Choose 2 from the following:

A. Beyond the Secret with Mary Anne McCubbin, LUT
We’ll review the basics of the Secret. Thoughts held in mind produce in the outer after their kind. (Sound familiar?) Remembering that our feelings are guidance from God , we can stay positive and patient. We have to plant the seed before the earth will give forth – we can’t expect the earth to give before we do. All of this has to do with action- not just positive thinking. Mary Ann has been a licensed Unity teacher since 1995 and is a member of High Country Unity.

B. Communicating with Compassion with Ken Rosevear & Gwen Murphy
Nonviolent (or Compassionate) Communication is a practical way to connect with Divine Energy in ourselves and in others. Marshal Rosenberg, Ph.D. was recognized for developing NVC by Unity's 2005 Light of God Expressing in Society award. The model focuses on observations, feelings, needs and requests. It emphasizes compassion as the motivation for action rather than fear, guilt, shame or blame. More information at: www.cnvc.org.
