Adult Spiritual Development

USG offers an eclectic selection of courses each semester to provide participants the opportunity to explore our spirituality and develop community. Some courses explore our UU heritage and values; others involve a much broader and sometimes untraditional approach. Courses may be experiential or more didactic. Generally they may include anything that is intended to deepen the participants' knowledge and understanding of our UU foundations, or connection to our deeper selves, the greater world, or the essential mystery of life.
