**The power of unity can easily be seen in how we come together in times of crisis. But what about after the immediate crisis has passed? Can spirituality help us harness the power of unity, regardless of circumstance, and despite our many differences?** **With each passing day, it seems like we are realizing more and more how interconnected we all are, how much we depend on one another. Old patterns of existence based on division aren’t working for us. Particularly in times of crisis, we see that we do better when we come together, when we’re able to support one another and draw strength from each other. But what if this power wasn’t limited to times of crisis? What if unity wasn’t just a lofty idea worth aspiring to but a strategy to be used in affecting positive change? Is there specific guidance we can follow, methods we can enact to help us create a more materially and spiritually advanced society?** **Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on the power of unity in helping us enact a social & spiritual transformation. Join us for a lively discussion as we explore the role of spirituality in helping us work with each other on the path towards the betterment of us all.** **“So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole world.” – Bahá’í Teachings** **\*\*\*This event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief.

This is a family friendly event so come have informal fun around the Winter Solstice. Light a friendly candle in the hope of making the world a more peaceful and better place. Converse with a fellow freethinker. This is a modern, Human-centered "holiday" celebration is sponsored by the WASH MD chapter. Contact Gary Berg-Cross at gbergcross@gmail.com. While the event is free and open to everyone we'd like to know who plans on coming so contact one of us so that we make proper arrangements. This is planned as family friendly and we are looking forward to a time to chat, eat and chill out in a warm way. We will have: * a rolling pot luck "dinner" (bring what you like bur something that you will enjoy. * Contact Gary to inform him of what you will bring. There is a Google doc link posted to keep track of items at [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a_Xx2F20I6vwwoDHcDeKVAv-EQQD63lj3IAFI0yuc1c/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a_Xx2F20I6vwwoDHcDeKVAv-EQQD63lj3IAFI0yuc1c/edit?usp=sharing) . * Candle lighting for Reason, Compassion, and Hope….and maybe a toast for Humanity * And we have our annual free raffle (probably around 7-8) complements of Mary and Fred Edwords. Everyone gets a ticket and will get something with first called getting the item of their choice. Again, this is a free and relatively informal, ritual-free secular celebration near the winter solstice. Background if Humanlight is New to You Humanlight a secular holiday that celebrates Reason, Compassion, and Hope -- and brings people together to recognize the passing of one year as we look forward to a new one.Established by the New Jersey Humanist Network in 2001 HumanLight provides a specifically Humanist celebration with a sense of belonging that families and friends can enjoy near Christmas and the northern Hemisphere's winter solstice as a celebration of "a Humanist's vision of a good future." It’s an event to Illuminating Humanism's Positive Secular Vision that the HumanLight organization promotes to “illuminate Humanism's positive secular vision” and as the AHA said in a 2009 announcement – “affirm the positive values of humanism during the time period of the “traditional” winter holidays.” It’s just a small, fun step towards a new tradition and something to make this December a little bit fuller time for non-believer.

We had a wonderful session in September so let’s do it again! A Reiki Circle this is a gathering of Reiki practitioners who work in a group to provide Reiki treatments on each other. The main purpose of the Reiki share is to give and receive Reiki in a casual atmosphere of friendship, encouragement, and positive energy. We will share our wisdom and skills, socialize and make new friends in this Reiki community. Space is limited to 10 people. We will see if we need to grow or shrink from there. Let us know if you have and questions! See you there! Shaman Phil
