With Rev. Corinna Frenzl October 11, 2026, 1:30 pm Pacific​ ​​​ featuring music from vocalists Aureole Lighten & Stef Frenzl  with Kathy Sestrap on piano & Jennifer Sundstrom on drums ​ As we cross the threshold of Samhain and enter the deep winter, we turn toward the Cailleach — the ancient Winter Hag who shapes the land and governs the season of becoming. This is the dream‑time of the year, when what is not yet visible begins to take form in the dark. In the deep stillness, we listen for what is stirring beneath the surface and begin to call it forward together. Through our voices, intentions, and actions joined as one, we can create a beautiful noise that shapes the future we are moving toward.

Hecate at the Crossroads September 13, 2026   1:30 pm Pacific​ Shoreline UU Church: 14724 1st Ave. NE  Seattle, WA 9815​​​​ ​ Featuring music from vocalists Pamela Gerke, Kimberly Agbayani, and Joyce Allison ​​ The season of Mabon calls us into the deepening dark, where old stories whisper new truths. This year, we journey with the Crone Goddess Hecate — guardian of thresholds and keeper of the crossroads — to revisit Persephone’s descent from a fresh perspective. What unfolds when we meet the turning points of our lives with intention? Join us as we explore the magic of choice, change, and the paths that open when we listen to the wisdom of the Crone within.

Featuring music from vocalist and guitarist Perry Greene   The world asks so much of us right now. We move through our days carrying worry, tending to our families, grieving our losses, and wondering what the future will hold. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. It’s harder to stay hopeful.   In our August service, I Choose Love, Rev. Corinna will guide us into gentle, meaningful ways to navigate these tender times—ways that help us stay grounded, true to ourselves, and connected to the love that lives at the center of our being.   Come be held in community as together we choose love, for ourselves, for one another, and for the world.

with Rev. Corinna Frenzl with Vocalist Celia Farran and Kathy Sestrap on piano​ Flowing with Waves of Emotion invites us to gently explore how we make space for our feelings in times of loss — not only the anticipation of what’s coming, but the tender reality of the loss itself. Together we’ll reflect on how healing unfolds when we allow ourselves to feel fully, diving beneath the surface instead of bottling our emotions away. This service offers a compassionate container to lean into community, wade into the waters of our inner landscape, and learn to move with the current rather than against it. May these shared waters carry us toward grace, connection, and courage.

Let's find this  profound love within ourselves and strengthen it in the sacred act of protection.
