Amanda Jones: “The Benefits of Awe”

Fellowship member Amanda Jones will talk about how the experience of awe can change our lives. New research backs that up.

Amanda Jones

Amanda is a student of mindfulness and meditation, as taught by Thích Nhất Hahn and Plum Village. She’s one of the leaders of Buddhist studies and meditation at our Fellowship. Amanda also has more than 30 years’ experience in service-based roles—with Big Brother and Big sisters and in churches as a youth director, a small-group leader and a worship team leader. She and Amos have nine children ranging from age 10 to adult.

Sunday services begin at 11 a.m., but join us early for coffee and conversation. Visitors and guests are always welcome.

Services usually feature a speaker—either a member of the Fellowship or a guest. We focus on the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism, but our interests are wide-ranging. Services also include music, readings, meditation and an opportunity, always optional, to share your thoughts.

We are non-denominational. We do have beliefs, as individuals, but our members subscribe to a range of religious, philosophical and ethical traditions. And some members resist labels. What ties us together are commitments to human rights and care for the planet.

Our unofficial motto: “deeds before creeds.”
