We are here for you! Life is meant to be lived as a joyous, growth-filled experience and God is the loving power and presence within us that helps us in our everyday lives.

One central aspect of a mature love of ourselves is caring about our growth sufficiently that we do not flee from the discomfort or pain of our actual condition. We must love ourselves enough not to abandon ourselves—and we abandon ourselves to the degree that we are not fully present to our own lives. When we are caught up in worry, fantasy, tension, and anxiety, we become dissociated from our bodies and our feelings—and ultimately from our true nature.
(The Wisdom of the Enneagram, 347)

“Before children speak, they sing. Before they write, they paint. As soon as they stand, they dance.” This beautiful quote highlights the purest form of human expression—art. From a young age, we are drawn to express ourselves in ways that transcend language. Art is a universal language, and it connects us in ways that words alone cannot.

Children teach us that expression isn’t about perfection or judgment—it’s about freedom. It’s about tapping into our inner creativity and sharing it with the world, unrestrained. Art is the foundation of all human communication, and it allows us to process, connect, and heal.

What forms of art allow you to express yourself most freely? Whether it’s painting, dancing, singing, or writing, let’s celebrate the creative forces that make us human. 🎨💃

✨ Our Vision Board Workshop Was a Beautiful Success! ✨

Our recent Vision Board event was truly enjoyed by all, with a wonderful turnout from our congregation. It was a meaningful and inspiring experience—one filled with creativity, connection, and heartfelt intention-setting for the new year.

A special thank you to Kate for facilitating such a thoughtful and welcoming space. Your guidance gave everyone the opportunity to voice their intentions, reflect deeply, and envision what they are calling forth in the year ahead.

We are so grateful for this shared experience and look forward to gathering again soon. 💫

May the New Year Be Kind to You

May the new year be kind to you.
May it unfold gently,
with moments of warmth that find you when you least anticipate them
and with simple lasting joys that deepen with time.
May there be peace in the ordinary days,
light in the heavier ones,
and kindness, given and received, woven through it all.
May you feel supported when you are tired,
hopeful when the road feels uncertain,
and grateful for the quiet blessings that often go unnoticed.
May what you carry become lighter,
what you seek come closer,
and what you love continue to grow.
And may this new year meet you with grace,
offering space to heal,
room to dream,
and the reassurance that good things are still finding their way to you.

~ 'May the New Year Be Kind to You'

✨ Burning Bowl Ceremony – New Year’s Eve ✨

Join us at Unity Des Plaines on New Year’s Eve, December 31, at 5:00pm for a sacred Burning Bowl Ceremony. This meaningful ritual invites us to reflect on the past year, release what no longer serves us, and consciously welcome the New Year with clarity, intention, and hope. Through prayer, reflection, and symbolic release, we create space for new possibilities and spiritual renewal.

All are welcome—come as you are and begin the New Year with an open heart and renewed spirit. 💫
