Cultivate & Integrate (1970s)

By 1970, the dream of the 1960s had soured. The assassinations. The war that wouldn’t end. The counterculture that had turned into addiction and disillusionment. The revolution hadn’t come. And so the question became: “Now what?” We’ll explore the decade that turned inward – not as an escape, but as a profound spiritual realization. The 1970s taught us that changing governments and institutions wasn’t enough. Lasting change required transforming consciousness. Whether you remember the 1970s or only know them from movies and music, there’s a place for you in this conversation. Because the questions the 1970s asked are still our questions today. 1970s [https://unitychurchofgreenville.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1970s.pdf]Download [https://unitychurchofgreenville.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/1970s.pdf]

Breaking Open the Self (1960s)

The 1960s gave us a lot. Bob Dylan. The Beatles. Woodstock. The moon landing. And also – a question we’re still trying to answer: “Is this all there is?” The 1950s gave us stability. The 1960s gave us the courage to ask if stability was enough. This Sunday, we continue Unity Through the Decades with Week Two: Breaking Open the Self. We’ll ask: What were they really looking for? Why did music become scripture? How did Eastern spirituality and the Human Potential Movement change everything? And the big one:  Is God found inside – or through collective action?

Tuning In (1950s)

The 1950s called. They want their rabbit ears back! lol This Sunday, we begin our six-week series Unity Through the Decades where we will be traveling back in time – not for nostalgia, but for revelation! The 1950s gave us the television – and with it, a shared script. Leave It to Beaver. Father Knows Best. The perfect lawn. The perfect family. The perfect smile. But underneath the black-and-white surface, something was stirring. We’re going to explore: The music that shook the hips and the parents, the movies that mirrored our dreams and our fears, the Unity teachings that remind us: There is only Presence, and it’s always broadcasting, even when we’ve forgotten how to tune in, Unity’s own history, both the light and the shadow, the progress and the unfinished work. Whether you remember the 1950s or only know them from movies, there’s a place for you in this conversation. Because the 1950s aren’t just back then. They’re still alive in the scripts we follow, the fears we hide, and the parts of ourselves we’re still learning to sing.

Don’t Scream, Just Paint

I don’t know about you, but sometimes the noise just gets to be too much.The deadlines. The news. The inner critic that never seems to take a break. And somewhere in all that screaming, I can lose the quiet part of myself.But this week, I was looking back on the years I homeschooled two of our boys. And I remembered one voice that was part of our daily routine. Every afternoon we would gather at the television for a lesson with a quiet, steady presence that taught us something far bigger than any textbook.He never raised his voice. He turned smudges into beauty. He looked at a mess and said, “I can work with this.” That’s a different way to live! Not louder. Not faster. Just – differently. This Sunday, I want to share what I found.It won’t be what you expect. You won’t need to be an artist or have your life together. Just bring yourself. Bring your noise. Bring your mistakes.We’ll sit together, learn something simple, and leave a little lighter than we came.
