What’s Happening at Unity

Now through December, we’re collecting nonperishable food for the San Diego Food Bank. Drop donations during office hours (call ahead) or bring them Sundays. Look for the reddish-orange barrels once they arrive. Virtual donations & most-needed items: Virtual Food Drive link and Most Needed Items list. Questions? Contact Jennifer.

On the Clayton side of the Sanctuary, volunteer cashiers are needed—contact Jennifer Purcell. This Sunday features Serrv International’s Holiday Items. See Kate Guant, Nancy Hart, and Robyn Thomas for assistance. In November, enjoy 20% off books and 15% off all jewelry, except for Unity pendants.

For the past few years, we've proudly supported the Monarch School, and this year we hope to raise $2,500 to sponsor a full Christmas celebration for their 6th-grade class. Every dollar goes directly toward personalized gifts, family support gift cards, food, crafts, and festive supplies for Mrs. Daley’s students. Your donation will help create a joyful holiday experience and provide meaningful support to children experiencing homelessness—can you help us reach our goal?

A talk by Sharon Hinckley on moving into the Holidays with Ease and Grace. Please dress comfortably as we will literally be doing some Breath and Movement.

The San Diego Food Bank will host its Senior Food Distribution event in our facility’s parking lot. Starting January 2026, we will hold two distribution days each month. We apologize for any confusion about them starting this month. Please direct any questions about eligibility or service to the San Diego Food Bank.

We're thrilled to announce our youth exhibit, “The Inspired Art of Our Youth,” which opened on Sunday, November 2nd. Centered on the theme of Friendship, this exhibit is sure to bring joy to everyone who visits it.

Please join us for a magical evening, this year our Candle Lighting Service is on Christmas Eve the 24 of December at 5pm. We will be featuring Nicole De Kozan, Jimmer Bolden and The Soul Notes Band.

Please join us for a morning of releasing this past year and creating your goals or intentions for the new year. Our Burning Bowl and White Stone Service will be on December 28 10am-11:30am featuring Nicole De Kozan with The Soul Notes Band. And our Youth Village will be closed for this Sunday so your children can sit with you in the service. We’ll have a kid version of the releasing this year and intentions paper for them to write on.

Experience guided meditations, mantras, and soul-stirring music with Brian Lottman, a wandering monk who has led hundreds of satsangs—immersive gatherings that use energy healing, mantra, harmonium music, and meditation to help participants awaken deeper realization and connect with the Essential Nature of Life.

EVERY SUNDAY AT 10 AM

Sunday School Youth Village welcomes kids ages 3+ with check-in from 9:50–10:10 AM. Children enjoy play, lessons, meditation, and activities during the service. For under 3, please use the family room near the sanctuary.

EVERY SUNDAY

Before and after service, engage in three spiritual practices: release what no longer serves you with water, set an intention by lighting a candle, and submit a prayer request.
