Find Your Place in Our Community

Connection is at the heart of what we do at UUCR. Whether you're seeking meaningful volunteer work, looking to deepen friendships, or eager to explore new interests, UUCR offers countless ways to weave yourself into the fabric of our vibrant community.

Where Will You Find Your Tribe?

Nurture your spirit with Mindfulness Meditation , Soul Matters Discussion Groups, or the contemplative practices of Reston CUUPS. Feed your creativity through Caring Crafters, Art & Aesthetics, or our hands-in-the-earth Gardening Group. Find new friendships with ROMEOs, JULIETs, Women's Book Club, or Films on Friday gatherings. Care for yourself and others through our Caring Circle, Yoga sessions, or Green Sanctuary's environmental stewardship.

Each path offers its own gifts—some quiet and reflective, others lively and social, all deeply meaningful.
