UUFC Men’s Retreat Oct. 16-18 – Sign Up Now!
Playing the Game of Life: How Do We Roll?
What have been our most meaningful experiences in the game of life? How have we responded to the curveballs that have come our way? What have we learned? That’s the focus of this year’s UU Men’s Retreat – the major things that have shaped how we play the game of life. We’ll share meaningful experiences and have fun together, too – what a concept!Register ONLINE at https://uufc.breezechms.com/form/mensretreatregistration2026.
Join us at Camp Harlow near Eugene (only an hour’s drive from Corvallis). This is a great opportunity for those who identify as men to get to know each other better and build deeper connections. The fee for the retreat is on a sliding scale, based on what you can afford. (No refunds after Sept. 18.) Check out the flyer with details at this link:

Past Women’s Retreats
On Saturday, June 3, 30 adults met at the UUFC for a half-day retreat exploring identity in vertical (hereditary, cultural) and horizontal (chosen, acquired) dimensions. The goal of this exercise was to expand our sensitivity to our unique humanity and practice inclusion and connection. We sang, laughed, and shared in depth. All participants agreed that this more inclusive retreat was a welcome addition to the Men’s and Women’s retreats that have been held at the UUFC for decades. A post-event evaluation indicated a strong desire to continue these kinds of gatherings going forward. The retreat was organized by Kris Egan, Priscilla Galasso, Jed Irvine, Nick Houtman, Skyla King-Christison, and Steve Strauss.
