Spirituality has been around for at least 70,000 years, but religions have only been in existence for 5000 years.
Dr. Nita Penfold, co-developer and founder of Spirit Play, curricula used here and elsewhere in UU congregations, will explore the basic need in humans for spirituality and how we are born as searching creative beings. "Children have the same need to answer the big questions of existence as adults do," says Dr. Penfold, “but how should these questions be approached?” Nita Penfold received her Doctorate of Ministry from Matthew Fox’s Wisdom University in California and has served three UU churches as Director of Religious Education and 8 years as Director of Spirit Play. She has led almost a hundred Spirit Play trainings and teaches as adjunct faculty at Andover Newton Theological School in the Worship and Theology Arts Department.
