This Sunday, October 25th, Rev. Mari Gabrielson begins a new series MASTERY ON THE JOURNEY. Mastery takes consistency and practice, however, it cannot be forced ahead of its time. My series is a result of my grand daughter’s martial arts lessons in Aikido. There I learned an expression, “meeting myself on the mat” that triggered my curiosity. “On the mat” there is no place to hide, it is where we face ourselves and own our progress or growing edge. It seems to mean that wherever one wants to make the biggest improvement in their life, that is the place one must practice that to becoming a master. My talk this week is: What It Looks Like, and What It Feels Like.

JULIE THOMPSON is back with us this week. Julie is always a hit with her musical selections, and often her guest musicians who join her. Be present to enjoy Julie with your spiritual community, live in the chapel at 10 AM, or livestream on Facebook also right here on our website.

Mid-Week Meditation. It is available here on our Facebook page, also on our website, click on Classes, then “Meditation” You can go back to this meditation as often as you wish for a full week. Then the next Meditation will be recorded and offered beginning the following Wednesday. This week Rev. Mari Gabrielson is our Meditation Leader.
During this ongoing time of uncertainty, of chaotic energy and cautions for personal health, every opportunity we can invest in spiritual practice is a great boon to our personal sense of well-being.

On Sundays, Kevin is setting up a Zoom site you can join for coffee and conversation outside. So, while you are not able to be at the Center, at least we will get to see you, and you will see others, and the face to face connection will help us. Please contact the Center 414 475-0105, or email (ucim@wi.rr.com) us your email address so we can send you an invitation to join.

Pause for Prayer: Rev. Mari suggests we all join in a prayer pause many Unity Centers around the world are now using. Wherever you are, at 12 noon, stop for a minute or two and bless Unity, our community, our state, our country, the world, etc. This is a powerful practice of uniting the energy of millions of people around the world. We began this process on Sunday, and invite you to join in today

OCTOBER 24TH.

Emily Klik will be presenting: “Metamorphosis, Calling Forth Your Inner Hero” Right now, we are going through major change, individually, nationally, globally. We’re turning corners, passed tipping points, and are evolving through old stories. With so much challenge and change, it’s easy to feel anxious, helpless, exhausted, dis-empowered. In this brief talk, Emily will review a few principles from the “7 Sacred Choices of the Hero’s Journey”, and blend it with the process of transformation, to answer the questions “How do I move forward?” and “Where is my Hero in this process?

Please sign up on Sunday, or call the office to make sure you are counted in the number for the class. Due to social distancing, we may need to move the class to a larger space. Suggested donation: $10.00. We will also be doing a live-stream of the class, which will be available afterwards on our web site: unitycenterinmilwaukee.com.
