Using the Unity book, The I of the Storm by Gary Simmons, we will go deeply into our personal experience of nonresistance and peacemaking. Each week, in this small group virtual homestudy, our focus is on tools and principles of peacemaking so that we might expand our abilities to be the voice and life of God expressing through us.

Week 1: Search for Wholeness ~ Question 3
Discussion Question
Think of a behavior that you find unacceptable, and look for the belief system that supports that judgment.
Can you find the experience or lesson that created that belief system?
The first thing that comes to mind is "not showing up". For me this can relate to feelings of unworthiness, feeling less than or fear of being seen.
A few experiences come to mind from my history, which felt harsh at times and abusive. I choose to keep the details to myself at this time, though thanks for "listening".
The I of the Storm is the NTUC foundation class for discovering who we have come here to be. It is based on the book, "The I of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace" by Gary Simmons
This class explores core Unity spiritual principles, creating an amazing foundation for coming together as a spiritual community fully aware of its divine potential.
"I of the Storm" will give the New Thought Unity Center common language and common purpose that will empower us to move with love and compassion into our future.
