Unity is a universal teaching that honors individual understanding.
What is yours?
What is yours?
Unity speaks of the golden thread of universal truth at the heart of all religions and spiritual paths yet invites us to focus on what is meaningful for each of us. In this workshop we will discuss through teaching, group discussion, meditation and intention how we can embrace the universal while honoring our own particular path, teacher and aspect of the divine. We will help define a practical way to our own understanding of truth that can help us in our ongoing journey.
