Workshops

SUUSI’s workshops are as diverse and inspirational as our community. Want to learn stand up comedy? You can. Build a drum? Yep, that too. You can also learn to crochet, create metal jewelry, meditate, write your UU story, choose an electric car, and dance and sing to your heart’s content. These opportunities and so many more await you, if you just seek them out.

Looking for ways to connect with others? Workshops are a great way to get to know fellow SUUSI attendees who share your interests. Many lasting friendships are developed in workshops as the experiences you share draw you closer to friends and to people you’ve just met. And, of course, workshops provide the opportunity for you to learn something new, renew your spirit, or just have fun.

Where are workshops held?

Workshops are held on campus in lounges, in classrooms, or outside. Locations can change during SUUSI. The most up-to-date workshop location information can be found in the online SUUSI catalog, on solis.suusi.org, and at the SUUSI Office.

Which workshops might be right for me?

Workshops tagged “ES” for “Emotionally Sensitive” involve emotional experiences that may be stressful. Workshop tagged “PD” for “Physical Dexterity” require a full range of movement in order to get the maximum benefit. Workshops tagged “Teen Friendly,” “YA Friendly,” and “Median Friendly” are meant to encourage Teens or individuals that identify as Young Adults (YAs), or Medians, respectively, to register for those workshops, but these workshops are open to any SUUSI participants within the specified age limits. Age limits are set based on content, required skills, and subject matter that may require greater maturity. 

Other parameters for attendence may be tagged as below:

  • Required: Participants should attend all sessions to obtain the full benefit of the workshop. If you sign up for an attendance required workshop, you will not be able to register for another required workshop or a nature trip in the same or overlapping time slot.
  • Preferred: Attendance is suggested at all sessions to obtain full benefit but overlapping registrations are permitted.
  • Drop-In: Requires registration but attendance is optional. Please register for drop-in workshops so that minimum enrollment requirements are met and adequate space can be allocated.
