Journey Inward Meetup Group

Journey Inward Meetup Group Pages

Welcome to Journey Inward. The reason we put this group together was to have a place where like-minded people can meet, learn, explore and discover all the wonderful things that can be found on our journey inward.

AFD Journey Inward Meetup Group is part of the CCUU Adult Faith Development Program.

The Mission of the Adult Faith Development Program at Countryside Church is to help you find opportunities for learning, make our community and the world a little better, have some fun, share your talents, and create something. Tell us what you need or are willing do and we will work with you to make it happen. We have faith in you!

The Adult Faith Development Program includes:

Ongoing groups
One day workshops, lectures, and discussions
Multi-Week Classes
Annual Journeys Weekend Retreat

Most of the meetups are held at Countryside Church Unitarian Universalist in Palatine, IL.

Unitarian Universalists (UUs) believe in complete and responsible freedom of speech, thought, belief, faith, and disposition. They believe that each person is free to search for his or her own personal truth on issues, such as the existence, nature, and meaning of life, deities, creation, and afterlife. UUs can come from any religious background, and hold beliefs from a variety of cultures or religions.

Concepts about deity are diverse among UUs. Some believe that there is no god (atheism); others believe in many gods (polytheism). Some believe that God is a metaphor for a transcendent reality. Some believe in a female god (goddess), a passive god (Deism), an Abrahamic god, or a god manifested in nature or the universe (pantheism). Many UUs reject the idea of deities and instead speak of the "spirit of life" that binds all life on earth. UUs support each person's search for truth and meaning in concepts of spirituality.
