A Great Transformation!
Featuring Aureole Lighten and Joe O'Malley, with Drummers Cynthia Ewers, Brooke Greiner, Sally Pendras, Susan MacKenzie and Kathy Sestrap on piano.
It’s common to enter a new year wanting to begin again. Sometimes all we need is a re-commitment to something already precious to our hearts and souls. Times like these, when the entire world is in agreement that a new year has begun, is when we can use the momentum of the collective and renew our commitment to the highest good of all. In other words, the perfect time for a great transformation.

The Soul of Winter
Winter's aesthetic may be stark but it is no less beautiful. The depth and quiet of this dark time brings necessary rest. When we hold the season with reverence for what it is, and not disparage it for what it isn't, we meet the soul of winter. Join us as we worship Her season of restoration as we prepare for Yule!

The Blessings to Count!
Featuring Vocalist Joyce Allison, with Kathy Sestrap on Piano.
As we journey deeper into Mother Nature's time of dormancy, there is much to be grateful for. Gratitude is the practice that lifts our hearts and expands our capacity to love. Join us to reflect on how our blessings support this time on the life cycle.
Blessings,

The Wisdom of the Crone!
Featuring Vocalist Aureole Lighten, with Kathy Sestrap on Piano.
The Crone aspect of the Goddess is one of the wisdom of lived experience. She is the wisdom keeper, the reliable truth teller, the compassionate presence. As the veil between the worlds grows thin in season, our worship turns toward the wisdom the Goddess as Elder and Guide.

A Necessary Change
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Featuring: Joyce Allison, and Kathy Sestrap on Piano
There is something particularly poignant about what the month of September brings. Continued harvest. A point of balance. A letting go. At the Autumnal Equinox we cross the threshold into the dark half of the year. This change is necessary for what we gather in season and also in what we release. As the nights begin to grow longer than the days, how might we reorient to this part of the life cycle spiritually? Join us for our 23th Anniversary service!

For The Sacred
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Featuring: Chanteuse Celia, and Kathy Sestrap on Piano
When the grains are first harvested in season, we know it's time to take stock. Ensuring an abundant future means examining our present practices. How might these practices become devotional, soulful? What must we do, and what must we cease, for the sacred?

Shoreline UU Church:
1st Ave. NE Seattle, WA 98155
Featuring: Teresa Tudury and Kathy Sestrap on Piano
This month, as we celebrate the birthday of our country, freedom is up for examination! While we all know what it means to be free, we might not know that our freedom depends, not only on the laws of the nation in which we live, but our personal mindset with rules of it's own. Join us to contemplate how freeing ourselves from limited thinking, upholds the ideal of freedom and justice for all.
Thank you for listening,

A Fathers Love
As Father's Day approaches, we turn our thoughts to the men who provided the place-holder for the masculine in our lives. What kind of fathers did we have, what kind of fathers are we, what kind of fathering is needed now.

Mothering the World!!
Regardless of our age, we all need the comfort of sweet maternal love. We also know that we must be what we wish to see in the world. As we celebrate Mother's Day in Gaia's Temple, we will contemplate the kind of mothering we can bring and offer to the Earth and thereby to all who dwell upon Her.
