Our first annual participatory theatrical celebration featuring community singing, dancing, storytelling, silence, and puppetry! Our celebration, held on January 30 and 31 at Steeple Square in Dubuque, will incorporate Irish myth and tradition centered on welcoming the Spring, the growing light, and the feminine connection to the land.

Suggested Donation of $15-$50.

“There are no unsacred places. There are only sacred places and descrated places.” — Wendell Berry

Join the Church of the Oak — community within the Wild Church network — as we settle into Lent’s call to listen more deeply and explore some of our area’s sacred and descrated places. All of these events will take place fully outside, so please bring chairs and dress for the weather.

12th Anniversary Song Circle with Liz Rog! Sunday, March 22, 2:30-4:30pm, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Dubuque, 1699 Iowa Street.

Come and sing with us as we celebrate 12 years of Community Singing in the Dubuque area! Community Singing is accessible to anyone and everyone. This kind of singing is for the sheer joy of being together in community, and there is no performance. Come experience the pleasure of simple connection with others through music! No registration necessary. Donations accepted at the door.
