CIRCLES IN THE WOODS · ABOUT US
Rooted in Earth, Growing in Community
Circles in the Woods CUUPS is an earth-centered spiritual community connected with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tampa. Together, we explore traditions that honor the natural world, encourage spiritual discovery, and celebrate our connection to one another and the earth.
Who we are
Circles in the Woods is a chapter of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS), bringing together people interested in Pagan and Earth-centered spirituality within the UU community.
Our purpose is to create opportunities for learning, spiritual exploration, and connection. Through education, shared celebrations, and community-building, we encourage a deeper understanding of the many traditions that honor the Earth and the cycles of nature.
We recognize that spiritual paths are diverse. Our community offers a place to explore those differences with curiosity, respect, and a shared appreciation for the natural world.
