Join
us for an uplifting spiritual interfaith gathering first, third, and
fifth Sundays from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the community room at Greenlife
just north of Greenlife Grocery Store at 70 Merrimon Ave, Asheville,
NC.
Enjoy
coffee and pastries & the Spirit of the Unity
Cafe!
We'll
sit at café tables, sip coffee, munch on pastries, ponder a
topic of timely and spiritual interest, and share our wisdom and stories.
It's a time of casual gathering, interfaith and universal spiritual
exploration, openhearted sharing, and meditation within the quiet
of your own Being.
It's
fun, it's fascinating, and it's touching. We have lively conversation
and community. We grapple with the questions that touch our hearts
and daily lives, and enter into the possibilities and mysteries of
the Divine. We acknowledge that everyone has their own perspective
and invite people to share from their own authentic life experiences.
Sharing is respectful and open-minded. We don't seek agreement as
much as thoughtful insight and personal awareness. Ultimately, each
of us has our own unique experience of Spirit and must live from that
experience.

Vision Statement
of Unity Café
The
Unity Café
is a warm and welcoming place where diverse people gather in community
to have and explore an authentic and grounded experience of Spirit.
Unity's five foundational principles, the perennial Truths of all
faiths, and each person's inner awareness provide a pathway to deepen
the connection to the Divine and Sacred within ourselves and all Life.
The Unity Café
is a community committed to authentic sharing, to accepting and supporting
others perspectives, and to practicing compassion and wisdom. It is
a place of wholeness and healing, and of embracing body, mind, heart,
soul, and Spirit. Within the community of the Unity Cafe, we will
explore how we can understand and live our lives deeply grounded in
the Divine. It is a place where casual and comfortable gathering opens
all participants to a greater sense of the Divine—the Creative
Life Force—within themselves, each other, all creatures, and
all creation. Unity Café
is a place to honor, to heal, and to celebrate all of Life.
Unity's
five foundational principles are paraphrased as:
1)
The Divine is the ineffable ultimate Unity of All and is active everywhere
in everything.
2) Humans,
all creatures, and all creation are an expression of the Divine and
are essentially Whole and Holy.
3) We
create our experiences by what we choose to think and what we feel
and believe.
4)
Through affirmative prayer and meditation, we connect with the Divine
and can express more fully our innate wholeness in our lives.
5) We
heal our world and ourselves when we live from our Wholeness.
