Deepening into Inkan Wisdom

w/Jeanette Monterio, Sunday August 7 ~ 1-3pm ~ Love Offering $20
Have you ever found that you have picked up unwanted energy from another or from the environment? What to do? As spiritual beings, we have the power to transform that energy and return it to its rightful place! We are the vessels and the vehicles for the transformation/evolution of this planet. Jeanette studied this process through her initiations in Inka Mysticism (Fourth Level Priestess). Explore how this is aligned with Unity Principles and how to apply this to your life. After the service, join Jeanette for a workshop experience to deepen this practice into your daily life.

The Glow within the Flame ~ begins August 4 ~ Dennis Edds

4 Thursdays, August 4-25 ~ 7-8:30pm with Dennis Edds

Love offering (100% benefit to Unity of Berkeley)

This class would do informal staged readings of a play I wrote 3 years ago. The play deals with the intersection of spirituality and politics. While it does not overtly teach or espouse Unity Principles, I think its spirit and message are congruent with them.

The emphasis of the class is on having fun with dramatic art and discussing the implications and possible meanings of the work. It is not about cultivating acting skill or doing anything publicly with the play.

5 people, at the least, needed for class to continue.

CORE VALUE PROCESS ~ June 12 during Sunday Service

An open letter from the Transition Team to all congregants re:
Paving the way towards selecting our future minister.
May 19, 2011
Greetings to you, dear Unity of Berkeley Community!

By now you have surely heard about Unity of Berkeley’s awesome Transition Team. You’ve even heard (or read) updates about our spiritually affirming process of paving the way towards selection of our next minister.

Well, now is the time for a vital next step: a step that directly involves YOU!

Sunday, June 12th our service will be focused on defining the “Core Values” of our unique spiritual community. Some might ask, “But, aren’t our core values already clear?” Whereas, avowedly we are truly all One with another, each spiritual community also has its own style/flavor/emphasis, determined by the unique combination of its congregants. Yes, by YOU. And so Unity of Berkeley is committed to calling forth the minister who is a match for our unique community. Yes, again. A match for unique YOU!

The guided process we plan to use on Sunday the 12th is engaging, thought-provoking and affirming….in other words, you don’t want to miss it! Moreover, your personal input in this process is INVALUABLE to us at this point in our search. Come take your favorite place in the pews. We’ll guide you through the rest of this truly meaningful process!

A spiritual community is many things to the people it serves. Whether you attend UofB weekly, occasionally, or have been away for quite awhile, we simply ask now for your presence at this defining service. Help us give shape to our evolving Unity of Berkeley.

SUNDAY, JUNE 12th beginning at 10:30 a.m.

Shared, meaningful experience within an enriching spiritual community is guaranteed.
All you provide is: You.
*
In closing, we extend a heart-felt “Thank you!” to all who participated in the Sunday, May 15th meeting after the service. We (your Transition Team) are committed to holding these “monthly chats” in order to maintain open dialogue with our congregation and ensuring that we get back to congregants with candid answers to every question that is brought to our attention. We are committed moreover, to giving you many opportunities to join Leadership as together, in Unity, we creatively delve into each new step of this unfolding process of selecting our new minister. This important process takes time. In taking this next step of identifying Core Values, we are well on our way in this process of paving the way. And so it is!

Yours in community, prosperity, healing and Spirit,
Your Unity of Berkeley Transition Team
Catherine, Dee, Dennis, Francine, Hadidjah, Janis,

Sunday, June 12 ~ Jeanette Monterio

“Who Have You Come Here To Be?”

Meditation @ 10am
Service @ 10:30am

Jeanette brings her Divine Imagination to talk about “Who Have You Come Here To Be?” Ever asked the question Why am I on earth? What is my Divine purpose? What is mine to do? During the service Jeanette will guide us in an interactive process that will help you to understand WHO you have come to earth to be. The process during the service is for ALL who attend – if this is your first time or are a founding member. What we discover during the service will be the beginning of a process when we meet after the service to determine who this church has come to be. Please plan on attending and inviting others who have not been attending to join us as we listen to our soul’s calling. YOUR PRESENCE MAKES A DIFFERENCE to this community and this world!

Deborah Winters will sing her heart to yours finding the place for us all to be!
