About Edmonton Unitarian Universalists

Edmonton Unitarian Universalists (EUU), where ancient traditions meet modern inclusivity.

At EUU, our mornings are filled with diverse experiences—from music, talk/presentation, sometimes by a minister but often by our members or invited guest speakers and hymns to talks and moments for meditation. We conclude each service with opportunities for conversation and reflection, fostering a sense of connection and community.

Our community draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of ancient pagan religions, as evidenced by anthropological research, archaeological findings, and classical historical accounts. These influences shape our contemporary practices, known as modern paganism or neopaganism. Here at EUU, we celebrate diversity and seek spiritual growth through inclusive rituals and transformative experiences.

The mission of EUU is rooted in social justice, challenging norms, and fostering community engagement. We invite everyone to our table, offering:

• Spiritual Growth and Transformation: Through rituals like singing, chanting, dancing, and meditation, we create spaces where magic and personal growth thrive.
• Learning and Outreach: We provide workshops and educational opportunities that empower individuals to carry the spirit of our rituals into their daily lives.
• Inclusivity and Support: Our community welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds, guided by the principles of Unitarian Universalism.
• Action for Social Justice: We actively support causes that promote equality and healing in our world.

Our rituals are diverse, drawing from traditions such as Wicca, Druidry, Kemetic paganism, and more. Each ritual is designed to be accessible, whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to our traditions. Central to our gatherings is the lighting of the chalice, symbolizing our connection with Unitarian Universalist congregations worldwide.

We encourage you to join us in attire that reflects your comfort and celebration, whether it's casual or adorned with "pagan finery." Our services, held in varied formats and settings, typically include music, reflection, and communal sharing. We collect offerings to sustain our community, covering essential expenses and supporting our shared mission.

Join us at EUU, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary inclusivity, and together, we strive for spiritual enlightenment and social change.
