In these turbulent times, Unity and New Thought leaders are being called upon to broaden our vision of ministry by addressing critical issues involving social and political reform while remaining true to our spiritual ideals. The Gandhi-King philosophy of nonviolent action represents a new paradigm of political activism, which promotes nonviolent engagement in its highest form. This workshop will provide the methods and strategies, while demonstrating humane, inclusive, and harmonious life choices. The workshop will include:
  1. becoming familiar with Dr. King’s Six Steps of Nonviolent Social Change and learning how nonviolent movements have impacted our world,
  2. relating Unity principles with social action,
  3. debating political issues using nonviolent communication skills (discussion and role-play),
  4. finding common ground with our political opponents, and cultivating acceptance and compassion toward those with whom we disagree, and
  5. learning how our Unity and New Thought colleagues are taking social action.

Description
In this workshop, you will receive an overview of: The Arcs of Unitive Justice, Unitive Circle questions, and how to apply these in personal life and ministry for conflict resolution. We will discuss how the arcs of Unitive Justice relate to values. Unitive Circles use the restorative circle process to bring understanding, connection, and healing of the root of conflict. Our society has had a culture of punitive justice dating back to the Hebrew Scriptures, “an eye for an eye” justice. It is not surprising how quickly we go to punitive mindset when we feel wronged. The Unitive Circle process brings people to the table to create connection, understanding, collaboration, and solution. It provides a pathway to understanding the underlying pain of conflict. The action of applying restorative circles to personal, cultural, and societal breakdowns is “living the truth we know” and brings about peace. I will use multiple intelligences in this presentation including PowerPoint, music, and experiential exercises to practice the unitive circle process.

After years of Unity leaders wondering where our young adults are, the young adults have spoken. The UWM Young Adult Team offered a survey asking many of these former and current Unity attendees what draws them to Unity, and why they may choose to leave or return. The data is in and the results have been compiled. This webinar is a way for young adults across the Americas to share their stories with you – the spiritual leaders, board members, youth directors, and loving hearts of the Unity Movement. Join us on September 9th to learn what you and your ministry can do to help bring a misplaced generation of movers and shakers back home.

Description
So, you want to write a book. You’ve written hundreds of Sunday messages. You’ve published articles in local papers and your monthly newsletter. Maybe you even have a blog – or you post articles on Facebook. And then, there is this book floating around in your mind. Maybe it’s the best self-help, spiritual book ever. Maybe it’s a collection of those fantastic Sunday messages you’ve been meaning to develop into an anthology. Maybe it’s a memoir – a spiritual message illustrated by the events of your life. Or, maybe, it’s an action-packed mystery filled with intrigue and laced with thought-provoking spiritual ideas. Whatever it is, you can do it. And you don’t have to wait for big-name publishers to pick it up. Nor do you have to wade through the business of Indie-publishing alone. Rev. Eileen Patra, author of “The Mystical Ark: A Vessel of Blessings,” shares the steps that got her book out of the box of unfinished manuscripts to a finished novel available from major retailers around the world. Indie-Publishing can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be fun, exciting – and, it can be a channel for life-long passive income.
