Welcome,
As we read the dictionary definition of GENTLE we find words like "not severe or rough or violent". As a verb we see "to calm, soothe," even "dignify". By putting "gentleness" along side love, joy, and peace in the basket of the Fruits of the Spirit, we are invited "gently" into some tough introspection.
How DO we show up in the world? Would we call ourselves "gentle spirits"? Are we perceived as a "safe place" to stand or an "edge" to be afraid of? How often are we gentle with ourselves? Is it often enough to be well practiced in being gentle with others?
A wise woman once said, "Let me be gracious and sweet with my words today, for tomorrow I may have to eat them". What type of fruit will you choose today?
With Gentleness,
Wendy Craig-Purcell 
Spiritual Leader, Author and Speaker

The Seven Stone Path: An Everyday Journey to Wisdom
with Peter Bolland
Monday evenings, March 15th through April 5th
7:00-9:00 p.m.
$50.00
The Unity Center
This class is a down-to-earth, inspiring, informal, penetrating study of the seven core ideas of the world's wisdom traditions as they apply to our every day real lives. Our goal is nothing less than increasing and cultivating our wisdom in order to make our lives richer, deeper, more satisfying and joyful.
The seven stones are the seven core suggestions found in all the world's wisdom traditions in one form or another. When we take these ideas into our lives and live from them, we are changed - not into something strange or new, but into the beings of joy and fullness our dreams promise. Walking the Seven Stone Path leads us home to the natural wisdom dormant within every human being, awaiting awakening. The themes, concepts, insights and suggested practices of this class will share a deep and natural affinity with Unity principles and practices. Philosophy and spirituality, at their best, emancipate us from mental slavery. Journey with us toward real freedom and experience the depth and beauty of your own life.
