The Woodlands is a monthly online gathering designed for trans children, youth, and adults—as well as the parents and caregivers of trans people. Each session will begin with a shared message and grounding ritual, followed by breakout rooms tailored to different communities within our circle, and we come back together for a release. Sessions will be about an hour and a half.
Each breakout room—co-facilitated by two chaplains—will offer space for meaningful check-ins where we can honor our grief, celebrate our joy, and support one another. The spirit of each room will reflect the people within it.
For example:
- Saplings — Trans Youth (13+/HS)
- Sycamores — Trans Adults (18+)
- Sequoias — Parents/Caregivers (attending solo)
- Sequoias Jr. — Parents/Caregivers (attending with kids)
The Woodlands will gather on the first Sunday of the month:
- Sunday, October 5th
- Sunday, November 2nd
- Sunday, December 7th
TIME: 4:00pm EST / 3:00pm CST / 2:00pm MST / 1:00pm PST

This pilot season will run from September 2025 through May 2026—a time for grace, growth, and connection. All of us on the UUA staff who helped bring The Woodlands to life hope you’ll find meaningful community and support in this shared space.
