I believe in a Spirit that moves through all things, in the inherent divinity of all beings, and in the responsibility of all of us - in community - to create the kind of world that respects and celebrates this divinity. This journey of faith is a long and winding path, full of surprises and unexpected gifts, sometimes joyful and sometimes lonely. I am honored and excited to walk the path with you for a little while. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/8eca2bb9-bb4f-4a08-a730-76af00af2976/24312542_10213046580813476_5673986839007685209_n.jpg Shay MacKay I approach my ministry with intention, attention, and compassionate curiosity. By opening myself up to integration of my Catholic heritage, continued exploration of the feminine divine and pagan practices, connection with Nature and wisdom from a variety of peoples and cultures, I have been able to create a hybrid language and liturgy that is meaningful, whatever your language of the holy may be. While our differences add flavor and depth to any relationship, what’s even more important for me is our shared grief at immense loss, our common fear of the unknown, our unexpected delight in the small things. It is through our shared experiences of deep emotion that we open up to one another in ways that relationship and transformation can occur. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/2b5b6741-ab5c-46b1-a713-c10ebb92412b/candle-1280524_1920+2.jpg Shay MacKay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/1647618711080-RBDG13RM1V49J7IVH1VK/candle-1039538_1920+2.jpg Shay MacKay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/1647618794652-UKD38Y1T3A6LUCZLDOB3/lantern-1035717_1920.jpg Shay MacKay https://www.sacreddepths.com/consulting-education daily 0.75 2022-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/5f6f4294-8192-4914-bfd5-c7aea142af28/colour-1885352_1920.jpg Consulting & Education - Creative Jump-Start Consulting with Rev. Diana McLean Are you working on a project and feeling stuck creatively? Do you need help fine-tuning the details, or mapping out the bigger picture? I'm happy to serve as a thought partner and creative brainstormer with you, to help make your project the best it can be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/93599147-6d56-49f3-954e-a2c91a24fe38/wave-64170_1920.jpg Consulting & Education - Discernment Circles with Rev. Shay MacKay Sometimes in life we are able to discern our way forward with little effort; at other times, what our hearts want, what our souls need, can seem tangled up in "shoulds" or drowned out by the voices of others in our lives. Sometimes it can help to have trusted companions gather around to help you focus. https://www.sacreddepths.com/diana-mclean daily 0.75 2022-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/85515069-6187-4fbd-b839-5f9c7cfcb2bf/IMG_5093.JPG Diana McLean I am a nearly lifelong Unitarian Universalist (UU), a published freelance writer and poet, and a queer, fully-fellowshipped and ordained UU minister married to another queer UU minister. I have always understood my writing as a way to be Love’s voice in the world. I grew up in a military family with roots in North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and have lived in three countries and twelve states so far. My passions include reading, writing, jigsaw puzzles, photography and scrapbooking, and travel. My favorite job title of all time is Mom to my son Aidan, who is now 19. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/be79de13-f388-48dd-b5fe-1c2b4cf5070a/Diana+McLean+Portrait2007.jpg Diana McLean My passions for spirituality, social justice, and writing have been constant themes in my life. When I chose a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program, I chose one known for its focus on activism. When I was called to ministry, I was certain that it would be a community ministry related to writing. My choice of seminary was again influenced by a commitment to social justice. Although I ended up discerning a call to the parish context, that original desire to combine ministry and writing has never left me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/1b48b9a3-5c89-4fc8-8594-0b9d55c1086d/books-1845614_1920.jpg Diana McLean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/1647633946568-11UK7VAJMPN3ZWIHYOQ7/flowers-4948265_1920.jpg Diana McLean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/1647634000887-4RJ6ZGDFYCHFVTSWB5JH/sparkler-4629347_1920+copy.jpg Diana McLean https://www.sacreddepths.com/congregational-packages daily 0.75 2022-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Congregational Packages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Congregational Packages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Congregational Packages https://www.sacreddepths.com/about-us daily 0.75 2022-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/319d4d0e-8330-4d64-b4d1-5bc503721581/IMG_2443.jpg About Us - We're a clergy couple called to a ministry of spirituality and the arts. Our personal theologies are a mix of spiritual humanism, pantheism, divine feminine, and eco-spirituality. We followed very different paths to Unitarian Universalist ministry - read more about our individual journeys in our bios below! Both Midwesterners at heart, we have each lived in many places throughout our lives and currently live in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, with a teenager, two cats, and lots (and lots) of books. We love travel, camping trips, family movie nights, and playing games over Zoom with our moms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/1647447151618-0JGG4YDJZOG6Z4KJKMN4/IMG_2632+copy.JPG About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/1647447208730-P151B97R8EESFW9IOOBL/DianaMcLean+copy.JPG About Us https://www.sacreddepths.com/workshops daily 0.75 2025-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230094dc159e87c5ca26647/f009b410-a33f-42e9-80d9-aedc60e1f800/summerfield-336672_1920.jpg Workshops - A Geography of Grace Using metaphors from the geography of land and sky, these workshops lead into an exploration of the geography of the soul, with the notion of grace and its many facets woven throughout each session.
