Guest Speaker

Dr. Marcia Emery will speak on “The Dynamic Duo: Intuition and Dreams”.

Marcia Emery, Ph.D., is the author of The Intuitive Healer and one of the foremost authorities on the power of intuition to change our lives.

Dr. Carl Jung advised listening to the wisdom of the dream. Using intuition, you can process an entire dream and instantly retrieve the dream wisdom. Once I dreamed of someone being held up at gunpoint. Setting my surprise aside, my intuitive mind quickly signaled the “hold up” or delay of an impending contract.

Intuition can illuminate dreams to provide previews of upcoming events. Through such dreams you might discover opportunities for personal advancement, such as employment, and ways to preview future partnerships. Dreams can also warn you and help you prevent, or deal with, potential accidents or impending health challenge. When you begin paying attention, like many people you may find that an “Intuitive Doorway” has opened in your dreams.

Guest Musicians

Music will be provided by Lark Lovejoy and James Jarvis.

Rev. Kathy shares:

I am so looking forward to an uplifting service this Sunday with the focus being on Imagination. Einstein said imagination was even more important than knowledge, that it was essential for us to be curious, to often wonder what more is possible for us, in our lives, and for humanity.I believe each of our lives has a sacred purpose. And we should often ask, what is the still voice inside asking of me now? What am I here to learn? What am I here to offer? What does my present authentic expression look like?

Joseph Campbell describes our life journey as the Hero’s Journey, the call to adventure, a grand summons that beckons the hero to leave old concepts and conditioning and journey forth into new ways of being. And, the hero is usually reluctant to leave what is comfortable and habitual, often refusing the call or delaying it. We often find change calling, but it feels like an inconvenient time or just too much effort.But, once the hero accepts the call, then he or she receives special aid on the adventure; magical allies who help the hero make important decisions and discover new possibilities in themselves. I think of our spiritual community of equal co-creators as these kind of allies, spiritual friends that come together, lift each other up, and empower one another to imagine our greater possibilities, both individually and as community.I hope you will join us for a magical, wonderful Sunday with beautiful music, including one of my favorites, Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

Safe & Supportive

UCOA’s Grief Support Group led by Rev. Kathy Zavada is a safe and supportive environment to help those who are going through a process of grieving. Grief can feel daunting, especially in the first year of bereavement.

All are welcome.

What to Expect

Meditation, chanting, and sharing from the heart.

We will share what does and doesn’t work for us in our grieving process.

We will provide a gently guided circle and create a space for each person to share their grief process and favorite memories of the person who died.

We will discuss what our relationship with the person who is no longer in the physical realm feels like.

We will honor all emotions and create a nurturing circle to understand and explore our grieving process.

Love Offerings

Attendance is by donation to support UCOA and are greatly appreciated. Your donations help UCOA periodically offer these Grief Support Groups throughout the year.

We have a beautiful service planned for this Sunday at Unity Community. I will be speaking on “The Power of Forgiveness”. I have spent many years on a journey learning about love, desiring to open to and express greater love and I have found that one of the greatest expressions of love possible, is forgiveness. Perhaps because it is sometimes the hardest way to express love, it is most precious.Forgiveness is a big deal; it is a cleaned slate. And without it, we cannot fully know the presence of peace. It softens us, loosens our deeply ingrained habits and hardened stances, and it releases us into an awareness of greater freedom.We will explore how we can get trapped in “the mind of aversion”, and how it is a kind and a wise thing to free our mind from aversion in all of its form while we have the time to practice and cultivate equanimity.We will explore how to forgive is not to condone actions that are negative or harmful. We can use discriminating wisdom, forgive and still get ourselves out of a situation that is unhealthy, intolerable, or toxic in any way.And we will explore in more depth the unique process of self-forgiveness. We’ll explore how regret need not make us suffer, but can be useful in that it reminds us of the past so we might learn from it, respond to it, and be a better person as a result.I look forward to exploring together how we may all develop our capacity to let go of the past, let go of animosity and judgment, and experience forgiveness as the ultimate peacemaker. May we all hold the space for peace in our world.I hope to see you Sunday for a beautiful worship experience filled with uplifting music, heart connection, celebration, stillness and love!

Rev. Kathy has a very interesting talk planned on “Spiritually Inspired Democracy”.

“It is not political,” she shares. “But, it is focused on how the highest expression of democracy is living in a way we feel we are the body of the Christ, that each cell matters and has a voice, and that we work in harmony for the greatest good of all.

“We’ll explore how we might restore and grow the common good, working together to create a more perfect union.

“I have some wonderful music planned, and so I hope to see you there, as it is not the same without you.”
