Amplify-UU
Upgrading our sound and visual equipment in the sanctuary will greatly improve the overall experience of our services, especially for the hard-of-hearing. 
With our new equipment we will be able to invite guest speakers to our sanctuary, or view them at home, from anywhere in the world.

The program this fall (phase one, called “Within”) runs mid-September through mid-December, and includes:
- Individual study of videos and readings, accompanied by reflection prompts
- conversations with a “critical friend” chosen by the participant
- Bi-weekly small group conversations in a “learning pod” with other UUs across the continent
- Larger, monthly, ‘meaning making sessions,’ facilitated by Beloved Conversations staff
The “Within” work is different for White folks and for Black, Indigenous and other People of Color and will be done entirely in race-based caucuses.
“…this is a program for Unitarian Universalists who are seeking to embody racial justice as a spiritual practice. We believe that we are here to heal the impact of racism on our lives in order to get free together. Beloved conversations is intended to be a tool in your toolbox, for you as an individual, and [as] a part of a congregation, to eradicate white supremacy, to work to become anti-racist, and to make our faith a welcoming place for everyone.” – Rev. Kierstin Homblette Allen, co-creator of Beloved Conversations
