Join us on September 28, 2025, for a Water Ceremony. We will celebrate community, shared purposes and respect for the power of Nature’s diversity.

Bring a few ounces of water from your home base or the water source nearby. We will blend our waters, discuss our water, and remind ourselves we are connected like water sources: individual journeys, interconnected all the same.

The Water Ceremony has been a UU tradition since 1980, and is rich with meaning, encompassing multiple themes:

• Unity and diversity: The blending of water from different sources into a single vessel is a powerful metaphor for Unitarian Universalism itself, which draws from many religious traditions and non-religious experiences.
• Interdependence: The ritual reminds participants of their connection to one another and to the wider, interdependent web of life on Earth, highlighting a shared responsibility for the planet and its resources.
• A feminist origin: The first Water Ritual was created by women activists at a 1980 convocation to represent the interconnected work of women living far apart. It was used to promote feminist spirituality and empowerment.

Bring some water and learn more at 10:00 am on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the Chapel in the Pines in Eastham. Doors open at 9:30. Also on Zoom via this Zoom program link.
