Thursday from 4:30pm-5:30pm with Carol Guither virtually via Zoom. Everyone is welcome, no matter what your level or experience.
Each session is a gentle, well-rounded practice that focuses on a particular aspect of the body, such as twists, back-bends, reclined poses, and others. Participants are encouraged to use mats, blocks and straps, and to find an unobstructed and calm place to practice.
Participants should always honor their own level of activity and flexibility. The yoga "mantra" always is "honor your own body." If it's not comfortable, don't do it.
Cost is $5.00 per session. Participants can pay by the Venmo app or, by cash or check. Please click here for Carol's Venmo information. (If you need help signing up for Venmo, please contact Ameera in the office ([email protected]) and she will walk you through the sign-up process.) Note: Venmo is a subsidiary of PayPal and requires a credit card number for the transaction. If you prefer to pay by cash or check, please contact Carol at: [email protected].
About Carol: Carol began practicing yoga as a teenager and has continued a serious practice ever since. She credits her longtime yoga practice with reducing tension, anxiety, and arthritis. Carol is a also practitioner of mindfulness meditation, which she often combines with her personal yoga practice for a “moving meditation.” Carol received her YTT 200 Certified Yoga Instructor from Full Lotus Yoga in 2016. Carol’s classes focus on integrating breath with movement and alignment. Carol’s yoga philosophy is, “yoga is for everyone; if you can breathe, you can do yoga.”
