What we’re about
This is for anyone interested in a positive inclusive spiritual community dedicated to awakening each life to the spirit within. Centered in love, we honor and celebrate a world awakened to peace, abundance and respect for all creation. We believe in the awesome power of community and welcome every person with acceptance and love.
We provide events, experiences and practical teachings to help ourselves live healthy, prosperous and meaningful lives. We believe in making a positive difference in the world and are involved in spiritually-based social action. The goal of our meetings and events is to inspire, educate and awaken to our true nature as spiritual beings. In this way we help each other discover and live our spiritual purpose and potential.
Our Vision for Unity of Fairfax as A Spiritual Center for Education, Practice, and Service In line with Unity of Fairfax’s Mission and Vision, we are called to take bold action to awaken the world to peace, abundance and respect for all creation. To answer this call, we envision Unity of Fairfax as a comprehensive Spiritual Center for Education, Practice, and Service, inviting all who seek to deepen their connection with the Divine to learn, grow, and share their talents and gifts with others who may be in need. Education, Practice, and Service are all dynamic elements of a strong spiritual development program. Through Education, we ignite the intellect and the imagination. Practice allows us to engage the Divine in a physical and heart-centered way. And Service creates an opportunity to share with others the love, gratitude, and oneness we experience through Education and Practice.

We live in an ever-changing and complex world, and the spiritual landscape is no exception!
We often are faced with problems that cannot be addressed by ‘either/or’ solutions, because these “problems” aren’t problems at all; they are “polarities.”
Polarities are also known as paradoxes, tensions, dilemmas, conflicts, and wicked problems. Polarities are interdependent pairs that need each other over time. They are energy systems in which we live and which live in us.
Problems have independent solutions—they can be solved. Polarities require a “both/and” mindset, and trying to choose between the two ‘solutions’ creates tension, slows innovation, and keeps individuals and organizations swinging between two mediocre states, or just completely stuck, and even stagnating.
Knowing how to move in the life energies of polarities can make the difference between surviving and thriving. This workshop will challenge you to work on your own spiritual maturity as well as the maturity of the organization or community in which you are involved.
This highly experiential workshop will help you:- Develop your spiritual maturity
- Live more authentically
- Enhance the quality of your relationships and life
- Expand your capacity to move through change more efficiently and sustainably
- Move through change feeling more grounded, centered, and with greater ease
- Transform conflict with great clarity while staying connected to your heart and the heart of the other
- Increase your capacity to LOVE
Discover how paradox is a gift that can become a useful resource for enhancing the lives of each of us and all of us.
This is an all-day Saturday program (includes lunch break).### About the Facilitator
