January Full Moon Ritual
2020-01-11 17:00 - 19:00 | MqtUU Meeting House, 1510 M-28 East, Marquette, MI, 49855, United States
Gather with us to celebrate the ascension of the Full Moon at the Unitarian Universalist Meeting Hall located just outside of Marquette.
Ritual will promptly start at 5:30
January’s full Wolf moon is in Cancer. Your feeling of safety is now related to your home, family and related activities such as cooking and gardening. You may be prone to emotional fluctuations; you should learn to forgive and forget in order to avoid depression from thinking too much about things. Your perception of the world can be very subjective; try to create a certain distance without being bitter. Due to your rich emotional manifestation you can create a real sense of belonging in the world.
The full Moon names come from Native American groups, Colonial Americans, or other traditional North American names passed down through generations.
The full Moon for January was called the Full Wolf Moon because wolves were more often heard at this time. It was traditionally thought that they howled due to hunger, but there is no evidence for this. However, wolves do tend to howl more often during winter months, and generally howl to define territory, locate pack members, and gather for hunting.
Other traditional names for the January Moon include: the Cold Moon, the Old Moon, and the Great Spirit Moon.

UU Yoopers Read Together
2020-04-07 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom
Book Discussion Group

A UU book discussion group via Zoom is starting up, called “UU Yoopers Read Together.” If you are interested in being a part of the group, please take the following poll so we can collectively choose our first book. Note that all three books are available via Kindle, audiobook, and in print forms, but don’t forget about your local booksellers, too, as you may still be able to support them in some way. The poll will be open until Saturday, April 4th, at midnight, find the link HERE

Email Jamie at jkuehnl@nmu.edu stating your interest to be included in upcoming discussions. My first email to you will be on Sunday, April 5th, to share which book we’ve chosen to discuss first. Then, we’ll meet each Tuesday, at 7 pm at this ZOOM LINK
Schedule:
Tuesday, April 7………7 pm Meet and Greet, sharing of favorite books/authors, a brief intro to our 1st author
Tuesday, April 14……7 pm Discuss the first ½ of our 1st chosen book
Tuesday, April 21……7 pm Discuss the second ½ of our 1st chosen book
Tuesday, April 28……7 pm Discussion of next possible text & discussion leader/s
Do feel free to share this with other UU friends and family of the UP. We’ll keep our group within those parameters, though, so we can easily reference that which we share in common, like our UU Principles & Sources, flora, and fauna of the UP, our Great Lakes, etc. If, after our first meeting, we feel our group is too small or too big, we can adjust as we see fit. I really hope that we get some teens and young adults in this group, too!
A bit about me…I am a long time member of the Marquette Unitarian Universalist Congregation and have been teaching for Northern Michigan University’s English Department for 16 years and Center for Native American Studies for 7 years. I’ve taught several Good Books classes and would be happy to take an initial role in leading the discussion of our first book.
