Meditation: A Moment of Gratitude

In this gentle guided practice, Center of Mindful Self-Compassion Co-Founder Kristin Neff invites us to breathe gratitude inward, appreciating our own qualities and the gift of being alive, and outward, honoring the people, experiences, and circumstances that enrich our lives.

It can be very freeing to check in with those we have lost and let them know that they are not forgotten. In fact, they have brought so much to our lives!

Each year, it is a good idea to check in with ourselves and see how much we are still carrying our losses. Together, we can hand our grief to the source of love, and remember the beauty and treasures of those beautiful beings now passed.

Community Circle Summary

Our November 1 Community Circle brought us together to imagine the future of Unity Kitchener in 2027.

Four questions guided our conversation:

Looking ahead to 2027: What are we most looking forward to, personally and as a community?
Imagining a fresh beginning: If we were creating Unity Kitchener from a blank page, what would it look like?
Celebrating what makes us unique: What do we value most about our community that we wish more people could experience?
Taking something with us: What is one word, insight, or possibility we are taking away?

Ideas included more social gatherings, hiking, book and movie clubs, spiritual cafés, intergenerational activities, community events, and new ways to connect both in person and online.

The words we took away: Hope, community, connection, growth, possibility, togetherness, and gratitude.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined

and shared with such open hearts.
