2015 Institute Prepacket - Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association
 2015 UUMA CENTER Ins1tute for Excellence in Ministry Pre-­‐Packet Dear colleagues and friends,
!
YOU are the ones we’ve been waiting for! This UUMA CENTER Institute for Excellence
in Ministry will be the vibrant, connective, rejuvenating and inspiring experience that we
know it can be because of your presence!
!
We, and others on the CENTER team, past and present, have been preparing for months
and months for our time together at Asilomar, in Pacific Grove, California. We’ve heard
what you are hungry for…. and so we’ve invited some world-class religious leaders to
prepare a selection of nourishing, exciting, and thought-provoking workshop and worship
services. We have planned activities for our spouses and partners, because they need
rejuvenation and connection, too. We are providing for quality child care, and allcommunity times so that the children who attend will get to connect with one another as
well as with their parents and the larger circle of the UU faith that holds them.
!
But, wait… there’s more! We are guessing that you will arrive with some ideas, some
conversations you hope to have, as well as some need for personal renewal. This year we
will have the technological capability to set up on-site meet-ups so that you will have a
way to identify and connect with others who are interested in particular topics or
activities. It may be a small group conversation, or a jam session on the beach, or an
outing to a Monterey restaurant… we can make it happen! We have built in to the
schedule some precious free time, where you can talk with a dear friend, or take a nap,
join a tour to explore the area, or take a walk by yourself along the Pacific Ocean. You
might want to schedule a massage as part of your self-care plan for February.
!
Whatever you choose…. We hope you dive in! Dive in to experience of the UUMA
Institute for Excellence in Ministry, and be transformed as you participate in the
transformation of others. We are interconnected…. We cannot do this alone… We’ve
been waiting for you!
!
In faith,
Meghan Cefalu and Lynn Gardner

UUMA COVENANT From the UUMA Guidelines
!
United in our call to serve the spirit of love and justice through the vocation of ministry in the
liberal religious tradition,
We, the members of the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association, covenant with one another:
• To conduct ourselves with integrity, honoring the trust placed in us;
• To embody in our lives the values that we proclaim on behalf of our faith;
• To support one another in collegial respect and care, understanding and honoring the
diversity within our association;
• To hold ourselves accountable to each other for the competent exercise of our vocation;
• To use our power constructively and with intention, mindful of our potential unconsciously to
perpetuate systems of oppression;
• To seek justice and right relations according to our evolving collective wisdom, and to refrain
from all abuse or exploitation;
• To cultivate practices of deepening awareness, understanding, humility, and commitment to
our ideals;
• To labor earnestly together for the well being of our communities and the progress of
Unitarian Universalism.
Through fidelity to this covenant and our Code of Professional Conduct, we aspire to grow in
wholeness, and bring hope and healing to the world.
INSTITUTE COVENANT !
Our UUMA CENTER Institute for Excellence in Ministry is a learning environment that is sacred
to all who attend. In order to provide the best possible experience for all, the CENTER Committee
and Right Relations Team ask that you read and respect it as you enjoy your time at the Institute.
We adhere to the covenant of the UUMA (above) and the guidelines of professional practice.
We strive to be in right relationship with one another in our daily interactions.
Therefore we acknowledge:
1. We all have something to learn. We want to set and uphold the expectation that we are a
learning community, in which well-intentioned mistakes are an inevitable part of the road
toward growth
2. As a community, we all have the responsibility to help each other in relationship. We need
each other for help in seeing what we can't see on our own.
3. We want to see, trust, and affirm one another's good intentions. We also want to have a
process for working through the harm caused when there is a "miss" - when the intentions and
the impact are not aligned. This accountability has three parts:
• to one’s self and idea/image of self/spirit (how do you set your mark? how do you know
you have missed it?)
• to the person/persons who have been wronged
• to the community as a whole
We take collective responsibility to embody the best of ministry.
We share responsibility for group dynamics and work in service of our purpose.
We are mindful and respect each other by showing up on time and being fully present.
We respect one another’s privacy.
We are here in service of our faith.
! And we have fun.

2015 UUMA CENTER Ins1tute for Excellence in Ministry
Deepening Into Difference at the Ins;tute !
Building skills for intercultural communication and community is the key to living into the power and
potential of our faith. We cannot benefit from the fullness of each person’s humanity, from the light
of spirit that sparks in each of us uniquely, unless we can see and appreciate the differences among us.
Those differences allow us to deepen in our knowledge of the holy as we bow to the mystery in each
other. Many of those differences derive from what we have come to understand as culture. Our skill
at honoring, celebrating, and working with the complexities of difference is key to our ability to
connect and see and know each other. It is the key to any efforts at knowing what shape justice
should take, and what peace really looks like.
!
As you are probably aware, the UUMA has a longstanding commitment to full inclusion, equity and
anti-oppression, expressed most succinctly in our UUMA Code of Conduct as follows:
!
Ethical Standards:
I will work to confront attitudes and practices of unjust discrimination on the basis of race, color,
class, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, physical or mental ability, or ethnicity, and
to challenge them within myself and in individuals, congregations, and groups I serve.
!
Expectations of Conduct:
I will acknowledge the reality of privilege arising from differences of social location and historical
marginalization. I will exercise the power of my authority and the privileges of my social location
in such a way that I do not disadvantage my colleagues on the basis of my or their race, color,
class, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, physical or mental ability or ethnicity.
!
Our intentions to fulfill these standards and expectations have been good, and we have sometimes
fallen short of meeting them. At the Institute this year, we are working on some new practices of
personal and communal accountability.
!
As we pursue our fulfillment of our obligations to each other and our aspirations for our selves, we are
guided by these assumptions:
!
!!
!
1. Ours is a learning community in which well-intentioned mistakes are an inevitable part of the
road toward growth.
2. As members of a learning community, we each have the responsibility to help each other learn.
We need help in learning what we can’t learn on our own. We need to help others learn what
they cannot learn on their own. For those of us in the dominating cultures (white, straight or
male) we pledge to step up and be allies, even when it’s uncomfortable for us.
3. We trust and affirm one another's good intentions.
4. Identity-based power dynamics are a fact of our institutional life together and will impact how
we experience the Institute.
5. In the event of a harmful statements or actions, we will work to respond with three priorities in
mind: a) the person or persons who have been harmed; b) the person or persons who are
accused of causing the harm; c) the community as a whole.
!

2015 UUMA CENTER Ins1tute for Excellence in Ministry
!
!
The first thing we ask of individuals is to join in a regular reflection practice on your own participation
and experience of the Institute, centered on the following questions:
!
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
What went well?
What went wrong?
What was challenging?
What did you learn?
What do you want to do differently in the future?
How will you develop the skill/information needed to make that change?
!
There are three ways you might choose to engage in this reflection:
!
!
1. As part of your own spiritual practice on a daily basis
2. In a facilitated small group that will gather on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from
8:00-8:30pm
3. In an informal, self-selected small group that meets one or more times during the week
If there are things that arise in you during the reflection process that you would like to share, there
will be designated colleagues available to hear your insights. If you have substantive matters of
concern about matters of power and privilege at the Institute, please be in touch with Nori Rost
(revrost@aol.com 719-963-0242) or Karen Hutt (khutt1@fairview.org)
!
We look forward to learning and deepening our community together along the California coast!

Point Lobos Nature Hike & Photograph Safari – Half Day (Wednesday)
Deriving its name from the offshore rocks at Punta de los Lobos Marinos, Point of the Sea Wolves, where the
sound of the sea lions carries inland, the reserve has often been called "the crown jewel of the State Park
System." Point Lobos has offered many things to millions of people who have visited it over the years. Point
Lobos State Reserve has outstanding passive recreation values, such as sightseeing, photography, painting,
nature study, picnicking, Scuba diving, and jogging. In addition to the spectacular beauty, nearly every aspect
of its resources is of scientific interest. There are rare plant communities, endangered archeological sites,
unique geological formations, and incredibly rich flora and fauna of both land and sea. Over two hundred fifty
different animal and bird species, and over three hundred fifty plant species have been identified at the
Reserve. Next to the spectacular scenic beauty of the Point, this presence of wildlife is among the area's most
arresting features. Here it is possible to observe in a primitive environment many plant and animal species
living in interesting relationships to one another. While Point Lobos is justifiably famous for its scenic beauty
and remarkable diversity of plants and wildlife, it is also a place rich in human history. Over the past 150 years,
this area has played host to a virtual parade of human activity. At one time or another, Point Lobos had been
home to Native Americans, Chinese fishermen, Japanese abalone harvesters, and Portuguese whalers. It has
been the site of an abalone cannery, coal mining business, granite quarry, military base, and numerous film
productions. To add to the visual and nature journey, you will be accompanied by a nature guide who will
provide insight in to locations for the best shots and to assist with finding the perfect locations for the perfect
photographs as a permanent remembrance of this unmatched scenery. $128/per adult, 10 person minimum
!
Monterey Peninsula Sightseeing / Family Fun Tour - Half Day (Wednesday)
Come join Ag Venture Tours on an expert guided sightseeing and family fun adventure tour of the scenic

This tour may need to be changed to a Monterey Bay Aquarium tour (add an additional $20/person) if it rains.
$75/per adult, $55/per child 4 person minimum
