“Who’s Your Mama?” Claiming Kinship and Worthiness.

With Rev. Jane Hiatt

Each of us is a child of the universe and that gives us an inheritance and worth that are innate—if we claim them!

Bring a snack to share at our after service buffet 😁

Community Grief Ceremony Begins Tomorrow

March 9th – 11th at Unity

Grief is an invitation to feel. It invites us to come into the body to shed light on those things that are ready to be released in order to heal. Because of this, we must have ways to move our pain. Grief needs to be regularly felt and released or it begins to smother our joy, creativity, and our ability to connect with our self and others. This ceremony will be hosted by three trained guides and begins Thursday evening, runs all day Friday, and until 2:00 PM on Saturday. Unity members receive special pricing.
