Intimacy and Ethics ConversationJoin the ministerial staff at White Bear Unitarian Universalist Church in the Twin Cities, as we explore what it means to share a COVID bubble with someone - and the importance of having consent conversations with the people we come in contact with. We as humans sometimes would rather ignore something big and hard, putting off hard conversations about boundaries. But when being lax about boundaries can have devastating, even life-ending effects, we need to get past our discomfort to speak candidly about our needs.
Offered on November 9th and 23rd at 6:30 – 8:30 pm CST. Register HERE.
