Radical Forgiveness
Facilitated by Rev. Sher McNeal
Wednesdays | February 22-March 28 | 7:00-9:00 PM
$10 Suggested Love Offering Per ClassThere is nothing more powerful than forgiveness for it is an energy that creates freedom of choice, in contrast to reacting and living the same patterns of life over and over. It is the energy that lifts us into a higher level of being, into a greater consciousness that is empowering and enlightening; so much so, that with forgiveness we are able to change any aspect of our life we so desire. Forgiveness is not always easy, so this course offers a number of tools in the Radical Forgiveness technology that will enable you to:
- identify unresolved negative feelings
- release negative feelings
- open to the higher purpose of all things
- expand your consciousness of acceptance and love of self and others
- empower the VICTOR within, not the victim
- see yourself and your world with more loving, caring and compassionate eyes
We ALL have something to forgive – maybe some annoyances and resentments, maybe major issues and wrongdoings, maybe with others and maybe with ourselves. The tools of Radical Forgiveness are powerful, and you can use them every day whenever there is a need. This course is based on the book entitled Radical Forgiveness by Colin Tipping. It is required reading for the class, and copies are available through our spiritual bookstore.

Facilitated by Rev. Ray Nelson
Mondays | March 5-April 2 | 7:00-9:00 PM
$10 Suggested Love Offering Per ClassA handbook of 12 simple lessons exploring the nature of Truth and the presence of God, Lessons in Truth has been hailed by many as the Unity “textbook” and has sold more than 1.5 million copies since it was first published in 1896. Our 5-week course is a spirited investigation of Cady’s material, which has altered the course of modern spirituality and transformed countless lives.
Born in Syracuse, New York, H. Emilie Cady (1848-1941) left a career as a schoolteacher to become a physician and a doctor of homeopathic medicine. Originally associated with the New Thought movement of the early 20th century, her medical and spiritual teachings remain fundamental to Unity. Along with articles for Unity Magazine, her other works include How I Used Truth and God, a Present Help. Lessons in Truth is available in our spiritual bookstore. NOTE: This class is required for Board of Trustees qualification.

Non-Violent Communication
Facilitated by Rev. Cynthia Leveque
Saturday | March 17 | 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
20 Suggested Love OfferingTHIS WORKSHOP IS PRACTICAL AND EXPERIENTIAL. By the end of the day you will be able to use Marshal Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication Model for speaking and for listening. With NVC we learn to hear our own deeper needs and those of others. Through its emphasis on deep listening—to ourselves as well as others—NVC helps us discover the depth of our own compassion. This language reveals the awareness that all human beings are only trying to honor universal values and needs, every minute, every day. NVC can be seen as both a spiritual practice that helps us see our common humanity, using our power in a way that honors everyone’s needs, and a concrete set of skills which help us create life-serving families and communities.

A Course in Miracles
Discussion Group Meets
Mondays 7:00 – 8:30 pm Meditation Room
$5 suggested love offering
Contact: Dennis Matzner 612-770-8000The purpose of the discussion group is to act as an accelerate of learning–complimenting the self study nature and design of the Course. There are no pre-requisites so come as you are. If you are a new student, know that there is no “right or wrong” way to begin and work through the Course. Do not be concerned if you have not gotten through all the material and/or even “get it” consistently. It is a learning process that will last a lifetime. More advanced students can always benefit from and contribute to the insights of others. As the Course would say, “we teach that which we most wish to learn.” Each week, part of the session will be dedicated to a pre-determined topic or area of focus such as forgiveness, healing, the Holy Spirit, special relationships, etc. There will generally also be time each session for Q&A among participants as well as the ability to bring up topics of interest. Topics to expect include:
- The Course in Miracles Curriculum: Is there a right or wrong way to approach it? What is the best way to complete the workbook, should I do it more than once? Forgiving ourselves when we slip.
- Forgiveness: As defined by the Course for ourselves and others.
- Judgment: As defined by the Course, the relief of relinquishing it.
- Special Relationships: Special love and hate relationships, see them for the gifts they are.
