Unity Basics Class & Workshop
Presented by Rev. David LeBeau via Zoom
New to Unity? Need a refresher? Join us after the service for a Zoom class and workshop hosted by Rev. David LeBeau! Learn about the history of the Unity movement and its founders, Unity’s principles, and more! This is a great resource for those looking to become members of Unity of Bloomington!
—————
Unity is not a traditional church. Whether you are new to Unity or a long-time member, you are invited to join Rev. David LeBeau in a Unity Basics and refresher class on January 14.
The Unity movement has been devoted to helping people realize their own unity with God for over 100 years. Unity works not only with prayer, but with the new science of intentional prayer. It works not only in the field of healing, but with a new understanding of quantum energy in healing. It promotes prosperity, but with a new definition of abundance. It works for peace among all humans, encouraging living life like Jesus.
Unity is an ecumenical teaching movement, seeking to inspire people to engage in self-discovery and experience self-awareness in community with an interesting, varied and unique group of people. Those who are searching for deeper meaning are of all religious affiliations (or none), and of all ethnicities, genders, orientations, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Plan to join ordained Unity minister Rev. David LeBeau and others in the Unity commUnity for the workshop “Exploring the Dynamics for Living, which is an exploration of the core concepts of Unity. There will be a potluck lunch between the Sunday morning service and the Zoom class.

Contemplative Spiritual Practices Workshop, with Joanie Spain
The dictionary defines the word “contemplate” as: “To look at or view with continued attention; observe thoughtfully; to consider thoroughly; think fully or deeply about.”
Contemplative practices have existed throughout the ages and across all traditions. They encompass a wide variety of practical and transformative activities that serve to calm the mind and deepen our connection with Source. The health benefits of engaging in regular contemplative practice are also well documented. In this experiential workshop, we will explore three specific practices, as well as discover resources for further investigation.
Our Board President, Joanie Spain, will lead this workshop on August 27. Joanie is a Career Specialist at the I.U. Jacobs School of Music, and currently is completing the first year of the two-year Unity Spiritual Direction Certificate Program through Unity Worldwide Ministries.

'A Course in Miracles' Workshop, Pt. 4
With Rev. Karen Williams and Wendy Wonderley
‘A Course in Miracles’ refers to a miraculous healing process as a shift in perception. This is a process that leads to deeper healing than most people experience since the healing is transformative. It is internal soul-level healing.
The perception of our relationship with God is confirmed, or mirrored, through our relationships with each other. This workshop will explore that we are here to create holy relationships with all beings. The Course says "An unholy (special) relationship is no relationship. It is a state of isolation, which seems to be what it is not. No more than that."
It is not necessary to have attended the prior sessions to attend this third session.
We hope you join us!
This workshop will be available in-person in the Unity of Bloomington chapel, and online via livestream. The recording will be available on our YouTube and Facebook pages for later viewing.
