Upcoming Events

The first Sunday of each month is Newcomer Sunday! Newcomers (however you define that) are invited to join existing attendees for a potluck lunch (generously provided by the latter) immediately following service! Short introductions of key leaders will be made, and your questions will be answered! All are welcome!

Tao-N Time will be a place where seekers of truth can come together to share their journey with likeminded individuals from different walks of life; a time to dig deeper into your personal understanding of the mysteries that surround us, while we learn from and inspire each other. We will gather to read, discuss, and savor the hidden beauty within Lao Tzu’s master work the "Tao Te Ching.” All are welcome to join us, so they can hear and be heard as we explore this 2,500-year-old text that is still as relevant today as it was when it was first written. Facilitated by Phillip Patzer, this series will feature his book, Tao Te Ching: A Fresh Look at Ancient Wisdom, available in the UIL gift shop.

The Sunday Sisterhood is a Spirit-focused gathering for women to share experiences, make friends, and enjoy the support of other amazing women of UIL. This is an open group - all women are welcome.  Please join us onsite, the 3rd Sunday morning of each month at 9:30 AM in the Senior Minister's Office. We will adjourn prior to the Sunday morning meditation. Registration is available here.

This Dinner with Others event is a collaboration sponsored by Northwest Interfaith and Unity in Lynnwood. It seems that humanity is taking sides, building teams, gathering arms and growing apart - that humanity is creating “others” with unprecedented vigor and animosity.  Let us rehumanize each other, as brothers and sisters at a global table, for the greater good of all. Facilitated by Dr. Richard Loren Held. This is a free event. Please register in advance.

Group Spiritual Direction seeks both exploration and experience of the presence of God, the infinite, in our lives. In a group setting, participants engage in various exercises that help us deepen our sense of connection with the divine. The experiences include silence, story, reflection, contemplation and deep listening. Individuals are encouraged to trust their inner wisdom and to support others as they do the same.

Christoph Wagner, cellist, and Joanne Kong, pianist, have been acclaimed for their sensitive and passionate artistry. Cellist Christoph Wagner hails from Germany, is the winner of numerous international awards, and has performed in prestigious venues around the world. Joanne Kong, pianist, was awarded a fellowship from the American Academy of the Arts in Europe and is recognized for her versatility as a solo and chamber musician. One concertgoer wrote, “Christoph and Joanne come together with exquisite beauty. That unique ability - the gift of sharing - from the composer, to and through Christoph and Joanne, and into the body and soul of the listener speaks to the depth of their connection to the music and each other. Their playing is exquisite and is a gift to all who have the opportunity of experiencing them.” This evening’s concert is part of the duo’s 2024 Northwest concert and teaching tour.  They believe in the power of music to transform the world.
A light reception will follow.  Your generous support makes quality events possible.  Thank you for your love offering.

Edgar Cayce's Summer Seabeck includes rustic lodging, family style meals, innovative programs, and fun-loving activities surrounded by Seabeck friends in a rural retreat style setting.

Attendees find time their most treasured gift here during the warm, sunny days of Seabeck. Leaving  daily life behind opens up rare opportunities to sit back and relax, or take a stroll along the beach.  There is plenty of time to play, dance, hike, socialize with like-minded friends, meditate, and journal.  Listen, learn, and experience soul growth lessons and practices with some of the most highly acclaimed teachers in the country.  For many of us, it is an annual retreat and reunion with our Seabeck family that we look forward to each year!  July 3rd-7th.
