Unity of Wimberley

With Michael Finn

Be Here Now…Really?Nick Giovacchini
Spiritual wisdom teaches us to be immersed in the present moment.  But, how do we discern what this moment is truly asking of us—and respond in a spiritually aligned way?

As an eternal being on a soul's journey through life in a physical world with its highs and lows, we are forever called from the "Deep Within".  This call is to carry out the soul growth and expansion we intended prior to entering. There is something that we all must address if we are to fulfill our true purpose. Howard will speak to that "Something."

Our annual White Stone Ceremony with Joshua Whiteland.

What happens when you combine end-of year reflection, Unity metaphysics, and the principles of Kwanzaa? Some might expect a clash of traditions; but we know it is the convergence of deep and practical spiritual Truth. This final Sunday of 2025 gives us an opportunity to notice how collective intention shapes individual lives -- and how individual healing uplifts the whole. Guided by Dr. Tracy Brown we will celebrate our victories, release patterns that block our future, and prepare ourselves to rise together to reach new heights in 2026.

The birth of Jesus symbolizes the powerful awakening of consciousness that has touched all corners of the world. The honoring and realization that this Christ Consciousness lies in all of us, is truly the source of eternal joy.  

In Unity, Advent is a season of inner preparation--not about waiting for something outside of us to change, but about awakening to the divine light already present within. The talk will explore Advent as a living, personal journey of transformation: how moments of breakdown can become sacred doorways to hope, faith, joy, and love when we turn inward and choose conscious change.

“There is a mysterious interplay between silence and time. Waiting in silence is the essential condition for experiencing the passage of time as gift, not as a threat.” — Thomas Merton
For some, the holiday season overflows with activity and expectation; for others, it highlights a sense of introspection and quiet. Both can be comforting, and both can feel overwhelming. How we experience time — whether in busyness or in stillness — has the potential to create within us a sense of constriction or expansion.
In these contrasting experiences, the spaces in between invite us to know the place within ourselves that is always luminous, forever undiminished, and eternally revealing Divine perfection. Here, in the quiet center of our being, Divine Love is not something we reach for but something that meets us. In this Advent week of Love, we remember that this inner spaciousness is often the quiet doorway through which Love reveals itself — not through circumstance, but through Presence.

How approaching life from a non-defensive position allows energetic paths to widen, creating space for highest and best outcomes.
