Welcome! The Women and Religion Movement is alive and well in the 21st Century. A grassroots project started by lay leaders in the 1970s as an effort to promote examination of religious roots of sexism and patriarchy within the UUA and beyond, UU Women and Religion officially began as a task force following the unanimously-passed WOMEN AND RELIGION RESOLUTION at the 1977 UUA General Assembly. Although the Task Force was eventually sunsetted, the movement still exists in UU communities that hold Women & Religion programs and gatherings for those who identify as women. It exists at the UU General Assembly, where UUW&R brings our Store to the Exhibit Hall and occasionally hosts a gathering. And it lives in the hearts and lives of people who have been touched by the many changes inspired by this movement.

"We do not want a piece of the pie. It is still a patriarchal pie. We want to change the recipe!" -- Rosemary Matson

October 2008 Retreat info

October 17-19, 2008 Fall Retreat

Deep inside each of us, an ancient wisdom lies sleeping.
Our ancestors understood the divine nature of the Living Earth
and how it is that we are woven into the sacred web of life.

Our bodies still know.

During this experiential weekend,
we will use song and movement, stillness and contemplation,
storytelling, the labyrinth, altar-building,
and art-making to connect and deepen this vision.

Led by Sarah Campbell, a community herbalist in Lancaster County, PA.

A priestess in the Wiccan tradition, Sarah was ordained by Starhawk.
She has been teaching women and girls for more than 15 years
