Welcome! The Women & Religion (W&R) Committee is a standing committee of the Central Midwest District of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Nine women are chosen from a wide geographic area to represent women in the District for a three-year term. The W&R Committee sponsors a Winter WomanSpirit conference each year, along with a Summer WomanSpirit Conference at Ronora Lodge in Michigan. Both events are organized by "local" committees with the help of the District W&R Committee. Women who have previously served on the W&R Committee comprise our “Wise Woman Council.” The Mission of the Unitarian Universalist Association's Central Midwest District Women and Religion Committee is to support women in their search for the Inner Feminine Divine in an atmosphere of connectedness, safety, and joy.
