"Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." — Arundhati Roy.
What if we dared to listen for her breath? What if we let our imaginations stretch beyond the limitations of the present, beyond what we have been told is possible? Join us on Sunday, March 16, as guest preacher and seminarian Karishma Neva Gottfried invites us into the sacred work of envisioning the world as it might be.
In a world shaped by injustice, fear, and uncertainty, hope is an act of resistance. To dream of a different future is to claim our power as co-creators of that world. Through reflection, song, and community, we will make space for the dreams that whisper to us, the visions that stir in our souls. Together, we will ask: What does the world we long for require of us? What seeds can we plant today?
Come with open hearts and curious minds as we step into the sacred act of imagination. Let us listen for the breath of the world to come—and commit ourselves to bringing her into being.
Karishma Neva Gottfried is a lifelong Unitarian Universalist on the path to ordination as a UU minister. Deeply committed to the transformative power of faith and justice, she is currently midway through her Master of Divinity program at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where she is exploring the intersections of theology, liberation, and communal care. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Religion from Wellesley College, where she focused on Unitarian Universalist theology and the role of community in shaping spiritual identity.
Karishma currently serves as the Intern Minister at the Community Church of New York, where she is engaged in worship, pastoral care, and religious education. In her free time, Karishma dabbles in herbalism, plays viola with the Queer Urban Orchestra, and listens to copious amounts of audiobooks.

Unitarian Universalism is a liberal faith inviting its community to gather around a set of harmonizing values and principles for living. Our UU Fellowship welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Belief in a divinity is not the central issue around which we gather for worship and generous action. Rather, we come together with a belief in community, love, compassion, social justice, reverence for nature, and the spirituality of music, all within the interconnected web of existence.
