🌈 Pride, Visibility, and

Community Connection

We are excited to share that Unity Kitchener is once again featured in Spectrum's Rainbow Pages, Waterloo Region's directory of 2SLGBTQIA+-friendly and affirming businesses, organizations, and services. This year is especially meaningful because, in addition to our online listing, we chose to invest in a listing in the printed edition of the Rainbow Pages as well.

The printed directory was officially launched this spring at a special event hosted by Spectrum, Waterloo Region's Rainbow Community Space. Representing Unity Kitchener at the launch were Liz and Wen, who proudly received a copy of the new directory and connected with others dedicated to creating a more welcoming and inclusive community.

Being included in the Rainbow Pages helps more people discover Unity Kitchener as a place where spiritual exploration is encouraged, diversity is celebrated, and all are invited to belong exactly as they are.

We are grateful to Spectrum for the important work they do in our region and proud to stand alongside the many organizations committed to equity, inclusion, and belonging.

🍁 Happy Canada Day 🍁

This Wednesday, July 1st, we will be celebrating the beauty of Canada, not only its landscapes and traditions, but also the values that help us grow together: kindness, inclusion, respect, and hope.

At Unity Kitchener, we honour the rich diversity of people, cultures, and experiences that help make Canada stronger. We believe that when we lead with love, embrace our differences, and recognize the Divine spark within one another, we help create a more compassionate and connected world.

Together, let us celebrate UNITY in diversity, gratitude for the present moment, and hope for a brighter future for all.

Happy Canada Day! 🍁🧡

This Sunday at 10:30 am ET

In Person and Online

Inspired by the powerful "No Man's Land" scene from Wonder Woman (2017), Dr. Ann Therriault, LUT, explores the spiritual journey from bystander (observer/witness) to upstander (a person of action/doer). Why do we hesitate when we see a need, an injustice, or an opportunity to help? What fears, beliefs, and habits keep us in the trench, and what empowers us to step forward?

Drawing on Unity teachings, the Hero's Journey, and the spiritual powers of Faith and Strength, we will explore how love, wisdom, Oneness, and trust can help us move beyond fear and hesitation. Together, we will discover what it means to cross our own "No Man's Land" and live the Truth we know. Join us as we explore what it means to take one courageous step beyond the trench and into a fuller expression of our divine potential.

Ann is a scientist at heart. With a dream to step on another planetary surface, she chose a career in planetary geology. She worked at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. She was one of five world experts in her field during the 1990s and early 2000s. She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Ottawa in 2001, her thesis is about the huge and old impact structure (crater) in Sudbury, Ontario.

Ann dedicated just over 30 years of her life with the Department of Natural Resources Canada. From an accomplished scientist, she branched into policy analysis, management and union activism. At the time of her retirement in September 2023, she held the position of Wellness Champion and Mental Health Co-Champion.

Since her retirement, she completed the Licensed Unity Teacher (LUT) Program in December 2024 and is now actively participating in the prosperity of the Unity Spiritual Centre Ottawa (USCO), Unity Canada, and Unity In Europe; leading online Unity courses, workshops and discussion groups; and providing Sunday talks as a guest speaker.
