You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn to surf. -Jon Kabat-Zinn

What is the difference between pain and suffering? What does it mean to live well, in spite of the inevitability of life’s pain? What is real happiness, and how can we best pursue it? How can we create a vital and meaningful life? We will explore these and other questions through the lens of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, an evidence-based therapeutic approach that draws on the wisdom of both ancient religious traditions and cutting-edge cognitive science.

This month's theme: Life

Speaker: Dr. Elizabeth Williams

Dr. Elizabeth Williams is a licensed psychologist practicing in Hendersonville, NC. She received her Ph.D. from East Tennessee State University. She and her 6 year old son Clint and 2 year old daughter Eleanor have been calling UUTC home for one year. She is looking forward to serving on the Settled Minister Search Committee. In addition to chasing her children around, Elizabeth enjoys writing, reading, running, and backpacking.

The first guiding Principle of Unitarian Universalism is the inherent worth and dignity of every person. UUTC welcomes all—persons of various ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, theological and political beliefs, socio-economic status, educational backgrounds, abilities and ethnicities. Services are at 9:15 and 11:00am. The building is wheelchair accessible, dress may be casual and visitors of all ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, and beliefs are warmly welcomed.
