Transforming Hearts: 6-session Course

Rev. Cathy Rion Starr (they/them) and Eli Scearce (she/they) led together an energetic, 6-session Transforming Hearts course: Transgender Inclusion in Congregations.

This course, created by Rev. Mykal Slack and Zr. Alex Kapitan of the Transforming Hearts Collective has been called by some UU Ministers, “the single most transformative experience for UUs trying to become more understanding and supporting of the transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer people among us.”

We all have ways in which we are alike, and ways in which we differ from the larger groups we are a part of. How can we at UUSD and beyond more energetically invite all aspects of ourselves to show up and be seen and loved for all of who we are?
