Ruth Miller will lead this workshop which is the second part in her
series.
Last March we looked at what happens when we look through
the eyes of
other cultures that have predicted a time coming when the world, as we
know it,
no longer exists. Now we ask, "What may life be like on the
'other
side' of 2012? Dr.
Miller will explore some ideas about transformations that have been
emerging
alongside the Apocalyptic visions; visions of a new kind of culture,
based on a
global, post-industrial economy; and guidance and encouragement from
some of
the prophetic visions, describing what kinds of actions will carry
people
through. The
years ahead contain danger and opportunity--perhaps opportunity for
something
we haven't yet imagined? Rev.
Miller is a speaker, writer and coach with degrees in systems science,
cybernetics, environmental studies and anthropology. After 20
years of
working in academia and business, Rev. Miller was ordained as an
independent
New Thought Minister. HARMONIC WEALTH DVD - Attracting The Life You Want - Friday, July 18th at 7:00 p.m. “A

- A Historic Healing Workshop - Sunday,
July 27th at 1:00 p.m. Unity
was founded on the personal healing story of Myrtle Fillmore. Myrtle was dying of TB
when she heard the now
famous words: “You
are a child of God,
you do not inherit illness.” Those
words
led Myrtle to establish a program of healing herself through her own
consciousness, and then she and her husband, Charles, went on to form
Unity.
