You are invited to join your sisters to celebrate life, friendship, and sisterhood for our 12th year at Hope Springs! If you identify as an adult woman of Heritage Universalist Unitarian Church over the age of 18, you are encouraged to take time out with the women of Heritage to nurture our spiritual selves, our friendships, and our bond as women. Spiritual exercises and workshops, crafts, song, amazing food, intimate discussion groups, nature hikes and more make this a weekend about connecting. There is also time for self-reflection and rejuvenation on your own – you are always at choice!
Cost: $290 includes all meals including dinner Friday through lunch on Sunday. Hope Springs Institute is open to Heritage women from 1 p.m. on Friday through 3 p.m. on Sunday. However, you may come as your schedule allows.

Meets the 2nd Tuesday of every monthWe have recently gone through a process of discernment. Through consensus we celebrate this process and the place at which we have arrived. A new circle has been created, called SING OUT SISTERS. Sing Out Sisters will meet at Heritage on the second Tuesday of each month, and is open to any person who identifies as a woman.
We are women who gather in circle to create sacred space through song. We sing simple songs and chants to celebrate the Divine Feminine and honor the lives of all women. Our themes include cycles of nature, cycles of life, women’s mysteries, community, and healing. We affirm that any woman can sing and all who identify as women are welcome.
We have free membership and communal leadership, and no musical experience is necessary. We learn music through listening and repetition within a supportive sisterhood. Feel free to bring an altar item as we co-create the altar. We begin to sing at 7:00 and conclude by 8:30. We follow the guidelines of the church board which currently says masks and vaccines are optional. Childcare is not provided, however children are welcome to sing in our circle or to play quietly outside the circle. Contact Tracy Jo for more information or the zoom link at (513) 310-9029 or:

Tuesdays, 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.This group is for all women members and friends of Heritage. We meet on Tuesdays at 11:30 a.m. in the Great Hall. This is a gentle support group that gives each of us the confidence to make better choices regarding our health. It includes but is not limited to healthy weight.
We each bring a brown bag lunch and socialize while we eat. We then have an opportunity to share our challenges and successes regarding living a healthy life. No cost, no scales, no judgement, just fellowship and encouragement on your journey to a vibrant and sound body, mind and spirit. We welcome any woman who has a desire to make better choices in any area of her life.

You’ve heard about Midweek Mindfulness. Maybe now is the time to recommit to this powerful, transformative, very easy and quick spiritual practice. Set a recurring reminder on your phone for 12:30 each Wednesday. Then join others in the Heritage community (and literally around the world) in five minutes – just five minutes – of mindfulness. Take a break, right in the middle of your busy and stressful week, from 12:30-12:35 p.m. each Wednesday, to breathe. To rest. To meditate. To be. Stop and smell the roses. Look at the clouds passing overhead, or a flower in the grass (or on your desk). And know, as you are doing it, that many others are doing the same. Join them in mindfulness and spiritual connection.
