Current Board Members

  • When not drafting meeting agendas as Board President of Unity of Bloomington, Joanie Spain is a Career Advisor in the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. She is also completing the certificate program in Spiritual Direction through Unity Worldwide Ministries and leads life skills classes with the women of Sojourn House, a two-year residential program for survivors of human trafficking (yes – right here in Bloomington).

    Joanie and her husband John currently share this journey through life on five tranquil acres with their basset hound-mix Toby, roving bands of deer and wild turkeys, and the occasional red fox.

  • Dan Piekarsky has been a member of Unity of Bloomington since 1996. He has been learning and living with Unity Practices and Principals since the first time he attended a service in the Waldron Theater. One could argue that his process has been slow, but the lessons absorbed have become embedded deeply with years of commitment, service and leadership to this community. He endeavors to be the Light and to see the Light. He is married to the love of his life, Beth, and has two adult children, Will and Christopher.

  • Roy Capio has served on the Unity of Bloomington Board for 7 years, 4 of these as the Treasurer. Being a Treasurer of an Intentional faith community has special practical challenges.

    “I walk a delicate balance of having to focus on material needs and challenges of the building and community while keeping the belief that all the abundance already exists but may not yet be apparent. This process is personally challenging and rewarding. I am being stretched in my faith and learning plenty about navigating the complexities of relationships and financial needs for our community.”

  • Luke Salmon was born and raised in Bloomington, attended Bloomington North and Ivy Tech, and is currently employed at Catalent as a Senior Manufacturing Specialist.
    During the pandemic, he played an important part in training personnel to operate new equipment that produced the Covid vaccine.


    He is married to Monica, with two children, Maebry and Waylon.
    Luke is the Board liaison to the Chapel Action Team, Youth and Family Ministry and Hospitality Committees. In addition, he is taking some of the online SEE courses available through Unity Worldwide Ministries.

  • Carol began attending Unity of Bloomington in 2016, when she and her husband Wade moved from Michigan. She had been a member of Unity of Ann Arbor.

    One of her favorite affirmations is "Let go, let God." Trusting that the right outcome is already on its way, she can surrender any concerns she has. Her task is to become still and listen for guidance from Spirit.

  • Cathy was raised on a farm and learned to be overly responsible, to drive herself hard and not quit until the job at hand was perfectly complete. She learned life is what you make it and she believed to stay sane, stay busy. Cathy is semi-retired from a successful Buy, Sell, Trade Business. Cathy credits her realization that “everything that comes into your life is for your life” for saving her life.

    Cathy stays active in the meditation and yoga circles. She teaches yoga at Unity on Saturday mornings and is proud to be serving as a board member.
