WHAT IS UUMAC?
Unitarian Universalist Mid Atlantic Community
UUMAC is Community. We welcome you to participate in
our week-long gathering. We are open to people of all ages,
races, abilities, genders, sexual identities and orientation.
UUMAC is intergenerational and our recreation is playful
for all ages. Some bring their grandchildren to experience a
“family reunion” as we watch each other grow and mature.
Others seek quiet conversations while shifting clouds drift
over the rolling hills. Many seek intellectual discussion and
the exchange of ideas in humorous
and creative ways. Most seek lively camaraderie in hikes or on bikes, while
rafting or crafting, moving in line or
dancing out of step. Come alone, or
bring the whole family.
We can assign a “buddy” to orient firsttimers to our community. The UUMAC
experience is the uniqueness of the individual within a loving all-age community.
of De Sales University in Center Valley, Pennsylvania, about
five miles southeast of Allentown. The campus features airconditioned dorms and classrooms. Handicapped accessible
rooms are available. The new food court will offer a wide menu
selection.
The UUMAC program allows children, youth, and adults to
have quality time with their own peers. In the afternoon and
evening, our programming promotes interaction among age
groups. We offer a full menu of off-campus activities and a
variety of games on-campus. We bring everyone together for
Dancing, Carnival, Auction, Concert, and Showcase. Night
Owls (middle school through adults) join in the community
hall to make puzzles, play games, and
to merrily eat, drink, dance, and sing.
Come explore life’s mysteries from new
births to passing of dear friends. Share
stories and life journeys. Take the time
to know each other and enjoy this time
together.
We hope you will join us at UUMAC
this July, 2004.
We gather on the comfortable campus

Young Adult Program The Young Adult Group at UUMAC is the best of both worlds: the opportunity to participate in the larger
intergenerational community, while sharing in the experience of a welcoming group of peers. YAs live in a separate area, and
engage with the rest of the community for workshops and worships. The YAs also take part in off-campus activities together, as
a chance to bond and grow together. We look forward to meeting many newcomers this year! Darryll Duane is the YA Coordinator.

FINDING HOPE IN TIMES SUCH AS THESE
A UU theology that just might change the world.
Rev. John Morehouse
Theme Speaker
The first years of the new millennium have been difficult and challenging ones for religious liberals.
Many of us fear that our voices and
our dreams are being overwhelmed
in a rapidly changing world – a world
that seems headed for more conservatism, more fundamentalism, more
danger. We grapple for answers.
How do we maintain our faith and
our balance? What do we tell our
children?
humor, to bear on the
issues that are shaking, and shaping, our lives. John has
lived in India and traveled around
the world. He is the founder of the
Frederick Interfaith Network as well
as an evangelist for Unitarian Universalism. John, along with his wife
Frances and their five daughters,
spent the last ten years growing by
fourfold the membership of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of
Frederick, MD. In May of 2003 the
congregation moved into its new
11,000-square-foot church. John also serves as
the consulting minister of the UU Church of
Loudoun, VA.
As a community organizer who
seeks to bring a spiritual dimension in the broadest sense to the work of changing our communities, the Rev. John Morehouse insists that starting with our own ground of meaning is vital to
finding hope and changing our world. His theme
talks will help us work toward a UU theology that
just might change the world.
Among the subjects John will cover, as we work
toward our theology of hope, are inherent worth
and dignity; the complexity of religion, culture
and politics in the world today and how we fit in;
individualism and the importance of communities; and balancing our lives with the need to
make a difference.
John, a fourth generation UU and a minister of
many years, brings his extensive social justice
and spiritual experience, as well as his sense of

A graduate of Meadville/ Lombard Theological School (M.A., D.Min., D.D.), Paul
Johnson has served the Nora UU Church, Hanska, MN, the UU Church of Silver

Congregation of Princeton, Princeton, NJ, and is currently the senior minister of
the UU Congregation at Shelter Rock, Manhasset, NY.
Paul was last year’s Theme Speaker, former workshop presenter (several times)
and served as UUMAC’s board president (1985-1987). We welcome him back as
our Minister of the Week with his wisdom and insight.

UUMAC 2004 – Workshops
All workshops will be scheduled Monday Through Friday 10:30 a.m.-12 noon. Adults attend one.
(Please indicate both a first and second choice in the event that your first choice is filled or canceled.)
1. Where Do We (UUs) Find Hope?
3. Keys to Peaceful Parenting
Building on the theme talks, this workshop will offer participants an opportunity for personal spiritual exploration into the sources of hope in our
faith and in our lives. The UUA Statement of Principles and Purposes identifies six sources for our
living tradition. The first is "direct experience."
Each day we will draw on one of the other five
sources (the Bible, world religions, humanism, the
prophetic tradition, and earth based traditions) for
readings, poems, art and music that will lead
us towards an encounter with people who have
found ways to live hopeful lives in a complicated
world. Each session will include a brief didactic
presentation, a time for sharing of resources, and a
guided meditation and personal response to the
material. Participants are encouraged to bring
favorite readings, music, pictures, etc that are, for
them evocative of hope.
"The starting point for a new reality is
now."...Norman Cousins
How can we help our children grow into happy,
caring people with compassionate hearts? How do
we parent in this complex, violent world and manage to raise kids with a sense of their own inherent worth and dignity, as well as the worth and
dignity of others? We’ll give participants concrete skills
with immediate applicability, including: Defining our
most important priorities; Creating a culture of respect in our homes; Calming from the inside out;
Managing anger; Resolving conflicts peacefully;
Dealing with difficult situations, e.g., tantrums, defiance, teen turbulence; Building compassion and social
conscience in our kids; and Keeping peaceful parenting
alive for the long-term. Course material will be based on
Naomi Drew's most recent books, Peaceful Parents, Peaceful Kids and Hope and Healing: Peaceful Parenting in an
Uncertain World.
Rev. Roberta Finkelstein, a lifelong UU, has served the Unitarian Universalists of Sterling for
the past 7 years. In her former
life she was a nurse-midwife.
Rev. Finkelstein just finished a
6 year term on the UUA Commission on Appraisal, where she
was a co-author of Belonging:
The Meaning of Membership.
She is particularly interested in
the ways that individuals can
bring their stories to our UU
faith communities and weave
them together into our communal faith history.
Naomi Drew is recognized around
the world as an expert on conflict
resolution, peacemaking, and
parenting. Hailed as visionary, her
work has enabled educators, parents, and children to live the skills
of peacemaking on a daily basis.
She leads workshops nationally
and teaches parenting courses.
Her work has been featured in
magazines, newspapers, radio,
and national TV. Ms. Drew is a
parent, a former teacher, and a UU.
4. JUUDO! Physical Self-Defense for Pacifist Unitarian Universalists
2. An Ethic of Right Relations
Judo ("the gentle way") is an Olympic sport, a martial
art, and a method of self-defense. While we hope never
to face a physical attack, we may someday meet a
person who wants to do us harm. This low-impact
introductory course will give participants light aerobic
activity through the teaching of safe falling methods,
submission holds, escapes from grabs, and escapes from
pins. Loose, comfy clothing and a generally good physical condition are prerequisites.
How can we insure that the ways we relate with each
other reflect our UU values? Using readings, small and
large group discussion and teaching we will explore the
nature of our interpersonal relationships within our
church communities. We will also look at conflict resolution and system dynamics in congregations, and
grapple with situations that pose personal, ethical, and
religious dilemmas. We will investigate how the UU principals can be applied to create just, fair and compassionate ways of being with each other. Readings are
drawn from the UUA curriculum Safe Congregations and
other resources.
Laura Shemick holds a second-degree black belt from
the U.S. Judo Association, and has been practicing the
art for 16 years. She teaches the children's class at the
Harrisburg Judo Kai in Harrisburg, PA, and assists in
general instruction at the Lancaster Judo Club in Lititz,
PA. Ms. Shemick also holds a law degree from Villanova
University, and a master's degree in adult education from
Temple University.
Maud Clarke served as Ombudsman at the UU Church
of Silver Spring and worked to create their current ongoing Right Relations Committee. Maud is a Licensed
Clinical Social Worker specializing in crisis intervention
and domestic violence. Formerly, she served as DRE of
the River Road Unitarian Church for nine years.
Hank Dahlstrom, long-time participant in UUMAC, has
been a member of the UU Church of Silver Spring's Right
Relations Committee since its inception. She helped develop An Ethic Of Right Relations workshop which she
co-led at UUCSS last year. She is a Licensed Clinical
Social Worker and has worked with families for over
twenty years.
5. '60s Dance
Remember go-go boots, love beads and hip-huggers?
Even if you can't quite recall the 1960s, you'll get a great
workout in this class. Develop your own '60s movement
style, learn some smooth routines and have fun working
out. Each class begins with a Pilates-based warm-up

which emphasizes strengthening the abdominals and
stretching the extremities, followed by simple traveling
steps which are then incorporated into a dance combination based on a specific style from the 1960s. A gentle
cool-down concludes the class. Wear comfortable clothing -- a mat or thick towel is helpful for floor exercises.
Depending on the floor surface, shoes may be helpful.
All levels welcome.
and a powerful spiritual process that honors a lifetime of
change, growth, love, loss, healing and joy. Fabric pieces
will be available, or you may bring pieces that you have
collected from special people in your life. Materials fee
$15.
Amy Taylor is an ordinary woman living an extraordinary life as a UU in Newark, Delaware. She has presented numerous worship services on spiritual growth,
served as a leader in her congregation for over 15 years,
and facilitates annually at the UNILEAD Leadership
School.
Kay Wylie Jacob is an Artist/Educator with a Ph.D. from
New York University. Her background in performance includes work with Twyla Tharp and ten years as Artistic
Director of the Big Apple Dance Theatre. Currently, she
is a Teaching Artist and Consultant for the Alvin Ailey
Dance Foundation.
10. Yoga for YOUR Life
Safely exploring and stretching on a physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual level. Yoga is an ancient, yet
evolving, tool for growth of the spirit, mind, and body.
We will use the many facets of yoga: breathing, postures
or asanas, and meditation to bring awareness to our lives.
We will cultivate inner calm, balance strength with surrender, and explore ways to cultivate a regular practice
at home. The class will be appropriate for both beginners and experienced yoga practioners. Please dress in
loose comfortable clothing for class and bring a yoga mat.
It’s helpful to be prepared to have layers of clothing since
we can’t always control room temperature.
6. Haptic Meditation: A Series of Mini-Retreats
Do you get fidgety during moments of silence? Does your
mind wander during guided meditation? Haptic meditation is Jo Paoletti's personal approach, using the tactile
aspects of handcrafts to channel kinetic energy and let
the mind focus on a spiritual intention. Bring a simple
quiet project – needlework, paper craft or knitting – or
choose one from those provided. Each session will function as a mini-retreat, with a reading, setting a personal
intention, crafting quietly to music, writing and sharing.
Jo Paoletti, an avid crafter (orgami, acrylic clay, fiber,
needlework) has taught crafts at camps and recreational
programs since she was a teenager. Professionally, she
teaches the art of critical thinking and the craft of writing
through American Studies courses at the University of
Maryland. Her last UUMAC workshop was "The Joy of
Paper Crafts" in 2000.
Kathy Clay has practiced yoga for over 20 years. Much of
her experience has been with the Sivananda tradition.
Her training has been in Integrative Yoga Therapy, an
approach to yoga that bridges the timeless wisdom of yoga
with the new directions of mind-body health and healing.
Kathy enjoys sharing her love of yoga with people who are
new to yoga, and bringing experienced students to new
levels in their practice. Kathy is a Massage Therapist, a
wife and mom, and a former DRE. She is currently studying
Buddhist styles of meditation.
7. Quilting and Conversation
Workshop participants will work together to make a quilt
that will be sold at the benefit auction. The leader will
choose the quilt design and buy the fabrics and other
supplies. Individual blocks (the traditional unit of a quilt)
will be pieced (sewn) before UUMAC. Each day, we will
join the quilt together by hand. The group will be structured like a covenant group (group members must agree
to confidentiality of one anothers’ sharing). Each day will
feature conversation on a theme such as “thankfulness”
or “creativity.” There will be opening and closing readings
and a chance for each member to speak on the daily topic.
Musical Activities
UUMAC All-Community Chorus We invite all voices to join our chorus. Dee Kysor will
guide the choir through a few rehearsals throughout
the week. The choir performs for daily worship services
and at the Friday night Showcase as it shares its gift
of musical joy with the community.
JoAnne King is a quilt enthusiast and is a founder and
participant of Sacred Circles, a thirteen member covenant
group at her church which is in its third year.
UUMAC Contra Dance Monday evening young and not-so-young dance, while
an expert caller keeps everyone moving and laughing.
8. Learn to Play Bridge
UUMAC Concert Rick and Audrey Dahl present an inspiring repertoire
of folk songs about UU principles on Wednesday
evening.
Learn the basic rules, strategy, and technique for bidding and play of both rubber and duplicate bridge.
Mike Harris is the current Vice President of the Jospeh
Priestly District, and a former UUMAC workshop leader.
He has played bridge for over 40 years, and has been
certified a “National Master” by the American Contract
Bridge League.
9. The Tapestry of Your Life
In the course of your life you meet many people. Some of
them leave a lasting impression and have a continuing
influence, changing your life forever in deeply spiritual
ways. In this workshop, you will create a tapestry from
pieces of fabric representing those special people. The result will be a personal piece of art work, a labor of love,
