Sunday May 31st – Join us for a joyful gathering. Topic: Liberating Love, part of the MMiLT Series
1110 Hillside Ave
Speaker: Rev. Samaya Oakley, Calgary Unitarians (video homily)
Liberating love is not sentimental—it is courageous. It interrupts rumour, resists polarization, slows the nervous system, and widens the circle. We can choose curiosity over certainty, compassion over gossip, truth over distortion, and presence over panic.
Bio: Rev. Samaya Oakley is deeply committed to fostering a congregation where relationships, compassion, and curiosity guide our shared spiritual journey. She believes that Unitarian Universalism calls us to live with integrity, love, and justice in our communities and the wider world. Samaya’s ministry is grounded in supporting people of all ages as they explore their values, deepen their connections, and grow into their fullest selves.
She has a special passion for nurturing youth and families, having spent 15 years coordinating youth programs and expanding Our Whole Lives sexuality education across all age levels. A committed social justice advocate, Samaya has worked on initiatives such as the Canadian Unitarian Council’s Truth, Healing, and Reconciliation Reflection Guides and the Widening the Circle program, and is currently involved in the national project Activating the Canadian UU Ecosystem.
Forum: After the service, there will be a forum; however, the Reverend will not be present.
