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.

SPECIAL GUEST ANN KEELER EVANS, M.Div.

What if there were a Tarot, that was not your grandmother’s tarot and was the most UU Tarot you could imagine? Historically, Tarot answered questions about the fates’ influence on your lives. What happens when you release antiquated archetypes, hierarchies, and isms?

Ann Keeler Evans’ Peacemaker Tarot for the 21st Century answers those questions — releasing the mysticism without losing Mystery. What are you called to in this world? What do your gifts make you perfectly suited to offer? How will you change the world? Have a reading, buy the books, (you can buy a set of cards on-line and download Volume II-C to support your reading of her cards.)

One-card Major Arcana readings offered on site for $30 (with $5 included for UUWR). Inquire/Schedule a longer 5 Card Major Arcana reading with Ann for $125 at ann@annkeelerevans.org.

Ann will be at the booth Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
