Are you yearning for greater depth in your spiritual life? Delve deeper with Rev. John Buehrens. ATTEND IN-PERSON
OR VIRTUALLY!

This year’s spiritual theme is, Transcendentalism. The first Unitarian Transcendentalist on the Pacific Coast, as of early 1860, was the Rev. Thomas Starr King. He gave the first Unitarian lectures in Portland in 1862. He also exemplified key spiritual practices of the Transcendentalists that need renewal among us today: personal reflection (often in the form of keeping a journal), and deep interpersonal connections crossing conventional boundaries.
