Just returned from India, Rev. Patricia and Elizabeth are Certified Oneness Trainers.

At the end of the weekend you may choose to be initiated as a Oneness Blessing Giver and offer this blessing to your friends and family.

* Learn a simple formula for success and happiness in inner and outer life

The Oneness Blessing is a non-denominational experience that awakens our connection with the Oneness in everything, allowing us to deepen our relationship with the Divine, with those we love, with ourselves, and with all that is.
