Pastoral Care Group Space

Second Fridays September-June

1-hour program starting at 8 Eastern Time/7 Central Time/6 Mountain Time/5 Pacific Time

What is pastoral care, exactly? Pastoral care is support with navigating life—big and small things, joys and hardships and all those mixed together. It’s not therapy, but a way for us to be in community together, supporting each other. This is a space to share the hard stuff and to hold the hard stuff that others are navigating in their lives. To read more about pastoral care and find some resources to locate pastoral care, check out this post by UU Youth Ministry: What is pastoral care and where you can find it.

During our time together, our lead chaplain/facilitators will share opening and closing words, and in between, there is time for everyone to share what’s on their heards, and receive what others are sharing about their own lives. It’s a supportive, judgment-free place to connect with other trans/nonbinary+ people.

This year, the pastoral space is for adults only. If you’re a child or a youth and you’d like to have a space to talk about the hard stuff, let us know by registering for the pastoral space and putting a note in the comments. When we have enough children and youth registered, we’ll plan for opening additional spaces for different ages. And stay tuned for additional opportunities for children and youth to connect—we’re working on this!
