Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
Speaker: Carla Espinoza
by Kate Greenaway, UUFSMA member
What would it mean to become a community of radical care?
This week, we are happy to welcome back our own Carla Espinoza, one of our favorite guest speakers. Carla invites us to explore radical community care as a way of making mental health and wellness a shared priority—and to consider how UUFSMA might put that commitment into practice.
We have the power to shape our shared culture—to build a collective practice in which individuals pool resources, emotional support, and labor to care for one another. An essential part of this work is prioritizing mental wellness: our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It shapes how we think and feel, manage stress, relate to others, and make choices.
This week, with Carla's guidance, we will consider this question: How might our fellowship contribute to mental wellness as a community of radical care?
Carla Espinoza is an active Fellowship member and currently serves on our Board of Directors and the Sunday Service Committee. She is a clinical psychologist with deep roots in Mexico, hoping to make the world a little better than she found it. Carla has just begun her UU ministry studies at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago. The program can now be completed entirely online, allowing Carla to study here in San Miguel — a perfect fit for her and for our Fellowship. Carla lives in San Miguel de Allende with her son, her partner, and their beloved pets.
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal faith centered on shared values for living. Our UU Fellowship welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We gather not around a belief in divinity, but around community, love, compassion, social justice, reverence for nature, and the spirituality of music within the interconnected web of existence.
The UUFSMA Social Justice Foundation supports local nonprofits that provide health, educational, environmental, and other services. Learn more at https://www.uufsma.org/foundation.html .
