Circle Dinners
Circle Dinners are groups of 6 to 8 people who meet approximately once a month for dinner and conversation at the home of one of the circle members or at Prairie’s Meeting House or Annex. Circle Dinners are organized each fall, but new members can be added at any time. Some dinner groups include children, while others may be organized for adults only. If you’d like to join a Circle Dinner group, please contact the Membership Committee at membership[AT]uuprairie.org

The Humanist Union of Madison is affiliated nationally with the American Humanist Association and locally with Prairie. The group meets occasionally after a Sunday service, for a potluck lunch and discussion. The meeting speaker and topic are posted on Prairie’s calendar and on the Humanist Union of Madison Events page. If you have questions about the group, email Humanist Union of Madison.

Interweave is a group for Prairie members and friends who are LGBTQ+ or allies. We meet about once a month with the goal of supporting one another as well as helping to make Prairie a more inclusive community. To join us, send an email to Katrina Thompson at yaghaffar.yaghafur[AT]gmail.com
Covenant Groups
Covenant groups consist of 6-10 people who meet regularly to discuss significant life topics. In each session, all participants have the opportunity to share their perspectives, tell their stories, and listen deeply. Participants get to know each other at a deeper level than is possible at coffee hour or a typical social event. To find out more about Covenant Groups, contact our admin at admin [AT] uuprairie.org
