“The Magic Begins Now: Aligning with Flow in the Year of Awakening”
As the year begins to take shape and we approach a season that celebrates love, we are invited into a new relationship with life—one rooted in flow, synchronicity, and sacred unfolding. Across spiritual traditions, many are sensing a collective awakening already underway, a shift in consciousness that echoes the deep spiritual insight experienced by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore.
This talk explores how we align with this living current of Spirit—not as passive observers, but as conscious participants. As we learn to trust divine guidance within, we allow transformation to move through us, shaping our lives and the world with greater clarity, compassion, and love.

“What Makes Your Heart Sing”
During Jesus’ ministry, the religious leaders frequently attempted to trick him with their questions. One of the scribes asked, “What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus turned the question back to the scribe, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” The scribe answered, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus responded, “You spoke the truth, do this and you shall live.”

“The Living Universe”
Just as we have a physical body that houses our eternal soul, so too is our dear Planet Earth the physical body of a living soul of light. I wonder if we would behave differently if we believed we inhabited the skin of a living conscious creature. In that same vein, our sun is not just a fiery ball of hydrogen, but the physical body of an ancient, loving and very aware extraordinary spiritual being living in full alignment with divine will. Unity Principle number one states: There is only one Presence and one Power active as the Universe and in my life. God the Good. Is it possible that what we call our Universe is actually the physical body of a vast, living, breathing, conscious soul? A soul that holds all her children in love.

“The 3 Pillars of Lent”
The three pillars of Lent are prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. We can often feel weighed down, spiritually, physically and even materially. There is a reason why simplicity has become so popular these days. There is something liberating about not being weighed down by a lot of stuff. We regularly need to shed the excess in our life so as to be free and responsive to God’s Will and the needs of our family, our church, and our community. The three pillars of Lent help us to accomplish this. They are prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

“As the Spirit Moves Me” 
We will discuss the sometimes confusing feelings we have concerning what the right action is to take in challenging situations.  Discover practical techniques to discern if an impulse to take a given action is a message from Spirit and if we should follow that impulse.

“Prayer, Fasting, & Almsgiving”
Prayer fights against the excess of meaningless activity. Fasting fights against excessive sensual pleasures that distract us from fulfilling our vocation and purpose in life. All this giving fights against the excess of materialism and worldly concerns that distract us from recognizing and living for the most important things in life – our love of God, family and neighbor. We moderate the secular pursuits not because of worldly concerns, but as gifts from God, but when they are unchecked they can quickly dominate our lives and even enslave us.

“Release and Reimagination”
This year’s Lenten book is entitled Release and Reimagination. It deals with two of our Twelve Powers: Release and Reimagination. It is time to take stock of what we have been able to release and re-imagine during this period.

“Becoming What the Moment Asks”
In Unity, we understand life as responsive, intelligent, and guided by an indwelling wisdom. The question before us now is not What is happening in the world? but How am I called to show up within it?
On this Palm Sunday—a day that symbolizes conscious entry into a higher calling—we explore how spiritual awakening becomes practical and embodied. How do we listen for divine guidance in times of change? How do we respond with clarity, compassion, and faith when outcomes are still forming? Together, we will reflect on what it means to consciously participate with Spirit—allowing our thoughts, choices, and actions to express the highest truth we know. As we align with the moment before us, we discover that we are not behind, unprepared, or lost, we are being shaped for exactly what is needed now.
