Holy Week Meditation Service
2025-04-18 18:00 - 18:45 (America/Los_Angeles) | At the UPA Sanctuary & on Zoom
With Casey Wicker, Licensed Unity Teacher
In-person and on Zoom
This service is offered at 6:00 pm
During this meditation service, we will examine Holy Week through the lens of metaphysical interpretation. Through readings, music, and times of silence, we will be invited to release error thoughts and beliefs that hold us back from opening to the fullness of our divine light. We will travel with the way-shower, Jesus, on a journey to Jerusalem, our metaphysical “habitation of peace.”
