Unity Fall Program 2026
Sundays, October 4 through November 8
“Do You Choose Safety over authenticity? Most of us do. For many years, I did the same – I ran from my natural gifts and pursued a path that was not my own. I pushed my true self deeper and deeper down, creating a vacuum of emptiness. I constantly put myself in the path of danger to dull the pain and unhappiness.
“That’s when it hits you. That’s when you finally decide that enough is enough. And your search begins …”
Does such an experience speak to you?
If so, please consider joining with others for Unity Spiritual Center’s annual fall program featuring Sunday lessons, weekly rituals, themed meditations, printed affirmations, special songs, and a grand closing celebration, open to all!
We will be studying the book You Are Enough: Revealing the Soul to Discover Your Power, Potential, and Possibility by Panace Desai.
Join a study group starting on Sunday, September 13, to discuss themes, share insights, and apply concepts.
Secure your book in advance through the retailer or public library of your choice.
Stop back soon, or check social media for more information about study group registration.
For further information, please contact Program Chair Kimberly Buehner at kimberlybuehner@sbcglobal.net.
