Join us on Sunday, March 23rd at 10:30 am as we welcome back beloved guest speaker Rev. Barbara Williams. Rev. Barbara will be bringing us a message on "Me and My Shadow."
From Rev. Barbara: "In Unity we affirm that everyone has a spark of divinity within, that our essence is of God. So why is this principle not so obvious in our world and sometimes our own reactions? I believe that we discover our divinity when we make friends with our humanity, especially parts of ourselves that we try to hide or deny because it seems socially unacceptable or moreover devastating to our ego. The process of “acceptance” is known as shadow work and I will share a few simple ways we can make friends with our shadow and day-by-day, reveal and live from our divinity."
