With laws criminalizing trans-children and reproductive health care, now is the time to root ourselves more deeply in this calling. Unitarian Universalism has a long and proud history of creating sexually healthy congregations and communities. We carry that torch in part through OWL. OWL empowers adults and children across the lifespan to know themselves in a deep way. It provides language and skills to think and talk about consent, boundaries, gender, sexuality, relationships, and our values. There are new editions of K-2 curricula and 10-12 curricula. These editions include much needed updates on gender and race diversity. All curricula levels (children, youth, and adult) will be offered. This will be East Shore’s third time hosting a Labor Day weekend training. And this time, we’re partnering with the Pacific Western Region of the UUA and local PNW UUA congregations to do so.
Childcare may be available upon request. Volunteer support roles for congregants who are not enrolled in the weekend course are needed
