Sacred Silence Meditation
2026-03-26 19:15 - 20:00 | Unity Palo Alto, 3391 Middlefield Rd Palo Alto, CA 94306
Some evenings call for quiet. Sacred Silence Meditation is a drop-in gathering that offers a gentle, intentional pause at the end of your week. Join us on Thursdays from 7:15 to 8:00 PM at Unity Palo Alto or Zoom for the 45-minute session open to anyone who wants to set down the noise of the week and rest in stillness for a while. Perfect for anyone who feels the pull toward the quiet or are curious about silent meditation vs. guided
What to expect– The evening begins with a few minutes of connection to help you release the busyness you carried in. – From there, a brief reading rooted in universal spiritual principles settles the room before the group enters into shared silence together. – This is not a guided meditation with prompts or instructions. The silence is open and spacious, giving you room to simply be present and allow your own awareness to deepen. – The gathering closes with an affirmative prayer that brings a sense of grounded peace to carry with you into the rest of your evening.
If you have been feeling scattered, overstimulated, or disconnected from yourself, this is a space designed with you in mind!

You already have everything you need to create the life you desire. You just need to remember how to use it.
Within you right now are twelve spiritual powers—innate capacities that, when consciously activated, transform how you navigate challenges, create possibilities, and live with radiance and purpose.
In this 6-week journey through Sarah Connors’ Adventures in Resilience, you’ll move beyond simply knowing about the 12 Powers to actually experiencing and expressing them in your daily life.
This is a shared exploration—not a lecture. We learn from each other’s insights, questions, and real-life applications.
Together, we’ll:

Read and reflect on each of the 12 Powers between sessions
Share our discoveries about how these powers show up (or hide) in our lives
Explore reflection questions that reveal each person’s unique expression of these capacities
Craft and share personal affirmations that activate and strengthen our spiritual powers
Support one another in a safe, inclusive community of fellow seekers
Learn from each other’s practical applications in relationships, work, and everyday decisions

You’ll walk away with:

A deeper understanding of your 12 spiritual powers and how to access them
Personal affirmations you’ve created to anchor these powers in your consciousness
Real-world practices for expressing Faith, Strength, Wisdom, Love, Power, Imagination, Understanding, Will, Order, Zeal, Renunciation, and Life
Insights gleaned from others’ journeys and shared wisdom
Greater resilience when life throws you curveballs

Whether you’re new to Unity’s teaching on the 12 Powers or ready to deepen your practice, this discussion group creates space for all of us to unlock the spiritual capacities already within us—and use them to create lives of greater peace, purpose, and radiance.
Your spiritual magnificence is waiting to be activated. Let’s awaken it together.

Bench Yoga Meditation
2026-04-12 08:00 - 17:00, 2026-04-12 11:30 - 12:00 | Fireside Room, 1933 Middlefield Rd
Looking for a new way to meditate or start your meditation practice? Bench Yoga & Meditation is a 30-minute workshop with author and teacher Eric Armstrong, offered on Sunday, April 12 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This session focused on energy flow and consciousness is open to anyone looking for a practical, accessible way to settle the body, quiet the mind, and connect an energy that feels larger than everyday life.
The session opens with a short bench yoga practice designed to help the body release tension and prepare for stillness. Chairs work just as well as a bench, so there is no special equipment required.
After the movement practice, Eric leads a guided meditation drawing from traditional techniques as well as practices he has developed and refined through thirty years of personal study and daily use. The format is gentle, welcoming, and designed to work for people at any stage of their practice.
Whether you are new to yoga or looking for a fresh routine started to feel routine, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, renewed and ready
Continuing your practice
The yoga and meditation taught in this class are designed as a template that participants can return to on their own, at home, at their own pace.
Every attendee will leave with two practical tools: a meditation calendar for tracking a regular practice over time, and a six-day practice chart with space to fill in as new techniques are learned.
This event is open to everyone. A suggested donation of $10 is welcome but not required. No registration is needed. Just come.
What to Bring:
– Wear loose, comfortable clothing
– Shoes that are easy to take on and off
– A yoga mat if you prefer sitting on the floor
– A meditation cushion if you have one
– A pen and something to write on (note-taking is encouraged)
