Join us for this commemoration of Transgender Day of Remembrance, as we reflect deeply on the question of transformation. How do we skillfully shape change in this time of both wonder and chaos? As shifting gender norms present us with an opportunity for spiritual growth – our third principle as Unitarian Universalists – what new forms of acceptance, belonging and authenticity are possible now? Led by ministerial candidate Reilly Yeo, and followed by a film screening and discussion.
Reilly Yeo is an organizer and facilitator with extensive experience running digital campaigns. Prior to entering seminary, she was the Director of Communications and Public Engagement at the David Suzuki Foundation, and she currently serves as Co-Founder of Climate Plan, a membership-based organization that helps people and their communities respond to climate change. She received her MDiv from the University of Toronto (graduating with the prize for Highest Standing), and completed her chaplaincy training (CPE Basic) at Victoria General Hospital. Her ministry work focuses on the twin challenges of spiritual resilience and systems change in the face of the polycrisis, the interlocking crisis of crises that defines our time. She lives in James Bay on the unceded territories of the Swenghung, a Lekwungen-speaking people, with her partner Jamie and their children Avery and Elyse.
