Knowing that our inner lives of self-discovery are enriched through participation in an intentional community, we strive to grow together in awareness, conscience, and spirit.
 Our young adults come from a variety of faith traditions and backgrounds; they may be unaffiliated with a religious denomination, nonreligious/secular, searching for a spiritual community, "spiritual but not religious", undecided, or a combination of the above. Many are also members of the Unitarian Universalist congregation, and find deeper fulfillment by participating in other aspects of community life. We are mindful that each brings something unique to the group, and that growth is a process of teaching and learning from one another. We are an inclusive circle and invite our members to participate as they are able and comfortable. All are welcome!

-As of October 2022, we meet '''online (on Zoom), approximately once a month on a weekday from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm Eastern Time'''. For as long as we're meeting online, we welcome all young adults to join us regardless of where you are or whether you have any other relationship with First Parish in Cambridge. At this time, our meetings typically consist of a "check-in" followed by an informal activity such as conversation or online board games.
