Spiritual Practice Groups

Spiritual Practices at OUUC are varied and include many different modalities as well as drawing from different sources and traditions. We have ongoing spiritual practice groups that are drop-in, and we have Soul Matters small group ministry groups that commit to meeting with each other for 8 or 9 months.

If you are interested in starting or leading a new spiritual practice group, please contact our Director of Community and Faith Development, Rev Sara Lewis, at dcfd@ouuc.org

Current Spiritual Practice Groups

Buddhist Sangha

All are welcome at the weekly sangha for learning about Buddhism and silent meditation practice.

The Buddhist Sangha meets most Thursdays 6:30-7:30.

For more information, contact Curt Hill

Soul Matters Groups meet monthly to explore our spiritual theme of the month through deep discussion and listening. We have one drop in group that is open to anyone, and closed groups with the same people meeting together each month.
