Sundays in December ~ The True Christmas Spirit

Each Sunday in December, we will consider the metaphysical meaning of some aspect of the Christmas story — including the Angel messengers, the Shepherds keeping watch, and those pesky Herod Ego thoughts. My intention is to bring the story alive in each one of our minds and hearts so we can deepen our connection to the Light of the Christ Child and experience the wonder, awe, mystery and grace that is the True Christmas Spirit. — Reverend Patricia

September 6th ~ The “I” of the Storm

Join Rev. Patricia Keel for a talk on dealing with conflict from a spiritual perspective. Do you find yourself in challenging situation, judging others, withdrawing or resisting without the inner resources required to calm yourself? Come learn how to transform your attitude and approach every person and life event with equanimity.

For a more comprehensive “training” in this life-changing inner work, attend Rev. Patricia’s five-week class (co-taught by Hadidjah Rivera) on Tuesdays from 7 – 9 pm, beginning September 1. It is based on Unity teacher Gary Simmons’ book, The I of the Storm.

September 13th ~ Making Friends with Conflict

Rev.  Patricia offers practical, positive Unity techniques for transforming our approach to people and situations in our lives that we find difficult. Come listen and re-invigorate your intention to live in peace and harmony with others.
