Love At The Center: Reimagining the World As It Could Be : Mon, Jan 19, 2026 through Mon, Feb 16, 2026

30 Days of Love is our annual celebration that runs approximately from Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January through Valentine’s Day in February with weekly offerings of spiritual nourishment, political grounding, and shared practices of faith and justice.

At a time when fear, violence, and extraction dominate our politics and our planet, we practice another way. We believe love is not fragile; it is fierce. It grounds our organizing, fuels our imagination, and sustains our communities. Over five weeks, we will move through a journey from imagination to action, rooting our freedom dreams in faith and bringing them to life in our world.

Each week, we will have a written reflection from Side With Love staff; a conversation with a UU theologian; a multigenerational family activity; reflection questions for journaling; a meditative body practice; and a coloring sheet connected to the weekly theme.

Our weekly themes are:
Week 1: Reimagining Thriving
Week 2: Grounding in Context
Week 3: Mobilizing Action
Week 4: Nurturing Community
Week 5: Exploring Possibilities
