Event Type

Are y’all ready to get grounded, get connected and get started?!

UUCC is hosting an in-depth training for our congregation and wider community. The workshop will be led by Jennifer Hofmann, a renowned movement builder who regularly inspires and mobilizes over 50,000 activists all over the world.

This workshop is a chance for us to be together as we ground ourselves in the very necessary work ahead. We believe being grounded, skilful, and strategic is crucially important for us as a faith community and as people who care about this country.

Would you like to join us? If so, click here to sign-up! Note: the workshop is offered free of charge; we will collect an offering at the event to show gratitude and to support Jennifer’s ongoing, extraordinary work.

Below you’ll find the schedule, a workshop description, and our facilitator’s bio. We feel so fortunate that Jennifer has agreed to zoom in from Portugal to be with us.

Workshop Schedule

We will gather in the UUCC sanctuary after worship on Sunday, Feb. 23. Light refreshments will be available; feel free to bring your own brown bag lunch.

  • 3 to 3:30 p.m. – Next Steps & Closing

Event Description

Empowered Resistance is a workshop for those seeking a grounded, compassionate approach to activism in uncertain times. Instead of efforts fueled by anger or anxiety, this workshop helps you draw strength from love, justice for community, and for the values that matter most. You’ll learn time-tested strategies to stay engaged without burning out, focus your energy where it’s most needed, and cultivate resilience for the road ahead. Sign up to move forward with courage, clarity, and heart.
