A Hero's Journey 
Join us as Dawn Mathis guest speaks for us on Sunday. She attended Unity years ago and is excited to be with us again this Sunday. Her talk will be based on the 4-week course, of which she is a certified instructor, that was written by Mary Morrissey called: "Standing Firm When Your World is Shaking."
For over 30 years, Dawn has worked with students, medical patients, real estate clients, senior citizens and caregivers to help them achieve their goals, accelerate their results, and create richer, more fulfilling lives.
Dawn has studied the Principles and teachings of the greatest thinkers and avatars of success: Andrew Carnegie, Napolean Hill, Henry David Thoreau, Alan Cohen, James Allen, Emerson, Mary Morrissey, and others.
She blends her understanding of these Success Principles with her own life experiences and life lessons to help clients achieve extraordinary results in accelerated time.
She will also have information about her retreat in Jan 2020: "A Hero's Journey" (the full 4-week course over a 3-night stay in the mountains).
Also, if you would be interested in the 4-week course and her 2020 Vision Workshop here at our Unity, please let her know, as she is open to facilitating the course for us for a love offering that she would donate back to our Unity.

Next Movie Night is
FRIDAY
October 4th
at 6:30pm
FOR OCTOBER ONLY, WE ARE MEETING ON the first
FRIDAY NIGHT
Popcorn and snacks provided and/or bring a snack to share
FREE - Love Offering
October's movie is Buck
Rated PG
(for thematic elements, mild language and an injury)
“Your horse is a mirror to your soul, and sometimes you may not like what you see. Sometimes, you will.” So says Buck Brannaman, a true American cowboy and sage on horseback who travels the country for nine grueling months a year helping horses with people problems. BUCK, a richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses.
A real life “horse-whisperer”, he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses—and people—with his understanding, compassion and respect. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American story about an unsung hero, Buck is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.

There is a bulletin board for housing, employment, and services posts.
There is also a board on which you can leave your business cards, or you can take some of those home with you.
