Our Whole Lives (OWL) – A UU Approach to Lifespan Sexuality Education

Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a comprehensive, age-appropriate sexuality education program co-developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Rooted in the values of respect, responsibility, justice, and inclusivity, OWL supports individuals in making informed and compassionate decisions about relationships and sexuality.

In the Unitarian Universalist tradition, OWL reflects our faith’s commitment to:

• Affirming the worth and dignity of every person

• Promoting justice, equity, and compassion in human relations

• Encouraging spiritual growth and open dialogue

Key Features:

• Available for all age groups—from kindergarten to older adults

• Inclusive of diverse identities, family structures, and experiences

• Focused on consent, body autonomy, sexual health, and healthy relationships

• Delivered by trained facilitators in safe, nonjudgmental environments

OWL is not just a curriculum—it’s a ministry of truth-telling, empowerment, and love, embodying UU principles through education that fosters personal integrity and community responsibility.
