Frederick CUUPS

Good afternoon, community! Please add a comment to boost visibility. There is no Full Moon Labyrinth Walk this month due to the Frederick Pride parade (most of our organizers are also involved with Frederick Pride). Our next Full Moon Labyrinth Walk and Drum Circle is Friday, August 28th!

Please join us tomorrow, Saturday May 2nd for our Fires of Spring Ritual at the UUCF.
Pls see the details below. 🌸🌳🌿🪴🌺🌷

We gather to kindle the Fires of Spring and dance the maypole together. We invite everyone to channel their whimsy, bring their laughter, strap on some wings or a flower crown and join the Fairy Parade! Through ritual, revelry, dance, and song, we raise a spell of hope, laughter, and renewal.

Please join us for ritual at 7:00 PM, or come early at 5:30 for a potluck social hour. If the weather is nice, we’ll picnic out on the grounds, so you may want a blanket or camp chairs. Please bring your favorite savory or sweet dish to share. Please include a card with the ingredients listed so those with food allergies/sensitivities can make safe choices for themselves.

Children of all ages are welcome! They will join the community for the duration of this ritual. Parents must supervise children and teens as no childcare will be provided.

As part of our Fairy theme, a Trinket Trading station and Wand-Making table will be available during the potluck portion of our gathering.

May is nearly here and the outward spiral draws us toward community, nature, and adventure. Frederick CUUPS is offering many ways to stay connected this spring. This month begins with our annual Fires of Spring ritual and potluck (including a Maypole dance), and also includes the monthly Earth Service, FCUUPS Kids & Teens, our popular Dungeons & Dragons program, the Moon Circle, a Full Moon Labyrinth Walk and Drum Circle, and more!

Herbalism for Spring & Summer
Sunday April 19th 1pm at the UUCF.

Spring and summer invite us outward—into movement, growth, creativity, and connection. In this seasonal herbalism class, we explore plant allies that support the body and nervous system through times of rising energy, heat, and expansion. We will cover herbs that cool inflammation, soothe seasonal allergies, support digestion, regulate stress, and protect the skin as we spend more time outdoors.


This class blends practical herbal knowledge with energetic, astrological, and folk perspectives—honoring both the medicinal actions of plants and their relationships to the sun, moon, and elements. Participants will learn to recognize and harvest common seasonal plants, understand their physical and energetic properties, and explore how to prepare them as teas, oils, salves, and everyday remedies. Throughout the course, we’ll also discuss boundaries, pacing, and nervous system regulation—essential skills for navigating.


This course honors the long, hot days of the year not as something to endure, but as a necessary and sacred phase of the cycle— one that invites you to build confidence in working with herbs as living allies, supporting resilience, vitality, and embodied presence through the season of growth.
