Relationships are profound teachers when we are open to learning from them! Join us for a transformative workshop devoted to understanding

through a brief but focused ceremony at the end of the workshop, to support us in releasing old patterns, fears and false beliefs. This workshop
offers a uniquely safe and inspiring space for expanding self-awareness and taking your personal transformation work to deeper levels.

Carrie Newcomer - Live Benefit Concert
Unitarian Universalist Society of Mill Creek, 579 Polly Drummond Hill Road, Newark, DE 19711
Carrie Newcomer's lyrics explore life with a progressive spiritual sensibility. In a world that encourages us to move faster and
think bigger, Newcomer invites the listener to slow down and reflect on the small things that make life worthwhile. As Rolling Stone
wrote, "Newcomer asks all the right questions and refuses to settle for easy answers." On another level, the listener hears a
skillfully arranged and performed collection of folk roots tracks, with Appalachian and classical influences. Newcomer's style is
straightforward and accessible. Overall, she is not afraid to take on serious subjects, and does so with a healthy measure of good
humor and self-awareness. For more information, visit Carrie Newcomer
