"Exploring Five Strands of Imagination": in Person/Online/Podcast 15 Feb

### Down the Rabbit Hole: Exploring Five Strands of Imagination

Service Led by Eva Kortekaas

Down the rabbit hole Alice goes…and what a wonderful world she discovers, filled with challenges and adventures! Children, as well as artisans and other creators, go down their own rabbit holes every day, their imagination allowing them to discover untold worlds of their own making.
But what about us UUs? When we go down the rabbit hole, what do we find there? And perhaps an even bigger question: when we return to our daily lives, what do we do with what we have discovered?
Join us as we explore how imagination can become part of our spiritual toolkit, strengthening body, mind, heart, spirit, and soul.

Eva Kortekaas is a native Dutch and has been a UU for over 15 years. She has been active within the Netherlands UU Fellowship, Unitarian Universalists in Europe, the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists, and Dutch liberal religious communities, taking on a variety of roles. Eva holds a master’s degree in Religious Studies, has completed additional theology studies at the Instituut OVP in Bilthoven, and for the past two years has continued her ministry training at Unitarian College in the UK.

Children and families are welcome at our services! UUFP offers Religious Exploration (RE) for children ages 5-12. This month, after reading the book "Carl and the Meaning of Life" by Deborah Freedman, the children will explore what has meaning for them and what is important. There is a babysitter for younger ones during the service.

All are welcome to join us for refreshments after the service (please bring your own cup). You are also invited to join some of us who go for lunch in a nearby restaurant.
