First Unity honors the creative process as a spiritual practice.  We provide the teachings and environment that encourage individuals to experience the divine through a variety of artistic endeavors and experiences.

Often when people think about spiritual practices, they think of prayer, meditation, contemplation, Scripture study… and these things are indeed spiritual practices; however, as artists of all kinds will acknowledge, engaging in the creative process is also a spiritual practice.  Within the Unity Movement, the creative process and the creative power of thoughts and words have a place of high regard in our teaching.

Everyone has some kind of creative talent.  Everyone is an outlet for the creative power of God.  The problem we often run into is that we start judging what we’ve made as good or bad, discounting the fact that life is an evolving process.  Our practice is to allow Spirit to flow through us.  The first thing is to simply allow – and enjoy! – the expression of our creativity.

In November, First Unity will host 11:11 – Three Days of Spiritual Art, Music and Performance in which all participants will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of spiritually-inspiring creative endeavors.  If you’re ready to have your mind and heart opened to a new vibration of spiritual practice, visit the website to find out more.
