Unity of PT calendar of events

Here are the latest opportunities to strengthen

your faith and connect with the community.

Kirtan February 21 from 3-5 pm in Unity's Sanctuary. All welcome to sing and chant the names of the Divine with the Shanti Salish Band. "Kirtan helps the mind become quiet, and when the mind quiets, we can begin to perceive the mystical things, the sacred experiences, that are around us always. In the silence between the songs, when the song stops, you can feel something. And that something is you. There is no greater experience than the experience of one's Self. And that vibration is always within you, that vibration is you. That's the beauty of any chant experience-with little or no effort we can experience and enjoy the vibrations of peace, energy, healing, and inspiration that are always within us." Kamini Natarajan
