Where Creativity, Community, and Spirit Meet
The Artist Lounge at Unity Spiritual Centre is a welcoming gathering space for artists, creatives, makers, writers, musicians, and anyone who feels called to express themselves through creativity.
Whether you are a professional artist, a passionate hobbyist, or simply curious about exploring your creative side, you are invited to join us in a supportive, inclusive, and inspiring environment.
Together we share ideas, encouragement, creative challenges, resources, and conversation. The Artist Lounge is not about competition or critique—it is about connection, inspiration, and honoring the creative impulse that lives within each of us.
We believe creativity is more than making art. It is a spiritual practice, a pathway to self-discovery, and a powerful way of bringing beauty, healing, and new possibilities into the world.
Bring a project you are working on, share your experiences, learn from others, or simply come to connect with fellow creatives. Through conversation, collaboration, and inspiration, we cultivate a community where creativity can flourish.
All creative expressions are welcome. No artistic experience is required.

Come as you are. Bring your imagination. Leave inspired.

It’s Ok To Be Perfectly Human July 12, 2026
2026-07-12 10:00 - 11:30 | ON
Affirmation: I honor the humanity and divinity in everyone I meet.
Reading: It’s Ok To Be Perfectly Human, written by Brian J. Plachta
Why do we nag and criticize ourselves? Perfectionism is one reason. We expect ourselves to be perfect, and when we aren’t, we shame ourselves. We dig trenches of negativity that tell us we’re bad. Flawed. Broken. Driving ourselves to achieve…and to become better is a good thing. It allows us to set and reach goals, to pursue our dreams, and to make the world a better place. But that drive can become imbalanced when it over tilts into egotistical, shameful, or never-good-enough attitudes.
What if, when we catch ourselves launching a negativity attack against our self-images, we stop, and instead name one good character trait we possess, one quality we like about ourselves? Reminding ourselves we’re good, teachable, and loveable might be a simple practice that will help turn off the negativity switch in our heads.
…When we make peace with our internal wars and accept all parts of ourselves without judgment, we create more space for God to love us, for us to love ourselves, and then for us to become multipliers of unconditional love for others.
Awakin.Org, readings. https://www.awakin.org/v2/read/view.php?tid=2366. Accessed 26 June 2025.
Spiritual Point of View: When you begin to recognize the Divine in everyday humanity, something powerful shifts. Ernest Holmes reminds us that humanity and divinity meet when you learn to see beyond appearances and remember that, at the center of every person, the Divine Presence is already alive and active. When you approach life with compassion and genuine care, you’re not just being kind—you’re allowing the natural givingness of Spirit to flow through you. Compassion becomes the gentle bridge that connects you to others in understanding, reminding you that you are never truly separate.
What you’re seeing in others is closely tied to the vibration you’re offering. The way you feel on the inside shapes what you notice on the outside. Your relationships act like mirrors, reflecting how you relate to yourself. As you soften self-judgment, drop your masks, and allow yourself to be more authentic, your vibration naturally rises. From that higher place, it becomes easier to recognize the divine spark in everyone you meet.
As you align with love, compassion, and authenticity, you don’t have to try to see the good in others—it reveals itself effortlessly.

You are already whole and sacred July 5, 2026
2026-07-05 10:00 - 11:30 | ON
Affirmation: I embrace and honor all of who I am.
Reading: We are born with only one obligation–to be completely who we are. Yet how much of our time is spent comparing ourselves to others, dead and alive. This is encouraged as necessary in the pursuit of excellence. Yet a flower in its excellence does not yearn to be a fish, and a fish in its elegance does not long to be a tiger. But we humans find ourselves always falling into the dream of another life…Yet when we compare ourselves to others…we only experience the tension of comparing, as if there is only one ounce of being to feed all our hungers. But the Universe reveals its abundance most clearly when we can be who we are. Mysteriously, every weed and ant and…every living creature has its unique anatomy of being which when given over to, is more than enough.
… Of course, history is the humbling story of our misbegotten inflations, and truth is the corrective story of how we embrace each other and forgive ourselves for not accepting our beautifully particular place in the fabric of all there is.
Nepo, Mark, The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life you Have, San Francisco, Conari Press, p 11-12.
Spiritual Point of View: “…The individual subconsciously knows or believes much about [themselves] that contradicts [their] true spiritual nature. The accumulated experience of the whole [human] race is lodged in the subconscious of everyone and operates through everyone until a passageway is cleared back through the mind to the spiritual Presence…” —Ernest Holmes. How to Use the Science of Mind. Golden, CO: Science of Mind Publishing, 2009, 79.

You may discover, as Ernest Holmes teaches, that parts of your subconscious still hold beliefs about yourself that contradict your true spiritual nature. “The accumulated experience of the whole human race is lodged in the subconscious of everyone,” he writes, operating until a clear passageway opens back to spiritual Presence. This is not a flaw in you—it is part of the human journey.
Your path of self-discovery often involves gently clearing away the underbrush of fear, superstition, and isolation that once convinced you that you were unworthy, unheld, or lost. In the divine order of good, nothing about you needs saving. What is needed is remembering. As Holmes reminds us, “We do not save that which was lost; we merely discover that which needs to be found.”
You are already whole and sacred, just as you are. And from that wholeness, you are free to change—not to become worthy, but to more fully express who you already are.

I Want to Know What Love is
2026-06-07 10:00 - 11:30 | ON
June: Higher Deeper Love
Summary: This month, we’re fully immersing ourselves in Higher Deeper Love. We’ll redefine love, reexamine our relationship with it, and elevate our awareness, discovering it’s far grander than we’ve allowed. Our journey begins with “I Want to Know What Love Is,” inviting us to see love beyond romance. We’ll embrace discomfort and joy, recognizing every experience and ourselves as Love. Next, “I Was Made for Loving You” challenges us to see how our inner relationship with love impacts every connection. We’ll question how actively we are showing up as love in the world, right now. Our exploration expands with “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” as we consider our profound interconnectedness. We’ll bring awareness to ancestral and historical wounds around love, to foster healing. Finally, “Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong” invites us to view the world’s systems through the eyes of Love, honoring its paradox of flaws and healing. This path with Love calls us, individually and collectively, to
embrace our inherent loving nature and listen with our hearts for our part to play.

Doubt as Devotion: Questioning as an Act of Love
2026-05-31 10:00 - 11:30 | ON
How can I honor my doubts as signposts and guides, rather than stopping blocks?
Love is the foundation of my questions and curiosities.
In this Oneness review of the quarter, we put divine doubt into
conversation with becoming and higher, deeper love. Taken together, these three chart a path of Divine expression through surrender to vulnerability and a trusting of the Universal process. What doubts distract or keep you from experiencing your fullness? Deeper love? What if those doubts are signposts, rather than detours?

Communal Uncertainty
2026-05-24 10:00 - 11:30 | ON
As a community, what doubts or uncertainties do we have, whether out in the open or hidden?
I recognize my doubt as holy and productive.
After weeks of exploring Divine Doubt, how will we apply this work to our communities? This week, we will look at using our doubts to engage with wonder and curiosity as we continue to build webs of love and respect in Unity. As a community, both in individual communities and in the worldwide organization, what doubts or uncertainties does Unity express? What do we hide? What doubts and uncertainties might our organization address for the good of all?

Carrying Our Doubt Together
2026-05-17 10:00 - 11:30 | ON
What power and possibility lies in our
collective doubts?
I share the power and potential of collective curiosity.
We continue to explore Divine Doubt this month by turning to the collective inner experience, the doubts which we share amongst one another as part of our shared unconscious. What power and possibility lie in our collective doubts? If we revisit doubt as an avenue to faith and curiosity, what transformations can sharing and exploring doubt bring?
