Set aside some time to play & reconnect with your inner child. Allow P.L. Travers' Cosmic Nanny, Mary Poppins, to remind you of what you used to know so well when you were younger. We will explore some of this fascinating character's most interesting lessons, discover some keys to staying young & have a lot of fun in the process. "I Love to Laugh," and if you do too, this just might be the class for you.
About Jo: Having been inspired 2 years ago by a sermon about Mary Poppins at the Unitarian Fellowship in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, longtime children's RE teacher, Jo Saxon, decided to bring the subject of the Great Cosmic Nanny to the adult RE community.

This is a UU Theology curriculum created for the UU Tapestry of Faith program by noted theologian, Rev. Dr. Thandeka.
From the Tapestry of Faith website: Providing a framework for deep and longtime Unitarian Universalists to engage in theological reflection, not as an intellectual exercise, but as a process of meaning-making that equips one for living in the world as a Unitarian Universalist person of faith, this program explores the life experiences of both historic and contemporary Unitarian Universalist theologians, highlighting that which caused in them a change of heart, a new direction, new hope, and a deeper understanding of their own liberal faith. These workshops offer participants a chance to engage with and bring their personal experiences to bear on the very questions explored by each theologian in turn. The program offers a pathway for developing not only one’s own personal theology but also one’s deep understanding of the threads of our Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist theological heritage.
