SpiritJam is multi-age explorations of monthly themes for Mind/Body/Spirit with paid lead teachers, taking place at Boulder Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Lafayette, CO.
Goals:
SpiritJam seeks to provide spiritual growth and learning for adults, families, children and youth. Kindergarten through Youth plus adults will partake of multi-age “Jams” offered on Sundays 3-4 times a month and led by consistent, paid Lead Teachers. Youth will be invited to be Jammers and take part in the leadership of the Jams. In addition, SpiritJam will be lifespan in reach. Already, there are adults ready to be Teaching Associates and offer WritingJams, PoetryJams, and StoryJams, based on their gifts. In addition, the DRE’s time will be freed up from recruiting and training volunteers and be able to offer support to a Lifespan Program.
