Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a Lifespan Sexuality Education helps participants make informed and responsible decisions about their relationships, sexual health, and behavior by providing accurate, developmentally appropriate information about a range of topics, including relationships, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, sexual health, and cultural influences on sexuality.
You can see the schedule and topics for each session here. At the Legal Guardian Orientation, we will let you know where each session will take place as some sessions will take place at the First UU Society in Newton and some sessions will take place at First Parish in Needham. We have two facilitators from each congregation who will be a part of a rotation teaching OWL this year.
