Sign up now for a spot in a Connection Circle, our small groups which meet to give us away to get to know each other on a deeper level through sharing and listening.
USSB has a Facebook page! The Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara group enables our community to share news and information easily, and unlike the website, anyone can post to the Facebook group discussions.
If you already have a Facebook account, search for the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara group using the search window on the upper right corner of the screen. Once you've found us, click "join this group," under the drawing of the front entrance, and you're in! You don't have to be a member of the Society to join this group.
If you don't have a Facebook account, it's easy and free. All you need in an email address.

Connection Circles are small facilitated groups that meet twice a month over a period of nine months. Meetings are an hour and a half long. They usually take place in group members' homes. Through sharing personal connections with themes such as courage, love, hope and belonging, group members form lasting connections with one another. This past year over 100 members participated, and this coming year we expect that number to grow. You may indicate your interest by signing up at the Connection Circles table in the garden, by emailing
