“We’re promoting a new way of thinking," he explains.  “That people are good and have always been good.”  And Unity members are unabashed in their endorsement of the Center’s teachings.

“Everything that Unity Center provides, has, quite literally, changed the way I live my life,” says Lucie Arnaz.  “I have TOOLS now that I never had before to help me approach each circumstance with gratitude and have learned to experience and use my feelings to mature, emotionally and spiritually.”
