Why would she do that if she's secular?

OP, I agree with UU. It's also great you're doing mindfulness things with them. [/quote]

Maybe this feeling she is having/ her child is having is calling her to give it a try.  We all change, evolve.  Be open to new experiences.  [/quote]

This is OP. It sounds like UU is something that I should try. 
To PP suggesting giving church a try- no thanks- that’s the point of my question, something other than church. this is not “a calling” for me/ my children to return/go to church. [/quote]

May I respectfully ask why?  You say that you are "secular," but not atheist/agnostic.  What does that mean?  Plus, you want something that basically has all of the characteristics of church but is not church.  [/quote]

Like most people’s reliogious beliefs, it’s too complicated for an online forum discussion- but briefly, wouldn’t consider myself agnostic since I do believe in the existence of something greater than us. I could be atheist since my definition of that something greater than us is so different from the way god has been taught to me through all my years of catholic education and Protestant church attendance. 
And yep, I want all the good of church without it being far outweighed by the negatives (as seen by a progressive minded person) -is that asking too much? [/quote]

Nope.  You sound like many UU members.  [/quote]
