Sunday Services in May ~ Conscious Creation

Unity of Berkeley ~ Rev DeeAnnMay 5 – The Call of Conscious Creation
With every breath and every thought we create – whether consciously or unconsciously – at our essence we are all creative beings. Join Rev. DeeAnn for one last talk as we dive into what it means to answer the call of Conscious Creation and explore how a consciousness of gratitude and compassion directly impacts our experience of the world.

May 12 – Mother’s Day Special Service
Join Rev. DeeAnn as we celebrate the Divine Mother both within and without. This special Mother’s Day service will explore what we are each being called to nurture and support within ourselves and in the world. Please bring a sacred “mother” object for the altar. Musical Inspiration: Rosana Schutte

May 19 – Co-Creators in the Evolution of Consciousness
Guest Speaker: Laurie Largent
Does the evolution of consciousness just happen or is it determined by our choices? Is destiny something which is known before we are born or is it created as we go along? Join Laurie Largent as she offers her insights, excerpts from readings she has done and personal life experience. Musical Inspiration: Sam Frank
