A Life of Creative Flow and Grace | Teachings, Meditations and Chants to Saraswati

with Special Guest Ananda Das

This Sunday we welcome back musician and speaker Ananda Das! We are excited to welcome him once again to share his wisdom and beautiful songs.

The yogic teachings share that Saraswati is the embodiment of the arts, wisdom, learning, grace and flow. As we awaken, we come refine our awareness of how the divine is embodying these qualities in our life. For many of us, we struggle to find a state of grace, flow, creativity, and refinement that Saraswati represents. Come learn more about this timeless Goddess and how to embody these qualities within yourself.

Ananda will also be doing our Sunday service music.

Bring a snack to share at our after service buffet 😁

In Loving Memory of Barbara Wolgamott

We got word that Barbara Wolgamott, one of our Partners in Unity (the group that owns our property) and Unity member, passed peacefully in her sleep in the early morning hours of June 6.  She was 86. Her husband Dick says, “We had a good life together (64 years of marriage) and it was time for her to end the struggle of these last 2 + months. Our understanding is that we are spiritual beings, having a human experience we call a lifetime.  She returns now to the spiritual dimension and dances with angels.  I miss her greatly, but know that she is in her proper place and all is well.” For those of you who knew Barbara before they moved to Bainbridge Island, you will remember her as always smiling and loving. She dwelt in the mystical realms regularly. Many years ago she served in the NICU unit of a North Carolina hospital. She would simply hold those babies and infuse them with love and strength. Sensitive people could feel her energy radiating through the entire hospital. She was a force for good and she left a mark on our community’s heart. Fly free and joyfully, dear Barbara. And Dick, we hold you in our heart as you make this transition.

Dick’s request – I would invite you to remember something beautiful that you shared with her and then make that energy more a part of your life as you continue with your human experience.  Ultimately the thing that matters most is the love we share.  Know that every expression of love helps to make the world a better place. 🙏🏽💕🌈🕊

Members Appreciation

We are so fortunate to have our amazing prayer leaders & prayer team! What is the prayer team you ask? They are a group of trained volunteers who make themselves available to pray and respond to prayer claims. They are available in person after service and they respond to your prayer claim forms via call, text, and email. They are notified if someone in our community needs an urgent prayer for themselves or a friend and will personally pray and respond if requested. One of the primary beliefs of Unity is the power of prayer. We regularly have members who share stories of how prayer has helped them. If you’re on our prayer team we appreciate you so very much! Know that you touch lives each and every day 🙏🏽💕. Thank you for your time and powerful energy.
