Topic: Earth-Centered

At UU Casper, we honor the rhythms of the natural world and the wisdom of earth-centered traditions. Our Earth-Centered services draw inspiration from seasonal cycles, indigenous teachings, pagan practices, and the deep interconnectedness of all life.

These services invite us to slow down, notice the turning of the seasons, and celebrate the sacredness of the earth. Through ritual, music, story, and reflection, we cultivate gratitude for the gifts of nature and renew our commitment to care for the planet we call home.

In keeping with our Unitarian Universalist values, Earth-Centered services are inclusive, intergenerational, and open to all who seek deeper connection with the natural world and its enduring cycles of life, death, and renewal.
