Guest Speaker

We are incredibly honored for Marianne Williamson to speak to us via Zoom on Sunday, May 31.

Rev. Kathy Zavada will be in the church leading us in music, song, prayer and meditation.

A Morning with Marianne Williamson

With the world experiencing a historic phase transition, humanity stands at a crossroads between the fall of Rome and a new world struggling to be born.

How can each of us more powerfully participate in the internal and external changes that will foster a season of global repair? How do we cultivate an integrative, holistic approach to regeneration, employing tools as disparate as meditation and social activism?

Join Marianne Williamson for a 21st Century conversation about where all of us are going now.

About Marianne Williamson

For more than four decades, Marianne Williamson has been a leader of spiritual and progressive circles. She is the author of 17 books, four of which have been #1 The New York Times best sellers. A quote from the mega-bestseller A Return to Love, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.

Her other bestsellers have included A Woman’s Worth, The Law of Divine Compensation, Tears to Triumph and The Gift of Change. With her books and online classes she has taught millions of people the universal spiritual principles at the heart of miracle-minded thinking.

Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 20 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients in the Los Angeles area since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace.

Williamson’s latest book, MIDLIFE AWAKENING: Creating a Miraculous next Chapter, is available at your favorite bookseller.

About Peggy Rubin

Peggy Rubin is founding director of the Center for Sacred Theatre in Ashland, Oregon. She is a Shakespearean actress and leads workshops in Living Life as Sacred Theatre and Sacred Studies of the Divine Feminine. Since 1987, she has also been the principal teaching associate of Dr. Jean Houston.

Working with Jean, Peggy has presented classes, workshops and trainings throughout the United States, and in Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Sweden, Greece, Egypt, The Netherlands, India, West Africa, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Jamaica, and on behalf of the United Nations Development Programme, in Albania, St. Lucia, Barbados, Kenya, and the Philippines.

In her book, To Be and How To Be: Transforming Your Life through Sacred Theatre, Peggy highlights the “Nine Powers of Sacred Theatre” to probe the sacred theatre of our lives as a spiritual path of transformation.

Spirituality and Practice summarizes Peggy’s teaching as:

“The metaphor of life as the stage on which we embody our passion and purpose is a rich one…[and]…The important thing to remember is that each of us is the leading character in our life, which means we must do our best to be at our best. It is also essential that we develop the story of our life and put it in sync with the unfolding story of Life on Earth. There is no need to lock ourselves in the past or flee into the future; the present moment offers us ample dramatic opportunities.”

Peggy has studied extensively with Elaine De Beauport, Ed.D., founder of the Mead Institute, leading teacher of humanistic and behavioral applications of current brain/mind research; and with William Emerson, Ph.D., pioneer in the field of pre- and peri-natal psychology, and its importance in understanding human development.

In 2019, Peggy was awarded an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters from Meridian University.

Unfortunately, Gangaji will not be able to join us this Sunday, but the Gangaji Foundation has prepared a special video for us.

Hello friends,

We are writing with an important update about this Sunday’s service at Unity Community of Ashland.

Gangaji was originally scheduled to join the service in person as a guest speaker, but because of a recent flare-up of leg pain she is unable to join the gathering. She is taking good care, has all the support she needs, and sends her love and appreciation to everyone.

Reverend Kathy Zavada, who is leading the service and musical program (joined by Lark Lovejoy and Jim Sitter), will include a short video from Gangaji, You Cannot Think Your Way Home, followed by silent sitting.

You are still warmly invited to join the service in person or online.

About Gangaji

Gangaji, born Toni Roberson, grew up in Mississippi. Like many of her contemporaries, she searched for fulfillment through relationships, career, motherhood, subculture experiences, political activism, and spiritual practice.

While she had never planned to go to India, it was on the banks of the Ganges River that her search ended. In 1990, Gangaji met her teacher, Sri H.W.L. Poonja.

Today, as a teacher and author, Gangaji speaks to people from all walks of life inviting them to fully recognize the absolute freedom and unchanging peace that is the truth of one’s being.

Gangaji is the author of several books including:

The Diamond In Your Pocket: Discovering Your True Radiance

Hidden Treasure: Uncovering The Truth In Your Life Story

Freedom and Resolve: The Living Edge of Surrender

You Are That Volume 1 & 11
