Central Coast Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
Our 2025-26 program occurs each Sunday at 10:15 am.
A welcoming and liberal spiritual community in Lincoln County, Oregon, since 1984, Unitarian Universalism is a religion welcoming science and reason while honoring mystery and wonder. Visitors Always Welcome.
10:15am: What brings you the greatest joy and meaning in your life?
About the Program: Common sense tells us that when we’re busy doing what we like to do, we tend to forget our aches and pains. It also informs us about the importance of a will to live; that laughter is good medicine; and that without hope, people perish. Indeed, joy and peace of mind are essential for our health and happiness.
When older people are surveyed and asked to reflect back on their lives and what they would have done more of and what they would have done less, they almost always say they would have played more and worked less. It’s not too late. There is great wisdom in Dr. Joseph Campbell’s message, “Follow your bliss.”
What makes your life worth living? What are your real interests, needs, and values? How do you want to spend the time you have left? Dr. Shrock believes that most of us are not taking good care of ourselves, not having fun, and need to reprioritize our lives.
About the Presenter: Dr. Dean Shrock served for many years as Director of Mind-Body Medicine for a physician management group of 40 cancer centers, where he taught and researched a wellness program that improved survival with cancer. He is the bestselling author of Doctor’s Orders: Go Fishing, Why Love Heals: Mind-Body-Spirit Medicine, and Living and Thriving: A Mind-Body-Spirit Program for Wellness. He also co-authored the chapter on Mind-Body Medicine in Dr. Andrew Weil’s 2014 textbook, Integrative Oncology, and is one of the spiritual teachers featured in the 2014 international bestselling book, The Power of the Heart. Dr. Shrock discovered that people who are busy doing what they like to do not only tend to forget their aches and pains, but experience a positive effect on their quality and length of life.
