We are continuing our journey in Nonviolent Communication this week with a brief review of what we've learned so far. And, this Sunday we'll explore the 4th step in the process, which is making requests and listening empathically. When we learn to do this, we are honoring the Life that is within us, and within others.
And Rev. Victoria has a little surprise in store for us that will help demonstrate these ideas.

We are continuing our exploration of Nonviolent Communication. This week our focus is on feelings. Because we grow up in a culture that discourages us from experiencing our feelings fully, we often confuse feeling with what we're thinking, or our opinion of things. When we learn the language of NVC we begin to identify specific feelings, and when we communicate our feelings with an open heart to others, it creates connection. Secondly, while others can stimulate the feelings within us, no one can cause us to feel a certain way. Our feelings stem from our needs either being met or not met. We'll explore these needs that are universal in nature.

This week we will be continuing our journey of understanding and learning how to use the tools of nonviolent communication. We are learning a new language that helps shift the way we think about our relationships, and to embrace a more compassionate view of ourselves and others. Rev Victoria will share how the idea of "observation without evaluation" contains themes that echo many Eastern traditions.

This week we begin our exploration of NVC, or NonViolent Communication based on the book by Marshall Rosenberg. This week we're looking at how we are, by nature, loving, compassionate people because we are all expressions of the same One Divine Love. When our relationships don't reflect that, then something has gotten in the way. Something has disconnected us from our natural way of being. We'll begin to explore what that might be and, more importantly, how to return to our innate nature of love...and inspire others to return to theirs!

In Unity, we embrace the idea that we navigate our human lives from the Divine within each of us. The Jewish word, "Tikkun Olam" means just that: As Divine Love, we perform acts, small or large, that help to repair the world. In this way, we experience our Spiritual Magnificence and empower others to do the same.
Affirmation: From Divine Love, I Participate in Repairing the World.

All month we have been opening to a Higher Vision for our lives this year, clarifying that vision, and setting our intention to see situations differently. And now we're ready to move forward with a new mindset and some solid tools. We also know that in order for the manifestation of that Higher Vision to be sustainable, we'll need to make some changes in our daily lives. What's the best way to do that? 1) Really connect with the calling from your soul and, 2) build in a good structure that sustains that kind of change. This Sunday join Rev. Victoria as she shares the best ways to do just that.

The expression: "every cloud has a silver lining" means that even the worst events or situations have some positive aspect. Let's find the light in this journey together.

This week we will continue our forward intentional movement that began with our White Stone service, and the guiding word, or idea, for 2024 that our Inner Wisdom revealed to us. We will honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the power he had to awaken the dream within us - a dream for our country, and for our individual lives. Together we will embrace the vision that is seeking to emerge from within us, and, as Rev. Michael Beckwith always says, "Allow yourself to be pulled by your vision rather than pushed by the pain." This is true for us both on an individual level and collectively as we help create a world that works for everyone.

Now that we have released what was holding us back in our Burning Bowl service last week, we have created space for new possibilities of good to grow. It's now time to listen to our Inner Wisdom that will guide us in our growth this year. We will do this together in our White Stone Service. You will walk away with a tangible, visual guide that will provide focus as you move forward into the new year intentionally, creating what you truly want.

Many indigenous cultures know the power of fire to transform our physical, as well as our spiritual, environment. This Sunday we will consciously participate in this ritual as part of our annual Burning Bowl service as together we release those events, problems, beliefs, energies, and ways of being that are holding us back from growing into our full potential. By doing this ritual in a group setting we are giving our body, mind and spirit a definite signal that we are ready to release the old and move forward in our lives more intentionally and powerfully.
