Part VII – The Sigh of the Soul
Seeing and Experiencing the Pandemic from a Birthing Place into a Greater Reality
October 23 @ 1–3 PM MT
with Paulette Pipe
Is your soul longing to restore its poise and harmony during these uncertain times? Do you feel as though your spiritual practice has been derailed by soul-numbing fear or stress-fatigue?
If so, you'll definitely want to be part of this two-hour soul-restoring Meditation and Prayer experience led by Rev. Paulette Pipe, host of the beloved Touching the Stillness podcast and Keeper of the Flame for Unity Worldwide Ministries’ Board of Trustees.
Using prayer, and engaging meditation and mindfulness practices, you’ll go from “Ugghhh" to “Ahhhh!” as she guides you gently on a journey of stillness and tranquility to the very sanctuary of your soul— all from the privacy of your own home.
Part VI – Pandemic in a Greater Reality
Seeing and Experiencing the Pandemic from a Birthing Place into a Greater Reality
October 23 @ 10 AM–12 PM MT
with Rev. Dr. Robert Brumet
We are at another critical point in human history and in the evolution of consciousness; the choices that we make in the near future are crucial. This is so not only because of the mind-rattling events and changes that have occurred in this pandemic—along with the unprecedented dangers precipitated by some of them—but also because it seems that, like never before, the time is ripe for a quantum leap in conscious evolution.
This workshop is designed to dive deeper into the greater Reality of what is happening while we are experiencing the challenges through the pandemic as we are getting ready for the busiest and often emotionally most challenging season of the year.

Part V – Using the Truth We Know
Managing and Mastering Ourselves, Our Lives, and the World Around Us
September 25 @ 12 PM MT
with Rev. Dr. Paul Hasselbeck
Rediscover and remember key specific Unity teachings that support us in being the best we can be...
Many people have heard something like, “There’s a pile of horse manure! Oh boy! There must be a pony here somewhere!” In Unity, we could say something similar because everything, EVERYTHING, that changes depends on Divine Ideas as their fundamental resource. In 2020, we have a lot of horse manure. We can say, “Oh boy, there must be Divine Ideas here somewhere!”
Whether we are in church leadership, trying to manage self-care, or the changing situation around Covid-19, there are Unity teachings we can use to empower ourselves to meet any need. Using the Truth we know assumes we actually know Unity Truth at a deep, specific and useful level.
The entirety of the changing realm—mind and matter—operates specifically. This requires tailoring Unity teachings to meet and master the need.
Part IV – Self-Care for Leaders
The Importance and Practice of Self-Care in Leadership
August 21 @ 12 PM MT
with Kurt Perkins DC CCWP CFMP
The latest buzzword in leadership is 'self-care.' We know we should do it but why don't we? We will discuss the 4 P's in creating self-care without taking away time for your regular scheduled leadership responsibilities.
Part III – Evolve & Emerge
Experiencing Today’s World through the Lens of Spiral Dynamics
July 24 @ 12 PM MT
with Rev. Pat Veenema
This two-hour workshop, lead by Rev. Pat Veenema, is looking at current events through a lens of the evolution of consciousness. Using Spiral Dynamics, we can explore some of the hard questions regarding a seeming modern era of degeneration into self-destruction. We can also learn about the dynamics of how tensions between cultures and societies arise and in what ways they could be alleviated.
How can we see past the chaos and be hopeful what could come from it? Spiral Dynamics is a way for us to project ourselves into someone else’s paradigm so that we can break down misunderstandings for us to begin building bridges.
In this workshop, you will not only learn about how Spiral Dynamics can help us move past our hurdles while integrating what is already working for us but also how much we already are part of this next evolutionary leap.
