The Care and Feeding of WordPress, March 17 & 24

How you present yourself in cyberspace can determine how you land your next job or meet your next business partner. Thanks to WordPress, maintaining your own website is easy. All manner of photographers, designers, creatives, consultants and professionals now claim a WP site as their online presence, often integrating social media as part of their site.

This class will focus on the organization and maintanence required and how dashboard elements relate to the end product. We will use the structure of our own church’s web site as one of many examples how things work from the administrative side, de-mystifying many of the more advanced features and capabilities of WordPress. The class assumes zero familiarity with website languages or content management systems.

Two Saturdays in March, 3/17 and 3/24, 10:00 a.m. – noon. $20 suggested love offering; all proceeds go to Unity of Berkeley.

Tim McGraw is a consultant specializing in business-to-business marketing and has been self-employed for most of his professional life. A native of Kansas City, Mo., he has been a Berkeley resident since 1996 and has been active in Unity of Berkeley since 2002.

Sunday Service ~ January 29 ~ “The Spontaneity of Protest” ~ Eric Shaw

10:00am Meditation 10:30am service

Protest happens at many levels. The conscience protests, the body protests, the spirit protests. We are taken over by the event, and sometimes the social body is equally taken over. I’ll explore these themes in their social, psychic and physical matrices.

The Dark Side of the Light Chasers ~ New class with Rev. DeeAnn Weir Morency

8 Thursday, February 9th – March 29th ~ 7-9pm Unity of Berkeley
Cost: $150

Reclaiming Your Power, Creativity, Brilliance and Dreams

Why do certain situations or people affect us more intensely than others? The annoying co-worker who truly gets under your skin, an arrogant boss, or a rude stranger? Why do they continue to get to us time after time?

Each situation, person, or event that triggers us is actually a messenger, offering us rich clues as to where we are not experiencing Wholeness. They illuminate aspects of ourselves we are not willing to look at directly, that live in the shadow. When we consciously and compassionately recognize and embrace our own shadow, we heal in deep and profound ways. We liberate ourselves and unlock our greatest gifts and talents.

Using Debbie Ford’s book – The Dark Side of the Light Chasers – Reclaiming Your Power, Creativity, Brilliance, and Dreams, this 8 week experiential workshop will be a personal exploration of the shadow realm as a path towards Light and Wholeness. We will be drawing from many traditions including New Thought, Ken Wilbur’s Integral Theory, as well as Transpersonal Psychology.

Sunday, February 26 ~ 1-3:30pm
$25 pre-registration / $30day of

Yoga isn’t just physical. It’s a full-on practice that has expanded its skill set for 3000 years. This is barely touched on in daily classes, but in Yoga x 3, we’ll focus broadly, learning touching the unity the tradition: it’s history, philosophy and practice . . . in a 3-hour sweep.

In this training, we’ll re-engineer mind and body with new postures, breathing practices, and health secrets, while learning the philosophy and history behind yoga’s vast and varied techniques.

Students who finish this workshop will learn how yoga came to be, understand its beliefs, and learn new ways to align breath, body and mind.

Celebration of Life for Barbara Dexter ~ Saturday, January 7 ~ 11am

Come and celebrate the life of our dear sister and peace activist on Saturday, January 7 at 11am.

Our Beloved Friend, Barbara made her transition on Friday afternoon, December 23rd. She was at home with her cats, Tux and Jude. Barbara had been cared for and surrounded by her brother Craig and her dear friends for many days prior to her very swift passing. Her cousin Mary from the east coast shared this about her nightly calls to Barbara.

“There’s no question in my mind that Barbara knew her blessings, as I often reminded her that she was surrounded by people caring about her, trying to support her through all that was to come, holding her up as best we could.. There were many times in my working years, when I realized that there are SO many people, who are ALONE…. whether they are surrounded by people, or not… I asked Barbara how many people she could think of, whose cousin would call from clear across the country to do “bed checks” every night! She would laugh, but then turn it to counting her blessings. And, I really feel that she KNEW how to count those blessings, no matter what.”
