Once a month, participants gather in small groups to further their understanding of, and relation to, the theme of the month.

To aid reflection and sharing, a packet of readings, queries, and practices exploring the theme is sent to participants beforehand. Together in the circle of community, we share and listen attentively, deepening our connection with ourselves and each other, and furthering our understanding of, and relation to, the theme of the month.

This year, a drop-in Journey Circle is meeting in person on the first Tuesday of each month, from 3:30 - 5:30 pm at 775 Weller Street in Peterborough. Other closed Journey Circles will meet at regular times chosen by each circle.

To indicate your interest in attending the drop-in, or joining a closed circle, please email Rev. Peter Boullata

The Non-Fiction Book Club welcomes all to join us for discussion of books with spiritual and social content that are aligned with Unitarian values. We meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month at 2pm via Zoom.

For March, we will be reading Encampment by Maggie Helwig. Note that One City will present a talk by Helwig on April 14th (in Peterborough). The book is about Helwig's efforts as a parish priest to support the homeless in Toronto's Kensington Market.

Encampment tells the story of Helwig’s life-long activism as preparation for her fight to keep her churchyard open to people needing a home. It introduces us to the people she supports and confronts our society’s callousness in allowing so many to go unhoused and demands, by bringing their stories to the fore, that we begin to respond with compassion and grace.

The Women's Circle is about “women supporting women” through conversation that involves:
* sharing information
* celebrating our achievements
* providing emotional support
* offering practical help where possible
* building a collective strength and
* working towards positive change.

Women of ‘all ages' are welcome.

We meet, virtually, the 3rd Wednesday of the month, from 1.45pm to 3.15pm

On the second Sunday of the month, the Connections Team provides an opportunity for searchers and explorers to ask questions and learn more about our community. We usually gather in the small classroom on the ground floor after the service (around 11:30am).

We offer a two-session course, approximately twice a year, to those who are interested in learning more about this community and about Unitarian Universalist history, faith, and practice. This course is strongly suggested for those who want to become members of this community.

Members and friends meet at 775 Weller Street every Tuesday at 4:00pm to meditate together.

We sit for thirty minutes of silent meditation followed by some conversation. This is a drop-in group, open to all whether you’re new to meditation or a long-time meditator.
