We offer Unitarian Universalist faith-based workshops, classes, and practice groups that focus on deepening inner and outer spiritual connections and exploring how we live our lives as Unitarian Universalists.
Programming varies from one-time to multiple sessions, or ongoing. All require some form of registration so we know who and how many will be attending. Some are on ZOOM, others are in-person, and a few are offered in hybrid form.
Our aim is to provide a variety of learning experiences in terms of topics and the form of participation, engaging the body, the mind, and the heart.

Our Vision
The Vision of Adult Faith Formation is to inspire and support individual spiritual growth in connection with others through life-long learning.
Our Mission
We are committed to the exploration of shared questions, joys, and concerns that enable us to grow within, among, and beyond ourselves. We create programs that will engage and deepen the whole person: body, mind, and spirit, through education, experience, and ritual. We embrace the wisdom and essence of multiple world religions, belief system, arts, and philosophies. Together we develop the three sacred practices of listening – to each other, the world, and our deepest selves.
Our Programming
Throughout the year we will be offering a wide variety of programming all developed in alignment with our Vision and our Mission. Programs will be listed in SOUNDINGS, on the TUCW website on the Adult Faith Formation page, and notices will go out to the broader Westport/Fairfield community through various media outlets.
All our Soul Matters programs come under the umbrella of Adult Faith Formation, and they are all on-going. They include our Sharing Circles, UU Writers, and Creativity Matters. Details may be found on our website and in SOUNDINGS.
