Monthly Newsletter
for September, 2012 

 

Dear Ones

 

 

Imagine 100 million people awakening to greater reality on December 22, 2012, and celebrating an ever-expanding field of love, innovation, creativity and collaboration! The famed 26,000-year Mayan Calendar comes to an end on December 21st.   Unity and New Thought believe it signals the awakening of the human mind to a greater reality.

 

Can we awaken to a greater reality? Barbara Marx Hubbard believes we can. Barbara Marx Hubbard, noted author, futurist & social architect, is dedicated to understanding and communicating humanity's potentials for a positive future. She is a founding member of the World Future Society, the Society for the Universal Human and the co-founder of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. Her books include The Hunger of Eve, The Evolutionary Journey and her latest book Conscious Evolution: The Great Awakening-- A Spirit-Motivated Plan of Action for the 21st Century.

 

At this year's Unity People's Convention, Barbara's inspirational talk invited us the, "cultural creatives", to celebrate the rebirth of a transforming world. She suggested we join together with the world in this celebration. Image millions of people in awareness of the "Oneness of Possibility". We can generate the energy for a joy-filled world co-created in love, harmony and abundance! 

 

I arrived in Beaumont 5 years ago today; there have been changes at all levels in our community.  I would love to see us continue moving forward in a new, more zeal-filled way for the greater good of the universe.

 

Unity Centers around the world are planning to celebrate this transformational day. If you are interested in planning an event for December 21st, 2012, please email me at revsondra@yahoo.com or call the office to let me know. We are about affecting our thoughts, environment and the world. We do make a difference!

 

Blessed Labor Day holiday,

Rev. Sondra

The Five Principles

 

"Ellen Debenport probes the edges of faith in this remarkable book and points the way into the future. The Christian world needs to hear the message that she brings for it opens doorways into tomorrow."

Bishop John Shelby Spong, author of A New Christianity for a New World


The Five Principles was written to provide tools for daily living and suggests answers to the great questions of existence that humans have been asking since the dawn of conscious awareness.

  • What is this greater Presence that we sense around us?
  • Who and what are we?
  • Why do things happen in our lives the way they do?
  • How can we communicate with this Presence?
  • What are we here to do?

Drumming is an ancient musical tradition
that many cultures around the world use to  

energize, build unity, focus attention,  

relax and heighten creativity.  

Bring your favorite drum or musical instrument. 

  NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY 

   

Each person in a drum circle is expressing themselves through his or her drum and listening to the other drums at the same time. Everyone is speaking, everyone is heard, and each person's sound is an essential part of the whole.  - from About.com
