How are you actively co-creating a world that represents this Higher, Deeper Love?
I am consciously co-creating a Higher Deeper Love in
the world.
We’re navigating life’s complexities as one. What’s before us—our collective past, present, and future—is ours to bravely face, feel, and ultimately heal. We get to ask ourselves how are we actively cocreating a world that represents this Higher, Deeper Love?

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.

Board Meeting
2026-06-28 12:15 - 13:30, 2026-07-26 12:15 - 13:30, 2026-08-23 12:15 - 13:30

You are already whole and sacred July 5, 2026
2026-07-05 10:00 - 11:30
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.

It’s Ok To Be Perfectly Human July 12, 2026
2026-07-12 10:00 - 11:30
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.

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.

Turning Down God’s bowl
Turning Down God’s Bowl asks us to imagine God offering us a bowl overflowing with love, peace, healing, wisdom, abundance, and acceptance. Would we receive it—or would we unknowingly turn it away? This thought-provoking message explores the beliefs and habits that keep us from embracing God’s freely given gifts and reminds us that divine love is always present, waiting for us to say “yes.” Through biblical stories, Unity principles, and the healing example of Myrtle Fillmore, we’ll discover how to stop rejecting grace and begin living from our divine inheritance.

Welcoming Fear as a Friend
2026-08-09 10:00 - 11:30
Affirmation: I face fear with fierce clarity and unwavering presence.
Reading:
“Adapted from “Welcoming Fear as a Friend” by Gerald May
The basic lesson is this: Fear is not an enemy but a friend. Fear is something good, something alive, alert, and wild in us. Fear may be a response to danger, bur fear itself is not dangerous. On the contrary, It is nothing other than life-spirit standing on its toes right here, right now with clear attention, sharp senses, ready body, flared nostrils, bristled hair, poised muscles, pumping heart, clean breath.
…When fear does come…let us neither tighten ourselves against what we’re feeling, nor become paralyzed by it, but let us live into the bright, sane responsiveness that fear makes possible. Let us welcome fear for the friend it is, for what it teaches and how it serves. When we feel the hairs on the back of our neck bristling for no reason, when we sense an unexplainable tremulousness, never again deny it or call it neurotic. Instead, welcome it, go into it, see what it is trying to show us.
https://www.awakin.org/v2/read/view.php?tid=2258
Spiritual point of view:
Fear isn’t something you need to fight or get rid of—it’s something you’re being invited to understand. When you look at the teachings of spiritual masters like Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, and Charles Fillmore together, a compassionate pattern begins to emerge.
Chopra reminds you that fear shows up when you forget who you really are. When you identify only with your ego—the part of you that feels small, separate, and in survival mode—fear makes sense. As you return to presence, stillness, and higher awareness, fear naturally softens because you remember your true Self.
Wayne Dyer would tell you that fear is largely a habit of thought. You’re not powerless here. You can notice the inner dialogue that keeps rehearsing worst-case scenarios and gently choose a new story—one rooted in intention, love, and possibility.

Charles Fillmore adds that fear is spiritual power misdirected. The same faith and imagination meant to create good are simply pointed in the wrong direction. When you realign them with divine truth, fear loses its authority.
From an Abraham Hicks perspective, fear is an indicator that you’re out of alignment with your Inner Being. You don’t fix it by force—you soothe it by reaching for better-feeling thoughts. As you align with who you truly are, fear naturally gives way to clarity, ease, and trust.

Emotion is energy
2026-08-23 10:00 - 11:30
Affirmation: I channel my anger into meaningful, courageous action.
Reading
When an emotional experience feels inaccessible to you, it’s often a sign that you’re not fully at choice. Many of us learned early in life to limit our emotions—being told not to be too sad, too upset, or even too joyful. Over time, this conditioning narrows our emotional range. Anger is one of the emotions most often suppressed, leaving many people unsure how to express it in healthy ways or distinguish between anger that serves and anger that harms.
Anger that serves is like a flame: it moves energy forward, brings clarity, and dissipates once it is acknowledged. Toxic anger is different. It settles in the body, cycling without release, and no amount of expression seems to relieve it. In truth, toxic anger isn’t anger at all—it is unresolved grief, built from unexpressed feelings and unmet needs, both personal and inherited.
When individuals and communities are denied space to grieve, this grief accumulates. Healing requires creating space for sorrow, allowing what has been held to be felt, released, and transformed.
Adapted from: meenadchi. Decolonizing Non-Violent Communication. Co-Conspirator, 2023, pp. 56–57.
Spiritual Point of View:
You are not meant to ignore your emotions or push them aside. Emotion is energy—and when it goes unmanaged or unexpressed, it will find its own outlet, often in ways that create confusion or inner conflict. From a Unity, your anger isn’t a problem to be fixed; its information inviting your awareness. It’s a signal that something you value matters deeply to you.
When you pause and listen, rather than react or suppress, anger can become fuel for clarity, truth-telling, and healthy boundaries. Charles Fillmore would say that your emotions are spiritual energy meant to be directed through wisdom and love. When they’re denied, they settle into the subconscious and show up later as tension or imbalance. When they’re consciously aligned with Spirit, they become instruments of healing.
What you don’t feel doesn’t disappear—it gets stored. Healing comes when you allow yourself to feel honestly and gently.
Anger shows up when you’re out of alignment with your Inner Being. You don’t force it away; you soften it by reaching for better-feeling thoughts. As you allow emotion, align with love, and shift your focus, your vibration rises—and energy that once felt chaotic becomes creative, purposeful, and healing.

I open my heart to growth
2026-08-30 10:00 - 11:30
Affirmation: I open my heart to growth through connection.
Reading:
“People are opting out of vital conversations about diversity and inclusivity because they fear looking wrong, saying something wrong, or being wrong. Choosing our own comfort over hard conversations is the epitome of privilege, and it corrodes trust and moves us away from meaningful and lasting change.”
Brown, Brené. “Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.” Random House, 2018.p,88

Spiritual Point of View:
You are invited to remember, as Ernest Holmes teaches, that there is one Life and one God expressing through all of us. When you hold that awareness, collaboration and openness begin with seeing the divine presence in one another—including in moments of discomfort. Fear isn’t something you need to avoid or deny. It’s an invitation to deepen your trust in the One Life and to choose connection anyway. When you name your fears honestly and keep your heart open, you step into a higher consciousness where differences become sources of creativity rather than division.
Anger often shows up along the way. Anger is rarely the first emotion—it’s a protector sitting on top of hurt, fear, or grief. When anger is ignored or suppressed, it creates inner chaos. When it’s fully felt and understood, it becomes wisdom. From a Unity perspective, this is about directing emotional energy, not repressing it.
Anger signals you’re out of alignment with your Inner Being. You don’t force it away—you pause, breathe, and reach for thoughts that feel a little better. As your vibration softens, clarity returns. From this aligned place, anger becomes a data point, not a destination—fuel for courage, compassion, and meaningful change
