The Ten Commandments – Metaphysically InterpretedThursdays, July 1-29 | Fillmore Room | 7:00-9:00 PM
Facilitated by Jeanette Bohnen
Suggested love offering of $10 per class
This class is based on the books, Metamorality, A Metaphysical Look at The Ten Commandments by Eric Butterworth and The Ten Commandments: The Master Key to Life by Emmet Fox. Eric Butterworth and Emmet Fox do an amazing job of going beyond the obvious meaning of the Ten Commandments, bringing insight into different levels of meaning from physical to spiritual, emphasizing that the Commandments were intended to bring to light metaphysical truths. From this higher level of understanding, “thou shalt nots” are in effect impossibilities.

Oneness Awakening CourseFriday | August 13 | 7:00-10:00 PM
Saturday | August 14 | 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Facilitated by Patricia Keel
Course Fee: $195 for New Initiates
$125 for Oneness Blessings Givers
Preregister and prepay at either www.onenessprogram.com or office@unitychristchurch.org
The Oneness Awakening Course is designed to help us move beyond the limitations and structures of the mind, beyond our past conditioning. The course helps us to experience reality as it is-- that natural state where the senses are alive, the heart is open, in direct contact with the Oneness in everything. In this weekend you will:
- Experience samskara shuddhi, an ancient technique to heal relationships and release negative and limiting patterns.
- Open up the kundalini energies through powerful meditation practices and movement.
- Deepen your relationship to the Divine as your awareness expands and you move out of conflict into a state of no resistance, a state of Oneness.
This is a sacred, divinely led process which culminates in the transmission of a very special Oneness Blessing called the Mukthi Deeksha, given through an ancient spiritual technology called Padukas. Padukas are symbols that represent the feet of the Divine, a powerful cross-cultural understanding of surrender.
Once you complete the Oneness Awakening Course, you will be initiated as a Oneness Blessing Deeksha Giver, and will be shown how to give Deeksha to others.
Oneness Trainer, Rev. Dr. Patricia Keel, is Founding Minister of Unity of Berkeley www.unityberkeley.org and creator/owner of SpiritMatters www.spiritmatters.com church growth programs. Patricia has been a Oneness Blessing Giver since March 2006 and was initiated as a Oneness Trainer in January, 2010. Contact info: (patriciakc@aol.com 510-759-9697)

Facilitated by Rev. David Belton
Suggested love offering of $10 per class
10 SEE Credits Available
A handbook of 12 simple lessons exploring the nature of Truth and the presence of God, Lessons in Truth has been hailed by many as the Unity “textbook” and has sold more than 1.5 million copies since it was first published in 1896. Our 6-week course is a spirited investigation of Cady’s material, which has altered the course of modern spirituality and transformed countless lives.
Born in Syracuse, New York, H. Emilie Cady (1848-1941) left a career as a schoolteacher to become a physician and a doctor of homeopathic medicine. Originally associated with the New Thought movement of the early 20th century, her medical and spiritual teachings remain fundamental to Unity. Along with articles for Unity Magazine, her other works include How I Used Truth and God, a Present Help.
Lessons in Truth is available in our spiritual bookstore.
NOTE: This class is required for Board of Trustees qualification.
