MEETING IN PERSON!

This month we are preparing to meet together in person – finally!

It has felt like such a long time since we at Unity Maidenhead have done this. Zoom has been, and continues to be, an amazing tool to help us connect through lockdown. To those of you who join us online, please be assured that our Zoom meetings will continue and indeed go from strength to strength.

Yet there is nothing quite like being together in person. Therefore, we are excited, as we get ready to do this through two events coming up:

• Celebration Day, 28th July at Unity London
• August Retreat, 7th – 9th August at Holland House Retreat Centre, Pershore, Worcestershire

You will also find these details in the July e-newsletter, including the links to our website.

It has been of utmost importance to stay safe through the pandemic – to do what is right for us physically and yet, at the same time, support ourselves spiritually. Indeed, truthfully, we become better at the former by doing the latter.

Being together in person enables us to connect more deeply with the love and support we give and receive with each other, through the deepening awareness of God as Grace here with us always.

Being together enables us to really look each other in the eye and recognise the light and love that is present within us all.

Being together deepens our friendships and relationships as we learn the little and big things about each other that endear us to each other. Seeing the perfect and imperfect in another, with loving acceptance, helps us accept and love our own imperfection and perfection, as human and spiritual beings.

As we embrace our imperfections, rather like the oyster embraces the grit in its shell that becomes a pearl, our imperfections become the tool through which we grow and remember who we are – beloved of God and the presence of love in form.

So if you are feeling the call to join us, either in person or on Zoom, please do so. We continue to be here to support everyone in all the ways we do. Whenever we meet, we encourage all involved to share the love and wisdom that we all have and are. For each one of us has more than enough love and wisdom to give and receive. Through this giving and receiving, we are all blessed.

We look forward to sharing the adventure of living with you.
