We start the year with a fresh, clear outlook on life. During the talk, you are encouraged to think about who you want to be in the coming year. Different from New Year's Resolutions, this process is about discerning a spiritual value or word that you want to express more fully. You receive a white stone and are invited to write your word upon the stone and use it as a reminder of who you've come here to be.

A Season For Nonviolence
The Season for Nonviolence marks the 64 days between the memorial anniversaries of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. It was co-founded by Arun and Sunanda Gandhi and the Leadership Council of The Association for Global New Thought (AGNT) in 1998. We learn to practice nonviolence one step at a time, one choice at a time, one day at a time. Through our daily nonviolent choices and action, our noble and courageous spirits rise to move the world in the direction of peace.

Self-Acceptance as a Spiritual Practice
Our second principle teaches us that we are divine beings. That each of us is a unique expression of the universe. It invites us to embrace the knowing of our oneness. From this knowing we unfold, we trust and are one with the process of life. When we hold thoughts of not enough, of unworthiness, or shame, we separate ourselves from our true nature. How can we live from our divinity if we are rejecting, disowning, or abandoning ourselves?
Join Casey Wicker for a 6-week exploration of self-acceptance as a spiritual practice. Together we will look at what self-acceptance means to us and discover tools to bring us back to our oneness when our thoughts create an illusion of being separate. Select chapters from the Book “The Self-Acceptance Project…” will be reviewed and discussed. Be kind and compassionate ~ YOU are the universe expressing itself, celebrating itself!

Write Your Story
An experience of writing your life stories
Group-led
We are meeting in April on 4/10 instead of 4/17 due to Easter
Register for the Zoom event:

Stories, memories, tales of the past, call them what you will, memories matter. History paints a broad picture of world, national and local times and events but says little about the individuals who lived through those times. Memories are not experiences to be relived and constantly aired, but to be looked at learned from, and shared so the future may see how life used to be.
Each month this group comes together to develop writing skills, inspire each other, and share stories. A topic for writing is chosen by the group at the end of each session. Each session is group-facilitated.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves
With Gregg Levoy, author & speaker
Hands-on workshop in person and on Zoom
$30 registration fee
Register at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-stories-we-tell-ourselves-tickets-381871035547
We're storytelling animals, and we create stories to help us make sense of life and give us a framework for our decisions, whether personal, professional, or spiritual. But those stories can sometimes turn on us—especially the negative ones—and become self-limiting when they come up against life's primary goal: Grow. And when they become lies of identity—I am what I do, I am what I have, I am what other people think of me.
This presentation—part service talk and part hands-on workshop—is designed to help you identify and reconsider the stories you tell yourself. We’ll work to separate fact from fiction, emphasize the positive in our stories, and understand that they don't keep replaying themselves to torment us, but to offer us opportunities to heal and grow. The soul’s agenda is not punishment, but healing.

The Gathering
A five-week Zoom class on Thursdays

Dates: Thursdays, 10/20-11/17 @ 6:30-8:30 pm
Cost: Love offering
This class is a prerequisite for the Unity Palo Alto Prayer Chaplain Program
Registration is closed
Is prayer a challenge for you? If so, Jim Rosemergy offers a nine-step prayer practice called The Gathering to make it a tad easier. He proposes that "prayer isn't something we do; rather it's an experience of God's presence." Hence, during this interactive course, we will:
- Identify and address the barriers to experiencing and living in Oneness through willingness, release, and forgiveness
- Discover how a consciousness of God is the answer to life's challenges and the key to contentment.
"The Gathering" can become your foundation for a genuine and ever deepening experience of God's presence and power while serving others through the mystery of divine power.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
