Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL) and the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta (UUCA) are excited to co-host Flying Together: An Earth Day Celebration on Saturday, April 18, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at UUCA, 2650 N. Druid Hills Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30329.
Across metro Atlanta, people are doing incredible work for the earth, frequently without knowing who else is out there. Communities are alive with individuals and small groups often operating in isolation amid headwinds of discouraging news. This Earth Day, let’s flock together to celebrate our solidarity and care for our Common Home through conversation, singing, and sharing success stories and collective wisdom.
The morning will include live music, exhibitors, a large-group gathering in UUCA's sanctuary from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m., and breakout sessions from 11 to 11:45 a.m. exploring the spirit, strategy, and resourcefulness needed for the road ahead. The event will close with networking and light refreshments.
After our large group "Celebrate Solidarity" session, you'll choose one of these 45-minute breakout sessions:
Celebrate Resources: lesser-known resources to promote conversation and action
Celebrate Strategy: strategies for individual/group activism and effective advocacy
Celebrate Spirit: perspectives and practices to center joy amid difficult times
Celebrate Strengths: an orientation to identify and operate from your strengths
Celebrate Humanity: an exploration of global migration as an act of human resilience
