Waves and Undercurrents

Saturday, June 19th to Saturday June 26

(Formally known as Young Religious Unitarian Universalists or YRUU)

YES on Star Island is a weeklong conference for ages 15 to 22. We welcome back old friends and invite new ones to be a part of a diverse and open community and provide a safe atmosphere for spiritual growth and renewal, both individually and as a community.

Taking time to recognize the ebb and flow of change in ourselves and in our community. We gather with new and old friends to learn and question themes of faith, gender, art, sexuality, politics, and much more in youth-led workshops and programming. Join us in creating new waves and experiencing familiar undercurrents as we celebrate and enjoy being on Star Island together.

Other News:

The ferry is leaving from PORTSMOUTH and not Rye Harbor this year. HELLO Friendly Toast, GOODBYE seafood shack!

The ferry costs the same (and is added to your bill, but just a heads up): $44
Parking is the same: $10 a day or $80 Saturday-to-Saturday. HOWEVER there is a free park and ride just outside of Portsmouth where we might be able to figure out some self-organized shuttle service to minimize parking costs.

Didn’t think you could come back to Star? You are probably mistaken!

Be a conference overnight guest!

What is a Conference Overnight Guest?
• Someone who cannot make the whole conference, but comes for a night or a couple of days.
• They can be Old Shoalers or New Shoaler friends that want to be conferees

Please contact Rachel if you want to be a Conference Overnight Guest!
