June is the month of Imagination, so we are planning to offer some unique Sunday experiences! Imagination is expressed through our capacities ofconception (of ideas!), envisioning, and embodying.We have all surely had great ideas and even held the vision of them so fully that we can actually feel what it would be like if they became a reality.Yet fewer of us have experienced that becoming a reality.Embodiment is the necessary counterpart to the manifestation of an idea.Not only that but our body holds great wisdom.If you are like me, you may spend most of your time in your head and find it challenging to really connect with your body.We are excited to provide this experience with Kerstin Caldwell who recently offered the Freedom of Expression Play workshop with us here at USCD. The fullness of that experience made us want to try to offer it to more of you.Transcript

Sunday, we invited you to (re)imagine your contribution to the collective.Life on planet Earth is in deep upheaval currently– what is your role in the (r)evolution? Utilizing the power of visioning, we imagined anew together, and catalyze our paradigm shift through ritual.

The Memorial Day holiday that we are about to celebrate began as a way of honoring the 620,000 men who lost lives in the Civil War.  That number does not account for the loss of civilain life. “Decoration Day” as it was originally known could also be seen as an attempt to collectively process the profound experience of grief and trauma among the people who had lived through the reality of war in their country; between their own people; over the enslavement of other people forcibly brought to this country.It is  hard for most us to really fathom the depth of pain and conflict held in this experience.  There is still a level of resistance to even speaking about this history, let alone feeling the weight that it holds. Yet, it remains within our shared collective consciousness. If we can actually tune in, we can feel it.How might our world change if we could actually, and honestly express our grief and trauma instead of avoiding, numbing and projecting it?  It begins by courageously meeting our own personal experiences of loss with love and compassion rather than stoicism, denial and avoidance.  Otherwise we are tempted to seek revenge, or a heightened sense of righteousness when faced with our own feelings of betrayal, confusion and grief that are part of our human experience.  War can be seen as the ultimate act of revenge and dominance and it comes with a heavy cost for us all.In Truth, there are no borders or boundaries to our Oneness. What we do to another we ultimately do to ourselves.  May our deepening realization of this Truth result in a widening of our shared solidarity with all of humanity.Only together can we bare the collective loss of the millions of sons and daughters lost in the act of war throughout history. There are currently over 110 active armed conflicts in our world. As we courageously hold the depth of this grief together, we are also supported in envisioning a future where the depth of our connectedness boldly leads us through our perceived differences and ensuing conflicts without the devastating loss of life that humanity continues to endure.This is what it means to realize a spiritually awakened world living Oneness. This is the vision we hold together in community at Unity of Denver.

Listen in as we pay homage to the divine feminine and explore the profound role of motherhood, a force that grants us both roots and wings. With a nod to Eric Butterworth's wisdom, we reflect on the balance of masculine and feminine energies, and how this harmony is crucial for a world of peace and true goodwill. We tap into intuition, the pinnacle of human consciousness, and discuss the journey of turning inward to connect with our deeper selves, which, despite its challenges, offers a path to empowerment and spiritual alignment. Celebrating figures like Mary Magdalene, we correct misconceptions and honor her vital contribution to early Christianity, embodying the very teachings of receptivity that we cherish.
