Sunday Service Notes: Katrina Plato - Differently Enabled Adventures: Pushing the Limits of What's Possible - January 31, 2021

1/31/2021

 
Picture
When Carrie asked her friend Katrina to accept a job working for her as an “adventure specialist,” neither really understood just what that job would entail. That Carrie used a wheelchair after 20 years battling MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and that the adventures she envisioned involved traveling to multiple countries, Mexico, Guatemala and Italy among them, created some obvious issues. Carrie particularly wanted to visit some nonprofit projects she has supported over the years and see the sites of ancient Rome and Pompeii. Beyond just visiting exciting places, these two adventurers found accessible ways to enjoy hot air balloon flying, kayaking, ziplining, sledding, rafting, tubing, snorkeling, and parasailing. Some of the adventures in water play happened close to their homes in Washington State. During the eight months of their odyssey, they recorded their adventures and their responses in photographs and journals that became a blog and then a book.

Katrina, a former Boone resident, holds a doctorate in expressive arts. She now lives in Phoenix, where she is an art therapist at Resilient Health Arizona.

Service Leader: Linda Larson

1/10/2021

 
Picture
BUUF welcomed back David Novak, storyteller, for an exploration of the Norse myth of Baldr, its relevance to our search for truth, and the darkness that heralds a return of light and new life in the coming year. David works extensively in aesthetic education as a performing and teaching artist. He is an NC A+ Fellow and a National Storytelling Network Circle-of-Excellence Storyteller. David animates his programs, contrasting simplicity with complexity, the familiar with the surprising, the ordinary with the fabulous. Service Leader: Linda Larson

​Below is the YouTube link of David's presentation entitled "Truth, Apprehension, and the Eclipse of Baldr". Here is also a link to a blog post about truth.
