Unity of London offers mind-opening events

Unity of London wants to expand Londoners' horizons with two events this month.

Unity of London is a spiritual, New Thought community. “We're Christian, we follow the teachings of Jesus, and we see Jesus as our Way Show-er,” explained Unity's Rev. Lori Hisson.

“Unity is quite open-minded, and we know that there is truth in everything. We have an open mind to education, to learning about what others are doing.”

On March 13 at 7:30 p.m., author Robert Schwartz will come to town to discuss his book, Your Soul's Plan. Schwartz is known for his work as a past life soul regression therapist and between lives soul regression therapist. He will discuss spiritual growth and the meaning of life.

“He's got a great perspective. Some people are going to think it's way out there, and (for) others, it will resonate with them,” said Hisson. “It'll open us all up to another way of seeing things.”

On March 17 at 12:30 p.m., Gabriella Puschel will host a workshop entitled Getting Your Voice Back, which is focused on self-empowerment.

“It just seemed to me that a lot of times, we don't use our voice. We're very polite Canadians and so we don't always speak what's in our heart or on our mind ... with love, we should share what's important to us,” said Hisson. This workshop will show attendees the importance of speaking about what's on their mind, finding their voice and knowing that people don't have to agree with what they say, but they do need to listen. “She's talking about learning ways to express yourself confidently and discover your voice.”

There is a fee for each event: for Schwartz's presentation, Unity is asking for a $10 love offering, and for Puschel's workshop, Unity is asking for $20. “We never turn anyone away because of finances,” added Hisson, and attendees who cannot afford those prices are asked to give what they can.

“As I've often said to my congregation, ‘If I had just known some of the spiritual wisdom when I was younger that I know now, my life could have been a little bit different,'” Hisson said. She added that it's empowering for young people to understand more about the world around them. “To learn these teachings at a young age will really empower them for their life experience.”

Both events take place at Unity of London at 137-4026 Meadowbrook Dr., and everyone is welcome. For more information, call 519-652-9294 or email unityoflondon@hotmail.com. Check out Unity of London's website at unityoflondon.com.
