Free Reiki Sessions
Saturday, January 28th, 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Reiki means "Universal Life Energy" that creates and permeates all that is - including us. We have to this energy for healing and growth. All it takes is the will to use this great gift. Reiki Practitioners of Unity are offering free Reiki treatments to our community. But of course if you want you can leave an Offering which will go to the church. Here's how it works. Each table will have four Reiki for each client. So the treatment will only take 15-20 minutes each. This way we can treat three clients an hour.
There is a appointment sheet with appointment cards on the bulletin board in the foyer, sign up for the time that’s best for you. Please wear comfortable clothes and socks. If you have any questions please call Berti Greene 578-9742.

New Member Orientation (NeMO)
On a Sunday from 1:30-4:30 P.M. - check our Calendar
New Member Recognition (NeMeR)
On a Sunday during 9:00 and 11:00 A.M. Services - check our Calendar
Join our Licensed Unity Teacher, Linda Anthony, for the New Member Orientation (NEMO). You will learn about the Unity movement and get all your questions answered. Every prospective member also needs to read one of these books: Lessons in Truth by Emilie Cady, The 5 Principles by Rev. Ellen Debenport, Unity: A Quest for Truth by Rev. Eric Butterworth or Heart Centered Metaphysics by Paul Hasselbeck.
Why become a member? The answer is different for each person, but members report a greater sense of belonging and connectedness. Members have voting privileges at the annual meeting giving them a voice in determining the future of our spiritual community. Each month our dedicated Prayer Chaplains will contact every member to pray with them over the phone.
What’s expected of me as a member? Every member gets to determine the level of involvement that is best for them. Supporting the church with your prayers, wealth, talent, or time is up to you. While many members find that the auto-tithe program is an easy way to donate their financial resources while providing the church with a sustainable and predictable income, other members prefer to give if and when they can. The same goes for volunteering. There are abundant opportunities to participate in one or more of the teams. Most people find volunteering very rewarding. You will be given an opportunity to sign up at the NEMO session.
If you still have questions call the office and leave a message for one of the Membership Team members to call you back,
or see Linda Anthony or Eve Sckolnik after the service on Sundays.

A Course in Miracles
Tuesdays, 7:15-9:00 pm
 A Course in Miracles is a complete self-study spiritual thought system. As a three-volume curriculum consisting of a Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers, it teaches
that the way to universal love and peace—or remembering God—is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. The Course thus focuses on the healing of relationships and making them holy. A Course in Miracles also emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum, of which there are "many thousands." Consequently, even though the language of the Course is that of traditional Christianity, it expresses a non-sectarian, non-denominational spirituality. A Course in Miracles therefore is a universal spiritual teaching, not a religion.

Unity Basics Class
none scheduled, stay tuned...
This is a class that teaches how the Unity movement was started and the basic Unity principals. This class is for those of you who are new to Unity or if you just want to learn or refresh yourself with the basic Unity teachings. To have a better understanding of Unity metaphysics, you must have a proper foundation and this class will give you that. Also if you are serious about working on your spiritual growth, this class is a must.
In the class you will find out more about how Charles and Myrtle Fillmore founded Unity, and what they taught, and get your questions answered. This will be a very exciting opportunity for new people to "get their spiritual feet wet," and others to refresh their understanding. Everyone is welcome to attend. It will be led by Licensed Unity Teacher Linda Anthony and will meet in the Kids’ House (next door to the left of the church). As in all classes, a love offering will be taken. The class will be repeated quarterly, so if you miss a session, you can come back for it the next time around.

Deeksha Blessing
Sunday, January 15th, 1:00 - 3:00 pm
 Give your self a gift of Oneness now. Create a space in your mind to experience your own Essence, the Oneness with all, with the God you are within. The Oneness Blessing/Deeksha is a neurological, electrical intelligent energy that is passed on through a brief hands on transmission. Once we have the constant mind chatter muted, we are in touch with our Higher Selves, our God Self. This is where healing begins. This is where we can contribute to changing the negative vibrations which are threatening our world. And it feels good.
 Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) originated in India, and is well known through out India and Europe. Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) punches a hole through the wall of the
mind. It is a hands-on transference of a Divine intelligent energy. This process creates a neurobiological shift in the brain and awakens the chakras (energy centers) in the body. This shift in consciousness begins to free you from the suffering created by the constant chattering of the mind. It balances the body's natural healing energies and attunes the brain, bringing a gradual end to the illusion of separation, thus Oneness.
Suggested Love Offering $25 individual / $35 family

Tai Chi with Julie
First class, Tuesday, November 1st, 5:30 -6:15 pm...ongoing weekly
As a 4th-degree Black Belt in Shao-lin Kung Fu, Julie will instruct the 24-posture Combined Tai Chi form to participants. We will have a three-phase progression during the class. It will progress from warming up with stretches and six elemental Chi-Kung postures, to stepping and turning, to a learning of the form in segments of 3 movements per section.
This will be an on-going seminar to instill flexibility, balance, and strength within the participants. Upon completion of satisfactory memory and conditioning, a second class will open to incorporate sticky-hands, blind-folded, sparring. Every move is focused on instilling a sense of perfect balance as well as the ability to discern ego-attacks and how to quietly and quickly respond to these disruptions with de-escalation, peace, and calm. Each class will instill the 4 essential concepts which surround Tai Chi as well as initiating the stories and surrounding culture of this amazing sport. Literature will be reviewed and suggested for participant expansion of understanding. This class will focus on creating a relaxing and enveloping atmosphere in which to rejuvenate for the day or evening activities. We will learn and practice the essential skills. As a group, the energy will compound to create decreased stress and increased focus.Please contact Julie Goldstein to register and answer questions-719 494-6710

The Cherished Body: Making Peace with Our Bodies in a Body Hating World
Saturday, January 21st, 1:00 - 5:00 pm
Suggested Love Donation of $10
We get many, many messages every day that tell us our bodies are not ok as they are. We are told our bodies need fixed – we are too fat, too thin, too old, too whatever – on a regular basis. Many of the actions which are supposed to improve our situations actually cause harm to our bodies and our self-esteem. We are encouraged to wrestle our bodies into submission rather than to learn how to work with our physical selves to find health on every level.
If you are interested in:
* loving your body today
* finding ways to increase your body image and self-esteem
* truly becoming healthier physically, mentally and emotionally (no matter what your current situation is)
* discovering a joyful relationship with healthy eating and exercise
* making a friend of your body
...then this workshop is for you. Using meditations and exercises designed to increase self-esteem and body awareness, we will explore and improve our relationships with our bodies as well as with food and exercise.
Dr. Lonie McMichael has a PhD in Technical Communication and Rhetoric from Texas Tech University. She is the author of two upcoming books and an expert on societal messages about bodies, food and exercise as well as a proponent of Health At Every Size, a revolutionary approach to health that has shown remarkable promise for a healthier, more loving society.
For more information, please feel free to email Lonie at... loniemc@yahoo.com
