The Wisdom of Gandhi at Unity of the Valley
Week Three: Satyagraha, Soul-Force
Sundays from June 3 through July 15
at the 10:00 a.m. service
Unity of the Valley - 3912 Dillard Road
(39th & Hilyard), Eugene
(541) 345-9913.
This amazing seven-week study series highlights Mahatma Gandhi's spiritual practice to make nonviolence a transformative power in everyday life and is very relevant today!
The Gandhi series, which we wrote in 1999, became the most popular seven-week program ever offered at Unity of the Valley. We hope that every person touched by this series will be inspired by Gandhi’s selfless example to pursue a higher level of spiritual living.
We have based The Wisdom of Gandhi on the book,
"Gandhi The Man: The story of his transformation"
by Eknath Eswaran
Weekly Themes:
· Week One: Gandhi The Man
· Week Two: Ahimsa, Nonviolence
· Week Three: Satyagraha, Soul-Force
· Week Four: Yield and Prevail
· Week Five: Out of the Ego Cage
· Week Six: The Steady Mind
· Week Seven: The Illuminated Soul
What people have to say....
"The Wisdom of Gandhi was a very inspiring program. During our sharing we all saw practical ways we could practice nonviolence – starting with ourselves.” Susan Marshall, series participant.
“The Wisdom of Gandhi series is a transforming experience. Use of the signed affirmations added to the weekly lesson, anchored me in spiritual principles necessary to wholeness and reinforced my understanding that peace and nonviolence in our world begins with me. I am blessed and grateful to have shared in Gandhi’s teachings in thie unique way." Mary Ellen Avis, series participant
"I had never thought of Gandhi as a man with human frailties
Just like the rest of us – that he grew up with fears as a child
That he was married and listened to the advice of his wife. He
Grew into his beliefs and way of life through his spiritual practice
And from his example, I know I can make a difference too.” Bonnie Chappa, series participant

Eckankar Community HU Sing
You are invited to experience an ECKANKAR Community HU, a Love Song to God, and a period of sacred contemplation. Regardless of your beliefs or religion, singing HU (pronounced like the word hue) can bring you greater happiness, love, and understanding.
All are welcome to this free event on
Sunday, June 24th at 10:00 – 10:30 am
ECKANKAR Center of Eugene, 2833C Willamette Street,
Eugene, OR (541) 343-2657
“HU is woven into the language of life. It is the Sound of all sounds. It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado. Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. And yet, the word HU is not God. It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life.” - Sri Harold Klemp, Spiritual Leader of ECKANKAR, Religion of the Light and Sound of God.
[SPN NOTE: I just viewed a short video that really shows the power of the HU Sing. Check it out: http://www.miraclesinyourlife.org/]

A Course in Miracles drop in study group
10:00-11:45 Unity of the Valley 39th and Hilyard Eugene

"... The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite..." (from the introduction to A Course in Miracles)

In Yogic philosophy, all living matter is composed of five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. These elements are known as the five tattvas. They are experienced as qualities of matter, the sensations we feel, and in the behaviors we choose to determine the attitude and altitude of life. Join us for a series of tattva yoga sets and meditations to identify and balance these elemental influences in your life.

"The Soul of the Heart Sacred Circle" combines Hellinger's Systemic Constellation Work and sacred ceremony. It is an experiential process, working at a deep soul level. This heart-based approach brings more immediate and lasting impact than techniques that address the mind alone. Through constellation work, we uncover hidden generational dynamics which create obstacles that prevent us from living our lives well. Shifts occur on a systemic level so that we can experience the natural flow of love, strength and support within our lives.

The Wisdom of Gandhi at Unity of the Valley
Week Five: Out of the Ego Cage
Sundays from June 3 through July 15
at the 10:00 a.m. service
Unity of the Valley - 3912 Dillard Road
(39th & Hilyard), Eugene
(541) 345-9913.
This amazing seven-week study series highlights Mahatma Gandhi's spiritual practice to make nonviolence a transformative power in everyday life and is very relevant today!
The Gandhi series, which we wrote in 1999, became the most popular seven-week program ever offered at Unity of the Valley. We hope that every person touched by this series will be inspired by Gandhi’s selfless example to pursue a higher level of spiritual living.
We have based The Wisdom of Gandhi on the book,
"Gandhi The Man: The story of his transformation"
by Eknath Eswaran
Weekly Themes:
· Week One: Gandhi The Man
· Week Two: Ahimsa, Nonviolence
· Week Three: Satyagraha, Soul-Force
· Week Four: Yield and Prevail
· Week Five: Out of the Ego Cage
· Week Six: The Steady Mind
· Week Seven: The Illuminated Soul
What people have to say....
"The Wisdom of Gandhi was a very inspiring program. During our sharing we all saw practical ways we could practice nonviolence – starting with ourselves.” Susan Marshall, series participant.
“The Wisdom of Gandhi series is a transforming experience. Use of the signed affirmations added to the weekly lesson, anchored me in spiritual principles necessary to wholeness and reinforced my understanding that peace and nonviolence in our world begins with me. I am blessed and grateful to have shared in Gandhi’s teachings in thie unique way." Mary Ellen Avis, series participant
"I had never thought of Gandhi as a man with human frailties
Just like the rest of us – that he grew up with fears as a child
That he was married and listened to the advice of his wife. He
Grew into his beliefs and way of life through his spiritual practice
And from his example, I know I can make a difference too.” Bonnie Chappa, series participant
