Wellspring Curriculum

Wellspring is an intensive 10-month spiritual deepening program for Unitarian Universalists taking shape out of the First Unitarian Church of Rochester, NY. Now in its second year of success, Wellspring offers a spiritual journey dedicated to claiming, re-imagining, and practicing the ever-evolving living tradition of our faith.
Rev. Jen Crow developed Wellspring based on the concept of a five-spoke wheel where the following components all contribute to holding a strong center:

• participation in a community of seekers
• spiritual direction - self-reflection with a guide
• daily spiritual practice
• Unitarian Universalist history and theology
• acts of practical compassion - what our faith calls us to do in the world
