2. Searching for Auras Continues
By Bill Glaser - In-Person - Tuesdays at 5:30pm
For each meeting participants will be asked to bring something to share with the group. Declining the request doesn’t make you ineligible to participate. And if everyone brings something to share we probably won’t get to everyone in one meeting. The thing to share could be an experience, a poem, a dream, a reading or an object of art or of personal meaning. But something that inspires or calls one to wish to grow. Our intention will be in our coming together we will experience each other’s energy and our oneness. As the Course of Love states: Christ consciousness is something far too vast to learn but is easily shared. And further we can most readily come to know our own Christ self in the openness and boundaryless experience of others. The first meeting time and location will be set in advance but the remaining meetings will occur on a plan as we go basis taking into account the needs of the participants and also allowing different people to host the group. And what about auras? Well, do you ever look for auras? Maybe that’s why you haven’t seen any. Or have you? I think looking for a person’s aura can be a very good way to open yourself to their presence, their energy, to your deep connection with your sister or brother.

4. Daily Affirmations
By Tom McCrory - Via Zoom - Wednesdays 6:30 - 7:30pm - June 25, July 9, 16 and 23
"If you leave a white post alone it will soon be a black post. If you particularly want it to be white you must always be painting it again." G.K. Chesterton.
Our Unity principles promote life, healing, growth, love, forgiveness, fellowship, and awareness of the presence of God. The world can present a torrent of distractions and errors. Without regular reminders and practice, our Unity principles can be at risk of being overwhelmed or submerged by the clamor around us.
Daily affirmations are a wonderful way to be regularly reminded of what is true and good. In each of our four one-hour classes, we will:
1) Repeat a different set of affirmations (provided in advance).
2) Facilitate exploring what is important for each of us to be reminded of daily.
3) Work on writing affirmations that sizzle with truth and life.
4) Practice saying them aloud at the start of each new day.
I look forward with great excitement to each participant's statements of truth.

5. The Sleeping Son
By Peg Moulden - In-Person - Wednesdays 5:30pm
This is a group based on A Course in Miracles, and having some experience with the Course will be helpful.
The Course reminds us that the Bible says, "a deep sleep fell on Adam....but it never says he woke up."
This will serve as the basis for exploring our daily life as a waking dream, utilizing Course principles, journaling, and group discussion.

6. "More Than Allegory: On religious myth, truth and belief" by Bernardo Kastrup
By Jessica Wilcox - In-Person - Thursday 6pm
We will be reading and discussing the book, "More Than Allegory" by Bernardo Kastrup. This book is an esoteric/mystic exploration of consciousness through the lens of myths, truths and beliefs. In its critique of materialism and dogmatism it seeks to awaken self-awareness and intuition, and to deepen our connection with transcendent truths that lie beyond our intellect and the physical world.
From the Overview of the book:
"This book is a three-part journey into the rabbit hole we call the nature of reality. Each of its three parts is like a turn of a spiral, exploring recurring ideas through the prisms of religious myth, truth and belief, respectively. With each turn, the book seeks to convey a more nuanced and complete understanding of the many facets of transcendence. Part I puts forward the controversial notion that many religious myths are actually true; and not just allegorically so. Part II argues that our own inner storytelling plays a surprising role in creating the seeming concreteness of things and the tangibility of history. Part III suggests, in the form of a myth, how deeply ingrained belief systems create the world we live in."

“Miracles can occur and healings will happen”
Unity Santa Fe SOUL Circles (previously SpiritGroups) are small groups of members, congregants and friends who meet three times a year for 4-6 weeks. Each group has a Facilitator who offers to lead the group in an activity, book study, or discussion group of their choice. The group may meet at the Facilitator's home, the home of a Host who is part of the group, online via Zoom, or in a public venue. The purpose of SOUL Circles is to offer the opportunity to get to know others in your spiritual community on a deeper level than is possible at the Sunday service or other community activities. SOUL Circles also plan and carry out a Social Action that benefits either the Unity Santa Fe Community or the greater community of Santa Fe through volunteer efforts. All Facilitators will attend an orientation prior to meeting.
Through our SOUL Circles, we have the opportunity to experience a deeper level of the following qualities:
S - Spiritual Growth: We enrich our spiritual lives through the study and discussion of spiritual ideas as well as spiritually nurture ourselves with our devotion to prayer and meditation.
O - Openness: We open our hearts and minds to share freely our thoughts, beliefs, and stories of our individual journeys. We do this in an atmosphere of safety and confidentiality that warmly welcomes others from the greater community.
U - Unity: We come together to experience and express our Oneness with each other, our human family and indeed, the whole of creation, both material and spiritual.
L - Love: We put feet on the Power of Love through the support we offer to one another in our circles, especially during times of challenge. We also serve the larger community through acts of sacred social service that, in turn, expand and enrich our own lives.
