About

We welcome you as friends & members to Mystic Grove CUUPs as we explore our many Pagan faiths & our Unitarian Universalist faith in a gathering of community builders with commitments to life-long spiritual growth, & compassionate service to our larger shared communities.

We are a fully inclusive & pan-Pagan group welcoming to all people regardless of race, national origin, immigration status, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental abilities, economic status, religious background, Pagan path, spiritual path, or experience level.

Whoever you are & wherever you are in your religious, spiritual, or magical journeys; your entire self is welcomed here.

Since some of our original founders helped organize the Annual Winter Solstice Service in 1994, Mystic Grove has been active in & serving in our local Pagan & Unitarian Universalist communities.

Over the years we have provided a variety of discussion groups, classes, Solar Rituals, Lunar Rituals, & even some Church Services within our larger congregation at First Unitarian Church Orlando, including the annual Winter & Summer Solstice Services.

We first officially formed as a Pagan faith affinity/study group within the 1U congregation in 2001 at the urging of then Minister, Reverend Marni Harmony. In 2016 we took the steps required to become a local chapter of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans.

From our beginnings & as embodied in our Mission Statement, Mystic Grove has sought to:

  • Provide a safe, welcoming place for Unitarian Universalists & Pagans to gather where people of differing age groups and ability levels are free to participate.
  • Support UUs and Pagans in their spiritual growth and encourage personal responsibility through educational opportunities and sharing the collective wisdom of past and present.
  • Provide information and opportunities for Pagan and Unitarian Universalist networking to help promote understanding between people with different belief systems.
  • Provide meaningful, engaging, and vibrant Pagan or Earth Centered worship.
  • Provide fellowship opportunities for people to socialize, laugh, and celebrate with our own brand of UU Pagan flair!
