"My Bag of Worries" with Gaye Symington
Gaye will offer reflections about how practices grounded in UU faith may help us move beyond worrying events and anxious times. How do we carry our pain and fears? How do we take care of ourselves and our communities? She will also reflect on how our lay-led faith community can balance the desire to serve as a place of refuge with also being a welcoming community to all. And while she's still working on the service, she's very clear that she will not fully answer those questions and is counting on others to share their thoughts and strategies for moving through anxious times and events, individually and as a community.
Gaye is a long-time member of MMUUF. She's retired from a nonlinear career that included baking, managing mission-focused organizations, legislative service, and leading a grantmaking organization. Now her days change with seasons, but consistent elements include trying to keep up with her 90-something friends and role-models and serving on the board of VTDigger, a nonprofit news organization. She lives in Jericho with her husband, Chuck Lacy, and their two cats.
