On-going Activities:

	Sunday Morning Class
	Metaphysics I Sundays, 10:10 a.m. Text - Metaphysics Part I Location: Teen Room Facilitator: Lynn Liddell, Licensed Unity Teacher Our class between Sunday services for 2009 will be Metaphysics I, part of the Spiritual Education and Enrichment (SEE) curriculum developed by Unity Institute. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that deals with “ultimate questions” about the nature of reality, questions like: Is there a difference between the way things appear to us and the way they really are; When I make what feels like a free choice, how do I know I am really acting freely? What makes a person the same person throughout the course of his or her life? Explore how the Unity Movement approaches these questions and others. Materials will be available at the first class.
	Caregivers Support Group
	Tuesday, December 2nd and 16th, 3:45 p.m. Location: Manning Hall Facilitators: Lynne Laney and Jane Bergquist This group is for people who are current caregivers or have been a caregiver in the past and would like to support others providing this loving service. If you need additional information or support call Lynne Laney at 530-888-6744 or Jane Bergquist at 530-823-5984.
	A Course In Miracles
	.Wednesdays, 7:00 p.m. Location: Manning Hall Facilitators: Bill Bennett and Jim Holbrook The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite. Open to all. A love offering will be received.

Ken Wilber calls the resulting Big Mind process; “Arguably the most important and original discovery in the last two centuries of Buddhism. It is an astonishingly original, profound, and effective path for waking up, or seeing one’s True Nature.” Books will be available in our bookstore. Love offering gratefully accepted

	Playshop Setting Forth in 2009 with Intention and Clear Values
	Saturday, January 31, 10:00 a.m.—3:00 p.m. Location: Manning Hall Facilitator: Cindie Wilding Everyone makes resolutions in the New Year thinking about how they can wipe the slate clean and start anew. Resolutions can often represent the best of intentions. But because we either lack a support system for follow-up, or we are basing these resolutions on what we believe we “should” do or “should” be, there is no inspiration or motivation to keep them going. How would it be to start 2009 with clear intentions, based on your personal values? Being clear on our own personal values keeps us grounded, true to ourselves and in our personal integrity. Organizing our year around our values will feel good to us and will support us in creating our desired future. Come to this playshop and identify, understand and be clear about your values create a values expression project orient your year around expressing those values Sound fun? Please join Certified Retreat and Life Coach Cindie Wilding. Bring a bag lunch, an open mind, an open heart and a youthful spirit. Love offering gratefully accepted.
