Free to Believe

Free to Believe is an experiential program designed to nurture the emotional, social, and spiritual life of our 6- and 7-year-olds. The first two-thirds of Free to Believe uses the Unitarian Universalist principles as starting points for exploring values, beliefs, and what it means to be Unitarian Universalist. The last third of the program examines some "big questions" through the perspective of the sources of our faith. Lessons include experiences that nurture and enrich children's spiritual development, including a variety of meditations, ritural chalice lightings and closings, and opportunities to explore the wonders of nature. This curriculum also takes into account different learning styles by including a variety of activities related to many of the the different intelligences.
