In the middle of our dark Alaskan winter, the Hanukkah story teaches us to be on the lookout for ordinary miracles. Let’s celebrate the Jewish Festival of Lights in community with story, ritual, and song.

Speaker:  Joan Naviyuk Kane Lay Leader: Jana Peirce, lay leader Music: Marsha Sousa

Joan Naviyuk Kane is an Iñupiaq poet from Anchorage with family from King Island (Ugiuvak) and Mary’s Igloo (Qawairaq), who currently lives, teaches, writes, and single parents in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Through her work, Joan explores the shifting terrain of Indigenous experience, family, place and identity. Rooted deeply in the landscapes of the north, her lyrical poems give vivid form to the feelings of loss and dislocation that ensue from trauma – personal, cultural, ecological and historical – but also post “landmarks through language” to help us survive and move through them. Writing itself becomes an act of persistence. The winner of Whiting Writers’ Award and Donald Hall Prize in Poetry, among many other honors, Joan has just published her eighth book of poetry, “Dark Traffic.” She will read from her work and talk about the intersection of life and craft and of persisting in an age of transformation. You can find her books from an Indie bookstore near you at https://www.indiebound.org/search/book?keys=author%3AKane%2C%20Joan%20 Naviyuk

“The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don’t know.” —Albert Einstein

We live in a moment of unparalleled scientific knowledge and technological advancement. And yet each discovery teaches us how much more there is to learn. In honor of Carl Sagan’s birthday, let’s explore the wonder and mystery of our numinous universe, and the “pale blue dot” upon which we reside.

For the last four years, the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has placed a renewed emphasis on decentering white supremist culture. As part of this, many congregations have adopted an 8th Principle which seeks to explicitly make anti-oppression and anti-racism a part of our UU Principles. Is this work something that AUUF wants to do more explicitly, what are the challenges of developing this kind of relationship, and how would we go about doing this?
