Betrayal: the Unconscious Betrayal

With Ali Davidson

Since the beginning of recorded history women were subjugated and defamed. They were considered the cause and the curse of mankind. Today we feel that we have overcome this historical betrayal, however, statistics are showing us something different. There are many kinds of betrayals and 95% of us will experience some form of betrayal at least once in our lifetime. And this will continue to happen until women recognize how they betray themselves. As a result we will be raising men who have little power, motivation, and strength. If we want to save the world…it starts with us: the creators, mothers, daughters, and sisters. In this talk I will present: the symptoms and signs of self-betrayal and how it affects our lives today, share the antidote to this inner betrayal, and provide three steps to healing this unconscious legacy.

Bring a snack to share at our after service buffet 😁

Member Appreciation

This week we’d like to do an appreciation for Chris Tippets. Chris has been part of our Unity family for the past several months and recently became an official member. Chris, we want to thank you for your weekly help taking the lead moving the chairs in the sanctuary to the side for the Sound Bath and then putting them back for Sunday service. Not an easy job! We also appreciate you being the man behind the camera each week for our Sunday service livestream. It takes some skill getting everyone sharing their celebrations 😊. We are blessed to have you as part of our Unity family! 💕🙏🏽

Prosperity Rant – Gratitude and Prosperity Poem – by Genesis Ilada (Inspired by Rev. Jane’s current prosperity class)

prosperous . Earth . celebration

Good morning starts with profound affirmations

Receiving the newness of life and its

celebration

Admiration abounds for everything like

the clouds and the sun

Traversing above our heads joyfully

showers us as they run

Inside our hearts live a powerful truth

We are abundant!

To vibrate, emanate , attract, allow

a prosperous rant

Up the Mountaintop we see the life our

Mother Earth  provides

Dwelling in knowing , we are blessed with her

holy waters as we dive

Eternally , we affirm we are the way to a

New world helping in each other’s lives
