UUCville now has a women’s spirituality and ritual group, called WomenSpirit.

The WomenSpirit group will gather 8 times a year, to celebrate the 8 Sabbats: the seasonal festivals comprising the Wheel of the Year.

All our Women Spirit Rituals are held from 6:30-8:30 pm on the outdoor labyrinth; if that’s not possible due to weather, we’ll meet in Lower Hall 2. Contact is Womenspirit@uucharlottesville.org.

More Info on WOMENSPIRIT:

• This is a drop-in group: You may come to any single ritual, or all of them throughout the year, and you may begin participating or drop in for a single event at at any time. Our group is always open to all women.
• Facilitation of rituals will be shared among members of the group who wish to help plan rituals and gatherings.
• There is no charge to participate, although a basket will be available for voluntary contributions towards materials, supplies, and food and drink.
• Gatherings will take place at the UU Congregation of Charlottesville, either indoors or outdoors depending on temperature and weather.
• You are always welcome to bring women friends and family, wives and girlfriends, even if they do not identify as UU.
• UU women from other area congregations and visitors are welcome, as are UU-curious women friends and neighbors.
• We welcome mature young women under 18 who are interested in becoming a part of this multigenerational women’s spirituality group.
• Cis and trans women are all enthusiastically and lovingly welcomed in this circle of sisterhood, as are non-binary folks who feel drawn to a woman-centered group celebrating the divine feminine.
