Sacred Rest
In person Sun., Feb. 9, 4pm
Zoom Sun., Feb. 23, 4pm
   You were not just born to center your entire existence on work and labor. You were born to heal, to grow, to be of service to yourself and community, to practice, to experiment, to create, to have space, to dream, and to connect.
            ~ Tricia Hersey in Rest Is Resistance
   You deserve time to rest. Come and practice in community. In-person Sacred Rest on Feb. 9 will be in the Senior High Youth Room. Bring water, a journal, and/or blanket if you wish. On fourth Sundays (next on Feb. 23), the Central IL Religious Educators will facilitate a guided rest experience on Zoom for our four congregations in Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Peoria, and Springfield. Create a comfortable nest with a blanket or pillow, grab some water, and bring a journal if you wish. We’ll draw from the work of Tricia Hersey. To receive the link, email Jesi at DLRE@PeoriaUUChurch.org or sign up here  https://uuchurch.flocknote.com/signup/192803.

Date with Death Club
Sat., Mar. 22, 10am-Noon
Conference Room
& Zoom at https://tinyurl.com/ayw3cu5z
   Do you hope to face our human mortality with less fear and more curiosity? With less conformity and more creativity? If that sounds like you, welcome to Date with Death Club, where we explore topics of aging, death, and dying. Attend one, some, or all sessions.  
   This month’s topic is “Owning Your Dying.” In this session, we’ll talk about ways to face our own death with intention, exploring the process of holding deathbed vigils as well as home funerals. We’ll talk about the role of end-of-life support people and other community supports for reclaiming this aspect of our lives.
