Adult Education at USR
Each year we offer unique opportunities to deepen your spiritual life and grow your understanding. With ever-changing classes, seminars, book discussions, and small groups, we offer many ways for adults to continue their journeys. Recently, we have offered a series with special guests speaking on World Religions,
a weeknight class on the Sins and Virtues in American Public LIfe, a book read on
Sapians by Yuval Noah Harrari, and more.
We also offer ongoing groups and experiences, many of which have been active for decades. These groups meet consistently and provide an opportunity to form meaningful relationships in small community.
Zen Meditation
Held on Monday evenings, this practice focuses on quieting the mind and cultivating awareness through meditation.
Covenant Groups
Small groups where members and friends come together to reflect on life’s important questions, speak honestly, and listen deeply.
Affinity Groups
Affinity Groups offer the opportunity to connect with others who share our interests and identities – Women's and Men's groups, Young AdUUlts (ages 20-45), and others.
Wednesday Lunch Bunch
Join us every Wednesday at noon for a BYO lunch in our main conference room. With no agenda, the conversation ranges and offers a chance to make new friends.

Get Involved
There is no one (or right!) way to be part of the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood. Perhaps you would like to join a small group, attend a special event, learn more at one of our educational lectures or seminars, volunteer in our gardens, change the world with one of our justice teams, or simply attend on Sundays for renewal and respite.
However you want to engage, there is a place for you at USR.
