Instincts Workshop

2/13/2020

WEDNESDAYS | March 4-April 29 | * | **

Our instincts are habitual. Yet, they are also the most unconscious parts of ourselves. In fact, we each have an instinct that is our “blind spot.” Fortunately, understanding this gap in perspective is the secret to change. Join certified enneagram teacher Kathleen Tomich to learn how your personality type’s fixations distort the instinct and go deeper into the power of the enneagram. The workshop is offered in the afternoon and evenings. So, pick the time that works best for you.

* This nine-week Instinct Workshop is $45 or $5 per session.
** Minimum of 3 people desired for the evening class.

Work scholarships available. No one turned away. Pre-registration and questions by calling 208-699-7777. Sign up sheet in the hallway. Private sessions available.

Whether you attend on the 19th or Christmas Eve, we know that you will enjoy the rituals and message of this annual celebration of Christmas. This family centered celebration will explore the symbolism of Christmas in a deep and meaningful way. We hope you will join us.

Altar Candles

In preparation for the service, we invite you to contribute a candle and holder for our altar. These special candles will have a specific place in our program and do not replace the individual candles we all light at the end of the service. Your candle can be new or used, and large or small. Just make sure that you bring it in with a holder by Sunday, December 15th. You can collect your candle following the service on December 24th. Thank you so much for your participation in this wonderful event.

Fall Faith in Action Home Study

9/2/2019

October 13-November 24
Study Groups are in process.

This 6-week lesson series will be guided by Brene Brown’s book The Gifts of Imperfection, along with a thoughtfully prepared workbook. Each week, the lesson topic for the study groups will be introduced in our Sunday Services. Together, we will find that imperfections are a critical part of our lives. We will also discover, by accepting and embracing them, that we are worthy of love and good things; a discovery that can be life changing.

In preparation for this group study program, we are seeking home hosts and facilitators. If you can help in this way, please add your name to the sign-up sheet in the hallway or email unity@unitycenter.org.
