Annual Burning Bowl Communion Service
The Burning Bowl Communion is a unique Unitarian Universalist ritual to bid farewell to the old year, and to release it.
Cindy Wright is a lifelong seeker whose spiritual path is rooted in wonder, creativity, and a deep reverence for the interconnected web of all existence. Her beliefs draw from both science and spirituality: she envisions the possibility of one great soul of the universe, made up of many parts, in which all beings are sacred expressions of the same whole. As a deep ecologist, Cindy sees humanity as an inseparable part of nature, bound together with other animals, plants, and the earth itself in a living, breathing community of life.
A member of the Unitarian Universalist Community of Casper, Cindy previously served three years as President of the Board of Trustees. She is passionate about fostering connection, building community, and creating spaces where people can explore meaning, grow spiritually, and support one another.
Professionally, Cindy works as an electrical engineer at a local utility, where she applies her skills in infrastructure resilience and process improvement. She is also Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) trained and committed to practical service and community preparedness.
Outside of work, Cindy’s curiosity leads her in many creative directions. She enjoys painting, woodworking, computer programming, website design, and learning new instruments. Martial arts, especially Aiki-Budo, bring balance and focus to her life. She also loves being outdoors—hiking and camping in Wyoming’s mountains during the summer, and spending winter months immersed in creative projects.
At the heart of all her endeavors is a spirit of exploration—seeking truth, expressing creativity, and honoring the sacredness of life in all its forms.

Weaving has long been used as a metaphor to symbolize fate, community, and even the fabric of space-time. What are the binding threads of community? Why bother to weave a cloth of fellowship?
