Sally Kempton, “one of the great realized teachers on the meditation path” according to Ken Wilber, calls meditation a “love affair with your innermost self.” During her forty years as a meditator and teacher, Sally has taught countless students not only the practice of meditation but also the application of yogic wisdom in everyday life.
In her first visit to Unity of Tustin, Sally presents a two part workshop. On Saturday, the focus will be “Practical Enlightenment: Practices for an Awakened Life,” exploring teachings and practices for waking up and aligning yourself with the evolutionary impulse that lives within each of us. In addition to meditation, contemplation, movement, partner work and voice dialogue, workshop includes:

• How to shift your energy from stuck states to awake states
• Tuning in to your awakened self The difference between the egoic self and the true self
• Finding your own best doorways to enlightened energy – the ones that really work!

On Sunday afternoon, the topic will be “Love, Spirit and You: A Radical Approach to your Relationship with Spirit.” Drawing on the insights and practices of the various devotional traditions as well as key developmental maps, you will learn to break through habitual patterns that limit our on-going relationship with the Beloved. Workshop includes:
How cultural patterns and psychological issues affect our relationship with Spirit – and how to get beyond them.

• What it means to see the divine in another.
• The inner secrets of deity practice
• What is spiritual love at different levels of consciousness?

Sally is the author of the acclaimed Meditation for the Love of It: Enjoying Your Own Deepest Experience as well as the popular Wisdom column in Yoga Journal magazine. For more information on Sally Kempton, go to www.sallykempton.com.

“We have come to a place now where our search for Truth must
no longer be for the rewards;it must no longer be our seeking a creed to follow,
but it must be our living a life.”
-H. Emilie Cady

Lessons in Truth was written at the end of the 19th century by homeopathic physician and New Thought teacher H. Emilie Cady. It is a clear and concise series of lessons (in the form of chapters) that detail the foundations of Unity teachings and metaphysical principle. Since its original printing, over 1.5 million copies of Lessons in Truth have been sold, making it probably one of the most influential and widely-read books in the Unity movement.

Our class will focus on the teachings in the book and how they apply in your life. It is a continuation of our series on Unity foundational teachings.

This class is offered for Spiritual Education and Enrichment (S.E.E.) credit through Unity Institute. Attendance at all five classes and completion of all assigned coursework is required for credit.

One Soul, One Love, One Heart:
The Yoga of Love and Relationship

 with John Welshons

 Saturday, February 25 10 am – 4 pm
Sunday, February 26 1:30 – 4:30 pm

 Using teaching and meditation, this intensive will focus on John Welshons’ book One Soul, One Love, One Heart: The Sacred Path to Healing All Relationships. Looking directly at all of our relationships, including our romantic relationships, our relationships with family, friends, and co-workers, John shows why the path to real and lasting happiness lies in recognizing that we are all One, and living in that awareness. He shows us how to heal our most difficult relationships by transforming them into our greatest spiritual lessons.

We will also explore our relationship with our body, our mind, our personality, our community, our planet, and our Creator. We will begin to uncover the root causes of problems in relationships, and experience – directly – our “spiritual heart,” the sacred place within us where unconditional love resides, and where all healing takes place. For information on John Welshons go to: www.onesoulonelove.com.

with Dr. Marj Britt 

We are clear that our willingness takes us beyond our previous knowing, perhaps beyond our comfort zones. Yet there is an Understanding that transcends and gives us an awareness of the bridge between human awareness and Divine Awareness. It is Pure, knowing no opposites. Vertical awareness gives us clear seeing and discerning. This intensive takes us to the place where the two seas meet, “the place where the human and the divine meet”.

We know both the endlessness of Love and the ordinariness of life in our human experience. We know there is still a human story of meaning and purpose…a part of what is. Our experiences go beyond the rational mind and reveal a hidden and vaster dimension of our being. We are the divine purpose being made manifest..

Master teacher and mystic, she embodies the essence of unconditional love as the pathway to ever higher levels of consciousness.

 Recognizing the Value is one of the essential parts of your knowing your soul, knowing your own value and recognizing all that you are, always already. Recognizing the Value of your own being is imperative as you move into realizing your divine destiny and your soul’s calling for the fulfillment of your own highest potential. Your involvement in the Intensive will be a training ground for your own recognition of your highest value.

 All proceeds go directly to Unity of Tustin. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Selfless service scholarships are available – become a part of the team for the Intensives. For information contact Diane Fish at intensives.dianekf@cox.net.

with Debora delaCuesta and David Nowe

January 9 – February 13

Have you ever wondered what “transcend and include” really means to you?

At Unity of Tustin, we have sought ways to connect to deeper truths, to achieve well-being and harmony and to realize our highest potentials. Integral practice is a way to develop to your fullest capacities, toward a freedom that incorporates all the aspects of your life: relationships, work, and spirituality. Some of the benefits for using Integral Life Practices (ILP) are: finding and living your deepest purpose, loving and caring for yourself and others more fully, communing with life, the universe, and Spirit, to name just a few.

Come join us for an introductory course in Integral theory (AQAL). This 6 week class is based on Ken Wilber’s book Integral Life Practice and will provide you an embodied understanding and experience of his theory and life practices. This will be the first course in a series of advanced integral teachings and practices.
We will be using AQAL(all quadrants, all levels) as a map of consciousness, giving you a set of tools for designing your own personalized life practice. You will learn to live “transcend and include”.
This class will be taught by Debbie delaCuesta and David Nowe. Both have studied Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory. Debbie has completed the Integral coursework required for Integral certification along with Susanne Cook-Greuter’s Leadership Maturity Framework, and Cindy Wiggleworth’s Spritual Intelligence coaching.
We will be using Integral Life Practice by Ken Wilber as our primary text. It offers a comprehensive review of Integral theory along with engaging and practical ways to live this consciousness. This class will close to new members after the second meeting.
