Brochure 2008 FINAL revised 021708
We are the Unitarian Universalist Mid-Atlantic Community. We gather each summer to learn, grow, retreat, and recreate together. We are open to people of all ages, races, abilities, genders, and sexual identities and orientations. UUMAC is intergenerational and our recreation is playful for everyone. For some, UUMAC is an ever-expanding family reunion, as we watch our children grow and mark the passing of dear ones. For others, UUMAC is an opportunity for rest and renewal, with quiet conversations and long evenings watching shifting clouds drift over rolling hills. Many seek intellectual discussion and the exchange of ideas. Most enjoy lively camaraderie on hikes, on bikes, while rafting or crafting, moving in line, or dancing out of step. Come alone or bring the whole family. town. The campus features air-conditioned dorms and classrooms. Handicapped-accessible rooms are available. The food court offers a wide menu selection. The UUMAC program enables all ages to have quality time with their peers, as well as interaction among age groups. We offer a wide variety of on- and off-campus activities, and we bring everyone together for Contra Dancing, Carnival, Auction, and Showcase. Night Owls (middle school through adults) join in the community hall for games, music, dancing, and refreshments. Come explore life’s mysteries, share stories and life journeys, and experience the uniqueness of the individual within a loving, all-age community. Join us at UUMAC this July! We gather on the comfortable campus of DeSales University in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, about five miles southeast of Allen- CHILDREN’S & TWEENS’ PROGRAM (Infants through 8th grade) Each year we hear many wonderful and positive comments from both parents and children about our Children’s Program. Our mornings begin with an intergenerational worship service. Classes meet daily from 9:00 A.M. to noon, where, through games, crafts, activities, and music, the children will learn, grow, and have fun in their own ageappropriate classes. In keeping with our theme, “To Be is To Become,” the children will focus on who we are, what has importance, how our faith helps us know how to live, and learning about a simple view of process theology. This year’s Children’s Program Director, Robin Slaw, has been a member of UUMAC since 2001. She served as one of our youth group leaders for three years, was a DRE for five years, and is currently working on a Master of Arts in Teaching. Robin attends the Skylands UU Fellowship in northwest New Jersey. Also returning is Ed Crowley, who has led the children in song since 1999. This has become a richly creative and positive experience for the children. Thanks to Ed, music plays a significant role in the Children’s Program. Ed is an educator in Maryland; he attends the Paint Branch UU Church in Adelphi, MD. meaning of my death? Through community building, worship, learning, leadership, and faith-in-action experiences, youth will connect with themselves and each other. They also join the adults in selecting a workshop to attend throughout the week. Chris Buja and Steve Treseler, returning for their second year as co-coordinators, and Ben Barrows, Gabe Harris, and Julia Stratton, as youth leaders, will guide the youth into a transformed community. ADULT PROGRAM For adults and youth, mornings at UUMAC are a time for stimulation and growth. Following the intergenerational portion of morning worship, the children go to their own age-appropriate programs, and the adults and youth continue their worship service. Afterwards, the Theme Speaker presents a talk on this summer’s theme. Adults and youth complete their morning by dispersing into smaller groups to develop their creative, intellectual, spiritual, socially active, or physical sides in the workshops they have selected. YOUNG ADULT PROGRAM (Ages 18 to 35) YOUTH PROGRAM (Grades 9 through 12) Has a movie ever left you feeling “enlightened”? Could a TV show like “The Simpsons” be a source of wisdom? Has pop music answered life’s questions in ways words cannot? Has a novel changed your life after reading it? Youth will have the opportunity to explore their own answers to the grand questions of life, the universe, and everything else, with “prompting” from an array of multimedia: films, TV, music, literature. Questions such as: What is the nature of humanity? How do I know what I know to be true? Who or what is in charge? What is my purpose in life? What is the The Young Adults have the opportunity to participate in the larger intergenerational community while also sharing in the experience of a welcoming group of peers. They engage with the rest of the community for workshops and worships, and they also participate in off-campus activities together and share many bonding experiences. Newcomers are always welcome, and we look forward to meeting you! FINANCIAL AID IS AVAILABLE FOR ATTENDANCE AT UUMAC. SEE PAGE 7 FOR DETAILS. To Be Is to Become: Process Philosophy for Spiritual Practice and Faithful Action Theme Speakers: Rev. Mary Katherine Morn and Dr. John A Rakestraw, Jr. Who and what are we? What has ultimate value? How do we make sense of the world? How do we live our faith? These are the questions we will explore during the week through Process Philosophy. Process Philosophy rejects the classic understandings of reality as “timeless being” and embraces instead a dynamic becoming. This has implications for our understanding of ultimate reality as well as our understanding of ourselves. Woven into the philosophical and theological discussions will be explorations for spiritual practice and faithful action. John Rakestraw is the Director of Faculty Programming at the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship and a Lecturer in the Theology Department at Georgetown University. He received his PhD in Religious Studies at Southern Methodist University and taught philosophy and religious studies at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia. Mary Katherine Morn is the Parish Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax, Virginia. Previously, she served congregations in Nashville, Tennessee, and Macon, Georgia. She received her Master of Divinity at Southern Methodist University and was ordained in 1987. Music is one of the great loves in their home. John plays guitar and sings; Mary Katherine plays piano, and their 14-year-old son, Caleb, plays trumpet. This is Mary Katherine and John’s first time at UUMAC and the first time they are doing a program like this together. Mary Katherine has previously provided leadership at Star Island and at SUUSI. The family has a “large, jolly yellow Lab” and a 16year-old cat. Minister of the Week: Rev. Virginia Jarocha-Ernst Ceremonies and daily worship at UUMAC ‘08 will be led by Rev. Virginia. She is the Family inister at Main Line Unitarian Church in Devon, PA. Her ministry focuses on faith development, lifespan learning for children, youth, and adults, and on families of all kinds. In addition to her religious education responsibilities, she is available for rites of passage and pastoral care. She leads common worship once a month and is the minister responsible for the Small Group Ministry Program at MLUC. Rev. Virginia is a graduate of MeadvilleLombard Theological School in Chicago and has served congregations in Bethlehem, PA, and Somerset Hills, NJ. She was the program consultant for the Joseph Priestley District before coming to MLUC in 2002. Virginia and her husband, Chris, live in Devon with their daughter, Beatrice, 22, dog Aurora, and cat, Serra. Their son Alex, 24, is a frequent visitor. 2 All workshops meet Monday through Friday, 10:30 A.M. to noon. Select one to attend throughout the week. (Please indicate both a a first and a second choice in case your first choice is filled or cancelled.) apart from being a long-time UUMACer and a “ charismatic dork,” has also been training in capoeira since April 2007. Last September, he founded the University of Maryland Baltimore County Capoeira Club, of which he is also the President. He trains four days a week and occasionally teaches on very short notice. Human beings have celebrated their spirituality for thousands of years through the use of arts and ritual, making their experiences “special” and thereby creating meaning for their lives. Gift your spirit with the chance to play, create, and renew. Let the arts of collage, writing, and ritual help you to explore your personal spirituality through the creation of your own sacred book, a personal shrine with the sacred text and images of your own making. Take an old book and make it new by pouring yourself and your spirit into it. Use paint, rubber stamps, special papers, transfer techniques, niches, and beads to transform the pages into a personal work of art that expresses your process of spirituality. You do not have to consider yourself an artist to play. Unitarian Universalists believe that we are each a blessed gesture of creation, that we are, essentially, an expression of God. This workshop is designed to ignite that divine spark within and give it voice in varied liturgical forms: invocations, benedictions, prayers, blessings, psalms, beatitudes, and forms of grace. We will not only be writing, though. To get to that place of truth, we will surprise ourselves out of our stuck places with creative exercises. Come ready to move, experiment, express, and behold. There is sacred knowledge in each of us. Find it and share it with others. NOTE: Watch for the list of materials to bring for this workshop in your registration packet. Materials fee per participant: $10.00 teaches spirituality and arts courses in the Worship and Theology Arts Department at Andover Newton Theological School in Newton, MA, and is the primary motivating force behind the UU Montessori-based Spirit Play religious education program. She believes that our spirituality, the essence of who we are, is deeply connected with our creativity, the expression of that essence into the world. She sees these connections as the inner and outer, the yin and yang, the being and doing of life. She sees her work as a ministry of empowering others to find their spirit and express it openly in their lives, to guide them to an awareness of their own deep core and to give them the invitation they need to play, create, and renew through the arts. currently serves the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Harford County in Churchville, MD. She lives with her husband and two children in Havre de Grace, MD. A graduate of Union Theological Seminary in New York City (1991), Rev. Ward has served churches in Manhattan, Queens, and White Plains, NY. Her intermittent years at UUMAC include teaching Creative Spirituality in the Adult Ed series, serving as Minister of the Week, and participating as Theme Speaker (2007). Her earlier background is in theatre and film. This new and exciting workshop means that anything can happen anytime, anywhere, at UUMAC. We will work with chance methodologies of other artists but the main focus of each class is to explore the unique creative energy of each individual. Designers and participants play equal roles in inventing happenings. The environment, props, poetry, music, art, and . . . ? can be part of the creative process. Each class includes movement activities. Wear comfortable clothing; shoes may be helpful. No previous experience necessary. Be prepared to have fun. Capoeira é luta é dança! Capoeira é arte é magia! More specifically, Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art form that teaches Respeito (Respect), Responsibilidade (Responsibility), Segurança (Safety), Malicia (Trickery/Cleverness), and Liberdade (Freedom/Liberty). In learning to play capoeira, participants will learn movements (attacks, dodges, movements, flourishes, acrobatics, etc.), sing songs (in Brazilian Portuguese), play musical instruments (semi-optional), and maybe even learn a little Brazilian history from a semi-reliable source. Participants need not have prior experience, be in peak physical condition, or be musically inclined, but should be able to do some aerobic exercise for about an hour and a half. Vem jogar.

She is a single mom with three daughters, ages 10-16. This is their 4th year at UUMAC. Are you thinking about getting more active but are afraid to start? Do you have injuries or chronic physical concerns? Gentle yoga is a safe way to gain strength and flexibility. We will start gently at your current ability level. You can bring a yoga mat or, if you can’t get up and down, you can use a chair. I will demonstrate modifications for different abilities. We will also learn other healing modalities, such as qi-gong, a gentle Chinese technique that increases vitality. We will practice seated stretching, which you can incorporate at home, or while working at the computer. Whether you have practiced yoga before, or are new to yoga, we will be learning new ways of moving our bodies. Wear comfortable clothing. How do we develop and keep a spiritual practice? Jon Kabat-Zinn wisely says we “just do it”--particularly forms of meditation and prayer, and consider other practices as well. We start from where you are in your life, whether you have meditated or prayed for some time, are just beginning, have started and stopped, or have never tried. We’ll consider difficulties you may have encountered getting started or keeping a commitment to a practice. This workshop is for people who seek a deeper relationship with the great mystery at the heart of life--however they name that--or who simply wish to live with greater daily awareness and attention. is a massage therapist and yoga teacher, and a former DRE.

Now living in Maine, she focuses on a ministry of spiritual direction and retreats, and writes. Her poetry and prose have been/will be published in UU publications, spiritual journals, and the Portland, ME, newspaper. She keeps a daily spiritual practice of prayer, meditation, and yoga, and finds support for the spiritual life also in walking, gardening, reading, and journaling. “In The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community, David Korten argues that corporate consolidation of power is merely a contemporary manifestation of what he defines as ‘Empire’--the organization of society by hierarchies of domination grounded in violent chauvinisms of race, gender, religion, nationality, language, and class. The result has been the same for 5,000 years--fortune for the few and misery for the many. Now, thanks to modern technologies, the way of Empire is increasingly destructive to children, family, community, and nature itself, rapidly leading us all to the brink of worldwide environmental and social collapse. Korten makes the case that we are a species with the power of choice, and that at this defining moment in history, humanity faces both the opportunity and the imperative to choose our future in a conscious collective manner.” In this workshop, facilitator Naomi Drew asks us to assume the perspective of soul-searching citizens of the planet to discuss what we can do as people and as UUs to effect change where it is most needed. NOTE: All participants are asked to read The Great Turning prior to the workshop. Please bring the book and a notebook with you. Sankalpa is a Sanskrit word that means intention, resolve or resolution. We will each form our own Intention to support with a variety of Yoga practices. We will have a fast paced and challenging asana (postures) practice, learn some pranayama (breath work), and do guided meditations and Kriyas (purification techniques). We'll end with Yoga Nidra, a guided deep relaxation practice to connect our Intention to the deepest part of ourselves. No yoga experience is necessary, but good physical health is. Those with major injuries, illness, serious medical conditions, or simply quite out of shape, should take the Gentle Yoga class. This will be a physically challenging class. If you are unsure about your ability to participate, please contact the instructor (301-681-3669). Please bring: Yoga sticky mat (NOT foam exercise mat), firm blanket, soft belt or tie, wash cloth or eye bag. has taught Yoga for 8 years.

Her enthusiastic, and playful teaching style is balanced by her solid knowledge of alignment, meditation, author and speaker, invites you to join her for a stimulating week of discussion, reflection, and brainstorming based on our reading of The Great Turning. This workshop promises to raise consciousness, inspire, and position us to make new choices.

Cindy loves bringing the joy of quilting to non-quilters. If you like to raise your heart rate in the morning so that you’ll feel great in the afternoon, then this is the workshop for you. Join us for beach volleyball, dodge ball, whiffle ball, frisbee, and flag football. We’ll also be playing some traditional games, such as kick-the-can, red rover, redlight/green light, mother may I, and many others. If you have a favorite playground game in mind, bring it with you and we’ll give it a whirl. The focus of this workshop is to get a little exercise and have a lot of fun. the parent of three teens and a lifelong athlete, is bringing her enthusiasm for the joy of sport to UUMAC this year.

We will learn to utilize circles to name and A TYPICAL UUMAC DAY And she wants to improvise a UUMAC orchestra this year! All instrumentalists, whether you play tuba or violin or anything else, “bring your stuff.” Why not learn “Spirit of Life” for the opening service? It will sound great! She’s also bringing small amps for jamming at night and wants to “really get something going.” Brooksie has some other ideas, including writing a song to perform at the end of the week and finding out from the Minister of the Week some of her hymn choices so the orchestra can play them, but she also wants to hear from .
