Tides of Change: Shaping Justice Through Collective Movement 

July 13-20, 2025

Faith Development Week welcomes you to a transformative family conference where Unitarian Universalists of all ages gather at the water's edge to explore justice, community, and change. Through shared song, sacred rituals, and collective blessings, we'll discover how our movements and voices can create lasting transformation.


Our inclusive programming ensures everyone can participate fully in this journey:

- Children's dedicated morning programs nurture our youngest change-makers through age-appropriate activities and learning

- Afternoon workshops and activities bring all ages together, strengthening our intergenerational community

- Adult workshops and discussion spaces dive deep into justice work and community building

- Shared meals, singing circles, and evening programs weave our community closer


Whether you're 5 or 95, your voice and presence matter in this gathering. Together, we'll explore how our UU values call us to shape justice, celebrate our connections, and build the beloved community we envision. Join us as the tides of change rise, bringing new possibilities for transformation through our collective movement.

Help Us Create More Memories

Each year, we create more memories on Star Island with activities like s'mores and singing on the rocks, social hour, concerts, and more! These activities aren't covered by your registration or conference fee.


Help us create more memories with these beloved traditions by donating. We're offering multiple donation levels and gratefully accept anything you are able to give. Every bit helps.


When we each give what we can, we contribute to the legacy of this conference. These memories will live in our hearts forever. Let us honor them by helping others shoalers, maybe new shoalers, create memories of their own.
