We don't have to wait for pearly gates to recognize the day of judgment.  Every time we use our own sense perception to condemn or oppose ourselves or others, we ourselves are being judged.  God does not punish us, but we can punish ourselves.  What we sow we reap.  Every day is judgement day.  Join this enlightening conversation with Rev. Chris and Rev. Kevin Rice as we e...

We are constantly making assumptions about ourselves, others, even life, and God. These assumptions almost always create expectations that many times will not be met. That is when disillusion, misunderstandings, and hurt arise. Being able to question our assumptions and creating healthy communication tools can allow us to live life with more freedom. This is the power of the 3rd Agreement and a po...

From visions of a Grim Reaper to the idea of a 'final enemy,' the experience of death is among the most feared of all aspects of the life we now live.   Understanding the eternal nature of every individual can help us to realize that those we love are not dearly departed, but live very truly in our hearts forever.

Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “all work and no play makes Jack (and Jane) dull”. It means that without time off from work, a person becomes both bored and boring. But is that really true? How does play revive us and how is it really a spiritual practice that we all need in an overly busy world? In this episode of Tea Time, we chat with Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Amy Baez, to discuss why p...

Who has peace of mind? We all are just one moment away from freaking out about money, health, the world, travel, leisure, having too much space, not having enough space, and on and on. One moment we are fine and the next we aren’t. Let's come together and practice knowing that we know. Let's practice knowing that we live in an abundant Universe and all our needs are met. We just have to realize it...

Beloved Unity Minister, Dorothy Pierson once wrote, "Stillness is a birthing point." We may think that our lives are too busy or too chaotic to experience this stillness, yet in the midst of all, there is Silence. Recognizing that our "dark night of the soul" or other personal challenges can be the environment from which a deeper and stronger peace can emerge is an important step in owning fully o...

We can get so accustomed to the idea of instant gratification. While we learn the power of creating our own experience, is there still an attachment to seeing that instantaneous manifestation of our desires, dreams, and visions? The Power of Yet is the power of a growth mindset, one that recognizes that we are continuing to evolve and continuing to learn about the ways in which we can show up in o...
