 | We are an organized group within the Unitarian Universalist church. |
| We are a gathering of practitioners of liberal religion, Earth-based Spirituality, U.U.
Pagans, and Witches. |
| We provide alternative worship services in the UU church in the form of Pagan ritual. |
| We are eclectic and draw from many Earth-based traditions to develop our rituals. |
| We deal with spirituality. |
| We are open to the public both in membership and ritual attendance. |
| We try to be inclusive within the above framework. For example, we don't try to include
people if they object to talk about spirituality. |
| Our practices are experiential. Participation is expected from all who attend. |
| Our practices are consensual. |
| We expect to create and maintain a safe environment to practice spirituality. |
| We have an oral tradition in large part. |
| We teach by modeling, by oral tradition, and by formal classes. We expect people to
learn by doing. |
| We teach from a CUUPS' point of view, from our experiences within CUUPS. |
| Everyone who comes to a CUUPS ritual is expected to participate to the best of their
ability, to cooperate with the intent of the ritual and to respect the circle and those on
it. |
