UUSM Camp De Benneville Pines Weekend
JOIN US for UU Santa Monica
All Ages Camp
Fri Sep 16-Sun Sep 18, 2016
Each year, UUCCSM members and friends flock to Camp deBenneville Pines, an idyllic rustic paradise two hours east of Santa Monica (if you leave at the right time on Friday) for our all-church retreat. Join us for a weekend of reveling in nature, ping pong tournaments, dam building, s'mores, tie-dying and sing-along versions of every ‘60s song you know (or don’t).
It's a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the end of summer, and put some intention into fall. You can connect to nature, nourish your spirit, practice archery, go canoeing, and meditate on what it means to be human in a stunning natural environment.
Singles, couples and families young and old enjoy clean mountain air, lots of activities, great camp food and fellowship. Rustic heated cabins are clean and comfortable, with indoor plumbing and hot showers, for "roughing it, gently".
The downloadable registration form is available HERE. Or you can fill it out ONLINE. You can also pay online at the “MAKE A DONATION” link in the upper right-hand corner of this page. If you'd like more information, contact Jacki Weber.
Prices start at $145/person for adults, $85/person for kids and $110 for teens, and that includes all food and activities for the weekend! AND WHEN YOU SIGN UP BY JULY 30th, YOU SAVE!!!
This year we are also offering a limited number of financial aid "camperships" for those who need it. If that's your situation, your camp fee is just half-price (down to a slight $70 per adult), and FREE for kids/teens. Or alternately, if you're flush with cash, you could contribute to the campership pot, which'd help even more campers make it to deBenneville in September. A full camp is a happy camp and we aim to be very happy.

Renee Amitai: Paintings, Etchings, Sculptures
We are pleased to welcome to our Art Wall internationally renowned artist Renee Amitai and her exhibition, “Renee Amitai: Paintings, Etchings, Sculptures.”
Amitai is a seasoned artist trained in many disciplines including painting, sculpture, architecture, and printmaking. She began at École des Beaux Arts in Paris, France; she went on to gain professional experience in fi ne art and architecture in France, Israel, and Italy before moving to the United States in 1984. We look forward to seeing you at the opening reception on Sunday, February 7 from 12 noon to 1:30 pm. The exhibit will run through the month of February.
Much of Amitai’s current artistic infl uence has to do with a focus on the inner, core self accessed by spiritual and literal ways through eyes. Of her artistic infl uences Amitai relates, “Because I trained as an architect, my paintings evolve from geometric abstraction in bold and strong colors to abstract architectonic fi gurations reinforcing The Square, window to the soul.” Amitai further explains her career as follows: “My artistic interest has evolved through the years from printmaking to paintings, back and forth, making my living through my art, in design and architecture. My images went from symbolism to abstract metaphysic landscapes to structural shapes. My paintings are my spiritual odyssey, a search for mystical meanings, translated by light breaking through a slit, a door, a window, an eye.”
Since the mid-1990's, Renee Amitai has exhibited her works all over the world, including France, China, Japan, Korea, the United States, Germany, Russia, and many others. State-side, Renee Amitai is affi liated with the Los Angeles Printmaking Society; in Paris she is part of the association Les Seize Anges and Gallerie Gavart, as well as Gallerie Mu and Les Artistes Independents du Grand Palais Gallerie. Always exploring and always creating, Renee Amitai looks forward to further adventures into her artistic soul, and to reaching out to others.
