Unity
Goes to the Movies
“Ray”
Sunday, May 20th
at 1:30 pm
Each month, we present a movie with great entertainment and spiritual value on our 65 inch wide-screen TV. After each showing, there is a group discussion about the film. Hosted by Rod Kennedy.
Ray Charles has the distinction of being both a national treasure and an international phenomenon. This movie stars James Fox in his academy award-winning role as Ray Charles. It provides a portrait of Charles’ musical genius as he overcomes heroin addiction while transforming into one of this country’s most beloved performers. His inspirational journey is one of hope, redemption, and the overcoming power of the human Spirit.
Raised on a sharecropping plantation in Northern Florida, Ray Charles Robinson went blind at the age of seven. Inspired by a fiercely independent mother who insisted he make his own way in the world, Charles found his calling and his gift at a piano keyboard.
What Is Unity?
Unity began as a movement in the late 1800’s when Charles and Myrtle Fillmore started sharing their experiences of self healing with their friends. Charles was a silver prospector and a real estate broker in Kansas City. Myrtle, his wife, had suffered from tuberculosis since she was a child. At a difficult time in their lives, they attended a lecture that transformed them. Myrtle left the meeting knowing that she was a Child of God and, therefore, did not have to inherit illness. Myrtle began reading the Bible and praying daily. After two years, she was healed of tuberculosis and was no longer an invalid. Charles was healed of a withered leg and related illnesses. They also overcame financial problems, as well as other difficulties.
The Fillmore’s saw Jesus as the Master Teacher and felt their understanding was a return to Jesus’ original teachings that perhaps others had not fully understood. They called it Practical Christianity because they taught principles that when applied led to transformation of lives. They did not set out to establish a church, but rather an educational system, teaching principles of Truth.
Charles and Myrtle established teaching and ministerial training programs, Silent Unity, a 24-hour prayer service, and published spiritually uplifting books and magazines, such as Unity Magazine and the Daily Word. Their legacy lives on, and today there are approximately 1000 churches, centers, and study groups world-wide, with people numbering in the millions who are part of the Unity Family.

Workshop
“DISCOVERING
THE SACREDNESS
OF BREATH
AND SOUND”
With Phil Shiva Jones
Sunday, May 27th
2:00 - 4:00 pm
Visiting Australian Interfaith Minister and recording artist Phil Jones will present an interactive workshop teaching meditation and simple breathing techniques with the Australian didgeridoo. The didgeridoo is an ancient mesmerizing drone instrument made from a eucalyptus tree and traditionally played at healing ceremonies by the Aboriginal clans of Australia. Playing the didgeridoo creates soothing and resonant harmonics that easily erase the “monkey chatter” in the mind—enhancing mental clarity and emotional equanimity. The primordial vibration of the didgeridoo and the simple breathing techniques help create a state of relaxation, lower blood pressure, relax the heart, and improve digestion.
Four Basic Steps
In the Workshop:
Step 1
Accessing a state of inner tranquility and connecting to the Divine within, which includes simple breathing exercises for
enhanced meditation.
Step 2
Demystifying the technique of Circular Breathing, where you will learn how to continuously make a sound through the instrument while breathing at the same time.
Step 3
Bridging the subtle and
physical realms via the
expansion of Harmonics.
Step 4
Creating nature, animal, percussive, and toning sounds through the projection
of the voice.
Prior musical experience is not necessary. All participants will be provided an instrument to play during the workshop. Instruments and meditation CD’s will be available to purchase after the workshop.
