“Doing Our Inner Work” is one of several online practices of Spiritual Leadership created and shared by the UUA New England region. The belief is that Spiritual Leadership is a way of living and being, where we bring our best gifts to the world. Whether you consider yourself a “leader” or not, each person has the capacity to be a spiritual leader within the FUSF community. Like all learning, it just needs practice!

Learn how to grow your spiritual leadership on the New England Region page of the UUA website.  Then bring and share your gifts with our beloved community!

“The practice of doing our inner work is about wakening our souls and tuning in to the wisdom and gifts that abide within us. Our souls remember our dignity and worth — not over and above someone else. Not in spite of someone else. Not in comparison to anyone else. Our soul is that aspect of ourselves that always remembers our ultimate significance and our connection to the vastness of the cosmos. Our soul is in touch with our inherent somebodiness, and the inherent somebodiness of others.

Being together in community means that we take seriously the way we show up in collective space and tend to the places where our egos have us either looking down at or looking up to others. It is the responsibility of religious community to help us remember we belong to one another as equals — all somebodies with gifts and purpose — and to help us remember that we are connected to the web of Life and Love that came before us and will remain after us.” (From the UUA, New England Region website, Feb. 2023)
