UU Writers

Explore our monthly themes and engage spiritual discernment through the art of creative writing!  

The Vision
Writing is a long-loved path to personal insight, spiritual discernment and self-expression. By bringing the practice of writing to the exploration of our monthly themes, we hope to provide participants not only with another channel of self-discovery, but also with the gift of being witnessed in a new and precious way.  

What You Get
The subscription comes with two packets per each of our 2022-23 monthly themes. So for each theme you get a Facilitator's Guide and a Participant Packet.
The Participant Packets includes personal warm up prompts and 4-5 writing exercises to choose from.  
The Facilitator's Guide includes extra material to support facilitators as they lead their groups, such as center words, check in options, warm up activities, tips for guiding the discussion of the writing exercises.

Format and Approach
Groups are encouraged to adapt the material as best fits their group culture, but the suggested structure involves participants picking one of the writing exercises and working on it in advance of the group meeting. In the meeting, the facilitator uses the facilitator packet to guide the group through a warm up exercise, sharing the pieces group members have written and a closing ritual. 

Sample
The best way to get a sense of the curriculum is to explore a Facilitator's Guide and Participant Packet directly. So here are the 2021 September packets on Embracing Possibility:
Sept. 2021 Facilitator's Guide
sept. 2021 participant packet
Packet Creators
​Our packets are co-created by Rev. Scott Tayler, our Team Lead, and Dr. Andrea Natalia Naranjo Erazo. Andrea runs a journaling group at the National Institutes of Health.  She is a member of the UU affiliated Washington Ethical Society.

​You can also join a UU Writers group run by Soul Matters!
We know that some congregations can't always pull together critical mass to run a group. And some UUs don't live close to a UU congregation. So we offer a monthly online UU Writers group that anyone can join.
