At PrairieUU, we learn Unitarian Universalist spiritual practice through our worship, classes, small groups, and justice work. Most of our meetings begin with reading our Touchstones, developed from Quaker Parker Palmer’s Courage and Renewal work. Almost every summer we have a spiritual retreat at the beautiful Franciscan Center on the north side of Colorado Springs.

  • Come to the work with all of ourselves; be present as fully as possible
  • Extend and receive welcome
  • Believe that it’s possible to emerge refreshed, surprised, and less
  • burdened than when we came
  • There is always invitation, never invasion; always opportunity, never demand
  • No fixing, no advice giving, no correcting one another
  • When the going gets rough, turn to wonder
  • Create space for the spirit of joy, laughter and play
  • Speak your truth in ways that respect other peoples’ truth
  • Trust and learn from the silence
  • Observe confidentiality
  • Let the beauty we love be what we do
