Fall Festival Individual or Virtual Tickets
This is an educational event that explores the foundation of Unity and then discusses the future of Unity and the New Thought movement in the Twenty-first century. The metaphor of the tree roots and leaves implies that our future is built on the solid foundation of spiritual principles that allowed Unity to take root. Our Twenty-first century expression of these principles are the fresh new leaves.
Virtual Tickets: You will be sent a link to the broadcast one week before the event takes place.
In-House Tickets: Include a continental breakfast Saturday morning and lunch on Saturday afternoon. All in house tickets will be converted to virtual tickets IF there are changes in state or federal regulations concerning covid-19.
