Spirit Groups

SpiritGroups give you an opportunity to connect with people in a deep, meaningful, and fulfilling way. They create a safe space where you are heard, appreciated, and loved for who you are. They are designed to inspire infinite connections, one small group at a time, by coming together in a spirit of love and support.

Two new UOTA SpiritGroups welcome you. Both groups will include seven discussions in a small group ministry setting, a social event, and a service project. Both groups will be held at Unity on the Avenue. You’re welcome to join at any time. 

Super Communicators SpiritGroup.

Thursdays
1:00 to 2:30 p.m.

This group will be hosted by Penny Ware, LUT, and Linda Marsolek.  
About: This group will follow the book, “Super Communicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection,” by Charles Duhigg, a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author. Communication is known as a “superpower” whereby we can develop the skills to navigate conversations with others more successfully and effectively. Some people are able to make themselves heard—and be heard—so clearly and easily. In this SpiritGroup, participants will identify and practice the skill of meaningful conversations and making connections with anyone. 
Contact: To participate in the Super Communicators SpiritGroup, please contact Penny Ware, LUT, 303-908-0879.

Sacred Path SpiritGroup.

Sundays 
12:30 to 2:00 p.m.

This group will be hosted by Lori Smith, LUT. 
About: This group will follow “Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Practice,” and its companion book, “A Guide to Walking the Labyrinth to Heal and Transform,” both by Rev. Dr. Lauren Artress, a spiritual pioneer and a leading force in introducing the labyrinth globally. The labyrinth taps into our intuition, releasing creative intelligence and awakening the spiritual nature of seekers from all walks of life. This powerful blueprint for transformation is embraced as an experience in practical spirituality. As the group’s social event, World Labyrinth Day will be celebrated together at Unity on the Avenue on Saturday, May 3, 2025.

Designs for Healthy Living: Are Your Hormones in Balance?

Saturday, April 12th
10:00 - Noon

Our next class will focus on the role of hormonal balance on your overall health.  The brain plays a huge role as a regulator of the release of hormone stimulating agents.  It’s called the HPATG axis: (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-thyroid-gonadal).  We will discover the role stress plays in dysregulating this entire, complex physiological system.  The adrenal glands secrete cortisol and epinephrine.  The thyroid gland secrete thyroxine which controls metabolism.  The sex glands secret estrogens, progesterone and androgens.

Join Dr. Wanda Bedinghaus for a way to balance these dynamic physiological systems based on modifiable lifestyle issues.  This is a complex subject, but Dr. B promises to make it simple!!!

Take control of your health with Functional Medicine.

Join Dr. Wanda Bedinghaus, a leading Functional Medicine doctor, as she leads an empowering class on how to take charge of your cardiometabolic health. Learn actionable steps to reduce your risk and improve your well-being.
