Paddling In Uncertain Waters – Sunday Service
A compassionate community of free religious thought, inviting all people to rest, grow, and serve the world.

Paddling in Uncertain Waters
How are we to live – and thrive – when so much is changing around us? When the achievements of the past turn out to be precarious, what, if anything, we can count on? And is “embracing change” always so exhausting?!
Karen speaks to us by video in this year’s Meaning Making series, “Meeting this moment with love and justice.”

Karen Fraser Gitlitz (she/her) is a cis-gendered middle-class woman of English, French, and Scottish ancestry. Karen and her partner, musician and composer Paul Gitlitz, are grateful to make their home on southern Vancouver Island, the territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. As an artist, professional art therapist and Unitarian Universalist Community Minister, Karen works at the confluence of meaning, belonging and justice. Find out more about Karen’s private practice at creativeupwelling.com.
Formerly a parish minister serving Canadian UU congregations, Karen keeps her toes in our Canadian UU movement as the Coordinator of the Meaning Making Project. She is also excited to volunteer on the planning circles for “Activating the Canadian UU Ecosystem.”
