UUWR Traveling Bookstore is on the road again in several Midwest locations in 2023, plus General Assembly in Pittsburgh, PA. Check our calendar below!

Would you like to host our UU women's spirituality bookstore at your MidWest congregation? Stay tuned for how you can invite us to bring the Store for an event or Sunday service.

A note about what you buy from UUW&R: Some creators have donated their works to the organization. Others still receive royalties based on sales. So buying anything from the UUW&R Store supports both UUWR's ability to keep these resources available, and supports the creators! You can also donate directly using the Donate form at the bottom of the page.

Here is a treasure trove of Newsletters, Photos and Retreat information from the various District UUW&R groups. At one time each of the 20 UUA Districts had a UUW&R Task Force. Over time many of these groups morphed into something else, and some are still vital and active, though perhaps under another name!

Welcome Back!
