January, in the Northern Hemisphere, has been considered by some experts to be known as “the most depressing month of the year.” Together, we will explore the impact of certain times of the year on our spiritual and emotional well-being by exploring inspiration from the book, “The Emotional Calendar: Understanding seasonal influences and milestones to become happier, more fulfilled, and in control of your life” by Dr. John R. Sharp. As we approach February 1st, which is the early springtime agricultural holiday known as Imbolc or St. Brigid’s Day, we take a look at how the dark and cold winter months here can be fertile ground for all of the beautiful things that we would like to sow, sprout, and reap in the future months to come.

Janvier, dans l’hémisphère nord, est considéré par certains experts comme “le mois le plus déprimant de l’année”.

Sharp. À l’approche du 1er février, qui est le début des vacances agricoles au printemps connu sous le nom d’Imbolc ou St. Brigid’s Day, nous examinons comment les mois d’hiver sombres et froids ici peuvent être un terrain fertile pour toutes les belles choses que nous aimerions semer, germer et récolter dans les mois à venir.

[Via Zoom] Joining the Unitarian Church of Montreal - Remembrance day
2022-11-13 10:30 - 12:00 | Via Zoom
All of our veterans who were members of “The Greatest Generation,” and who carried our Remembrance Day wreath for years, are gone now. They were among the generation that had a vision of the United Nations and who wrote and ratified the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. As members of subsequent generations, we are called to carry forward their legacy in a time when we are challenged by our own fears of a potential Third World War looming before us. We take this day to mourn what was and what is, and to find sustenance to uphold our dreams of the basic human right to live in peace.

Each of our lives is a silent promise … discovering your hidden self … making our lives into a work of art … listening to stories of transformation.
Author Stephen Sims served as program director of a drug rehabilitation center in his native Montreal, and later, as director of a hospitality house for the homeless. Growing out of this experience, Steve set up an awareness education foundation to foster personal transformation – to encourage physical wellness, emotional literacy, and spiritual realization. Steve also initiated dialogues with educators and community development workers throughout the Eastern Himalayas. This cross-cultural experience was the catalyst for him to begin writing, and to establish an interdisciplinary wisdom forum to study diverse healing arts, transformational sciences, and the teachings of different spiritual traditions.

Paul-Conrad Carignan, “Forbidden Native Ceremonies” / “Cérémonies autochtones interdites”
2022-10-02 10:30 - 12:00 | UUEstrie – Sanctuary (Upstairs), 201 Rue Main, North Hatley, QC, J0B 2C0, Canada
In several amendments to the Indian Act, the federal government reinforced the assimilation of Indigenous people by forbidding their cultural and spiritual ceremonies. Activities we see today at Native gatherings like smudging, Pipe ceremonies, sweats lodges, etc. were legally forbidden until 1951 when the federal restrictions were finally lifted. This PowerPoint presentation reviews these spiritual practices and questions why this attempt at cultural genocide was allowed to happen. (Service Leader: Gudrun Brand. Musician: Kevin Jensen.
Paul-Conrad Carignan is a federally-recognized metis of Anishnabe (Algonquin) and Huron-Wendat heritage. He has been on the Red Road of learning and sharing his Indigenous heritage for over 25 years. A Franco-Ontarian by birth, he presently lives in the Eastern Townships.
~~~~~~~~~~
Dans plusieurs amendements à la Loi sur les Indiens, le gouvernement fédéral a renforcé l’assimilation des peuples autochtones en interdisant leurs cérémonies culturelles et spirituelles. Les activités que nous voyons aujourd’hui lors de rassemblements amérindiens, comme la purification, les cérémonies du calumet, les pavillons de sueurs, etc., étaient interdites par la loi jusqu’en 1951, date à laquelle les restrictions fédérales ont finalement été levées. Cette présentation PowerPoint examine ces pratiques spirituelles et s’interroge sur les raisons pour lesquelles cette tentative de génocide culturel a été autorisée. (en anglais)(Responsable du service : Gudrun Brand. Musicien : Kevin Jensen.
Paul-Conrad Carignan est un métis reconnu par le gouvernement fédéral, du patrimoine anishnabe (Algonquin) et huron-wendat. Il est sur le sentier rouge de l’apprentissage et du partage de son héritage autochtone depuis plus de 25 ans. Franco-ontarien de naissance, il vit actuellement dans les Cantons de l’Est.

Soundwalk - outdoor service at the church - with Ryan Frizzell
2022-09-25 10:30 - 12:00 | UUEstrie – Sanctuary (Upstairs), 201 Rue Main, North Hatley, QC, J0B 2C0, Canada
A Sound Walk is…
a listening exercise that helps us become aware
of our immediate acoustic environment.
It is also about the aesthetic pleasures of listening.
Listening to sounds we might otherwise have missed;
listening to the rhythm of sounds;
listening for the unique ‘voice’ of a city.
It’s about enjoying the sensual beauty and sheer surprise
of sound…
– From hildegardwesterkamp.ca
We will take a 20 minute easy walk in North Hatley to experience the sounds around us. In the event of rain, we will go inside the church for a sharing service.
