News from Unity Spiritual Center Denver

This Sunday, April 24, I will begin a series of lessons entitled, "Life as Art." I was inspired, in part, by a video I discovered on The Work of the People website. It is an interview with author, entrepreneur and thought leader, Erwin Raphael McManus. After viewing the video, I downloaded one of his books, The Artisan Soul: Crafting Your Life Into A Work Of Art, and have been perusing it since. Even though the book is written from a traditional Christian perspective, I highly recommend it.

In his book, McManus asserts that each of us is born with what he calls an "artisan soul." His belief is, that because we are created in the image and likeness of the Creator, that each of us is here to create. He says,

"To create is to be human. To create is to fulfill our divine intention. To create is to reflect the image of God. To create is an act of worship. So, who is an artist? Anyone who has a soul. What the qualifications for being an artist? You guessed it - having a soul."

"The soul is that part of us that longs for and connects with the transcendent. Our soul is the space that contains the universe within us. The soul is the creative space from which humans create the future. The soul is the essence of being human."

McManus further states that ...

Sunday, May 8th, 10:00 am

We are thrilled to have Jan Garrett & JD Martin back with us!

There's a Heart of Harmony we are all longing to tune into.

It's the direct experience of remembering with great relief, who we really are.

The words suggest a path, the music takes us there."

The Grammy award-winning songwriter,

Paul Williams writes, "Jan Garrett and JD Martin's performances and recordings are a spectacularly creative collection of heart songs, inspired life lessons sung with ease and joy, reminding me again and again that every day is a gift...."

Jan Garrett and JD Martin are multi-award-winning singer songwriters who live and create their music in the mountains of Colorado near Aspen. Both are seasoned performers and creative guides who teach with a twinkle, and inspire by example. Their music is described as "Rich and intelligent, a velvet-hammer wake-up call as satisfying to the soul as it is to the ear....a deep and exhilarating trip into the Heart of Harmony."

JD Martin has written 5 Number One, and 10 Top Ten, country and pop hit singles, and his songs have been recorded by such luminaries Reba McEntire, B.J. Thomas, Peter Cetera, Atlantic Starr, and Kathy Mattea.

Jan Garrett is a jazz singer with a poet's soul....a master music teacher, award winning songwriter, performance coach, wilderness vision quester, and (yes) Certified laughing Instructor who has toured with Steve Martin and John Denver, and has appeared on the Tonight Show and in Rolling Stone.

Together they have written and recorded 7 CDs of original music. They have won multiple awards at the Positive Music Awards for many years running, and have been awarded the "Seal of Excellence" by the Positive Music Association. All of Jan & JD's music is a collage of different musical styles and lyrical perspectives, all held together by the one thread that runs throughout: The language and harmony of the Heart.

CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Ongoing Tai' Chi Gung Class

Thursdays 7:00 - 8:00 pm

Do you want to make your spiritual life physical?

Tai Chi Gung is sometimes called the "simple yoga". It features fluid breathing and graceful moving exercises that build stamina, relieve stress, improve balance, speed recovery from injury, strengthen the immune system, foster peace of mind and develop mental focus. This gentle, ancient system of health and longevity from Tibet has been passed down in an unbroken lineage from the original Master Boganathar, known in China as the sage Lao T zu for 3000 years.

Can the Infinite Abundance in your mind be in your body as well?

Tai Chi Gung includes a series of simple standing exercises that help people connect to the energy of the life force in nature consciously. It is an ancient art and science that shows students how to draw, store, project and release the chi through their spirit, mind and physical body; gradually returning it to the perfect image in which it was originally created ... manifesting good on earth as it is in heaven.

Facilitated by Rev. Phyllis Hoover, ThD on a love-offering basis.

ARE YOU ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING TO

Unity Spiritual Center Denver?

We recently learned that if you have a zero balance on your re-loadable for Unity King Soopers card for 30 days or longer, it is no longer connected to the payback program.

While you can still re-load your card as usual, it is no longer connected to Unity of Denver, and thus, does not contribute to our payback program.

The only way to rectify this is to purchase another $10 card in our bookstore, and be sure to use it once a month.

NOT SURE... if your card is still active in the payback program, please email the office with the serial number on the back of your card for confirmation.

[email protected]

If you don't have a card, they are available in the bookstore for $10. *This initial $10 is available for use at any King Soopers. You can reload it thereafter and use it just like cash and Unity Spiritual Center Denver will receive 5% of your total purchase.

This program has been a good source of income for us in the past!
