PARTICIPANT GUIDE
“Chalice Circles are wonderful way to get to know a few folks from the
​church more deeply but in a smaller and more intimate setting than the services.”

                                                
                                                  – Merrill Aldrich
Chalice Circles offer a way to connect with a small group of Unity Church members through the spiritual practice of guided conversation. The circles are designed to nurture spiritual growth through deep sharing, disciplined listening, and heartfelt appreciation for what each participant has to share.

Each month, participants receive a packet aligned with the month’s theological theme that includes spiritual practices, questions to ponder, and optional theme-related resources such as readings, podcasts, and short videos. Each participant chooses one theme-related spiritual exercise to spend at least one hour with per week for several weeks. Near the end of the month, participants gather with their circle of six or so members to listen to each other’s experiences and share their own.

Participants can choose to join a circle in-person at Unity Church or online via Zoom.
​
For registration questions, contact Madeline Summers at madeline@unityunitarian.org; for questions about the chalice circle process and practices, contact Ellen Merlin at ellen.merlin@gmail.com.
“Chalice Circles are inspiring, challenging, supportive, fun, and a great way to grow spiritually”
