Social Justice Committee
When confronted with important justice issues, the response of many is “But what can we do?” To answer this is a project we are calling “What’s Up,” a table in the lobby following Sunday services, staffed by a representative of the Social Justice Committee,with information and resources you can use to take action and make your voice heard on important issues. This might mean prewritten or sample letters to be sent to elected public officials, postcard mailings, phone lists with instructions and suggested scripts, and other actions. Look for the “What’s Up Table” beginning this month. Mark your calendar now and plan to attend a Kitchen Table Forum on the topic “Planning for a Climate-Resilient Nature Coast” scheduled for January 25. More details to follow next month.
The next meeting of the Social Justice Committee is Thursday Dec.12 at 3 pm at the Fellowship.
Qigong classes
Nature Coast Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is offering Qigong-Mindful Movement classes on Wednesdays, 3 PM, at 7633 N. Florida Ave. Citrus Springs.
Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is similar to a moving meditation. This ancient practice consists of gentle movement patterns, breath awareness, and a focused mindset designed to enhance vitality, deepen inner connection, and create space for your highest potential.
By gently moving stagnant Qi (life force energy) you can release blockages and feel balanced with effortless effort !
Our teacher, Alicia Martinez, is a Qigong Associate instructor as well as certified Yoga Instructor for adults and children.
Come join us for this weekly practice. No experience is required and instructor will provide modifications if needed.
