Many people in our time feel disconnected – the opposite of feeling heard and empowered to be their best selves. Disconnection results in inner confusion and outer conflicts that lead to a world of pain - loneliness, anxiety, depression, addiction, bullying, violence and wasted human potential. We need a solution that restores hope.
The Connection Practice is a self-empowering skill for resolving conflicts that not only restores hope - it fulfills it.
How? empathy + insight = connection
Rick Stober invites you to join him on Zoom for a "coherence call" at 11:30am each morning. Feel free to join once a week or every day! Please join Rick for the Coherence call via Zoom.

We are inviting people to video-record themselves reading the Daily Word for playback at Sunday service. Karen will be maintaining a schedule in the office. Please contact her at unitylv@rcn.com if you would like to be part of the service by reading the Daily Word.
Here's how it works: You will receive the text for the Daily Word for the Sunday you choose, you record it on your phone and send the video via email. Your video will be incorporated into the Sunday Service!
Once you select your date, and have the Daily Word for that day, you can record yourself and send it in to the office. You do not need to wait. The recording will be stored to be played on your day of choice.

The Day She Disappeared
By Rev. Evin Wilkins
|
|
From Beyond the Gender Binary Comes a Story of a Two Spirit
She walked through the doors of her job for the last time on that cool, breezy autumn day.
The sun peeked just above the horizon, and birds chirped their songs of greeting like a welcoming party for anyone walking across the newly paved asphalt parking lot.
Coworkers cheerily greeted her, same as every other morning, and she waved in return.
She made her way to her desk, going through the motions of booting up her computer and adjusting her chair, same as she always did.
Today, however, was different.
Today was the day everything would change. She knew something that others in the office did not know. She was going to disappear. The person her coworkers had come to know during the past two years would walk out that day, never to return.

How Addressing Anger and Resentment Moves Forgiveness Forward
Why do you need forgiveness to reach your Dream? When you’re not forgiving, you’re angry and tight. You’re holding onto old hurts and hugging your rightness around you like a parka against the stinging winds of change. Your arms are crossed and your mind is crossing out possibilities.
If you think about it, what we can’t forgive is really who we can’t forgive: nonrelatives, our parents, our partners, and ourselves. We’re going to look at each of these in turn—and do something about them.
Why? Because they’re impeding your progress toward your Dream.
Why again? Because you’re expending your energy keeping your resentments warm, lamenting, bemoaning, crying, cursing, kvetching. You have little left over for actively pursuing what you want to do ...
