NEW FOR 2025!

Would you like to feel centered and balanced in spite of all the changes going on around you?

One of my favorite ways to do this is through a Unity teaching called "The Twelve Powers."  This teaching affirms that within each one of us, there are 12 Spiritual Powers--aspects of our divine nature.  When we consciously and intentionally develop and use these powers, we can experience greater peace, harmony, and balance in our lives. 

The twelve powers are:
     Faith, Love, Strength, Wisdom, Power, Imagination, Understanding, Will, Order, Zeal, Renunciation, and Life.   

    Each month in 2025, I'll be speaking about one of these Spiritual Powers at Unity of Reading and the Sacred Gathering Service in Lemoyne.  I'd love to have you join me for one of these services and discover how awakening to each power can create positive changes in your life.
  In my monthly newsletters, I'll be sharing an affirmation for the power of the month and several suggestions for applying that power in your life. If you'd like to receive copies of my newsletter, scroll to the bottom of this page and sign up. You can unsubscribe at any time.

 
The Power of Wisdom 

      "Let the wisdom of your soul shine into every life you touch."

       In our continuing study of the 12 Spiritual Powers within us, we explore the power of wisdom.  How do we move from relying only on intellectual knowledge and reason to accessing the wisdom of our souls and allowing our light to shine in the world?
