SpiritGroups – A Place to Get Connected!

What’s a SpiritGroup?

SpiritGroups are spiritual discussion groups. A SpiritGroup is a small group of spiritual explorers coming together for connection and an opportunity to deepen through communion, compassion, connection, community and challenge. You’ll experience support, purpose, growth, and fun. The groups meet weekly for 7 weeks while exploring a spiritual topic. During weeks 8 and 9, the group participates in a service project and social outing that they plan together. During the tenth week, there’s a celebration among all SpiritGroups to recognize all that the groups experienced together.

When and where do SpiritGroups meet?

SpiritGroups meet weekly, either in person or on zoom. The seven weekly sessions are typically 90 minutes long and include prayer and/or meditation, exploration of a spiritual theme, and group discussion.

What are the available meeting times?

Meeting dates, times, and locations vary each 10-week cycle. Contact Unity@unitytustin. Org for the current options. Newcomers are welcome to join a group mid-cycle. We want to get to know you!

I don’t see a group meeting at my preferred day/time?

Our groups are led by volunteers and meet at times selected by the volunteer hosts. If you don’t see a group at the right time for your schedule, consider hosting or co-hosting a group. This may be your call from Spirit to lead!

What does a host do?

We’re glad you asked! Being a SpiritGroup host is fun and rewarding. A growing video library of over 15 programs is available to provide the spiritual study component. Each program includes an approximately 20-minute video to show during the session, weekly discussion guides, and host support videos. Essentially, the host’s role is to create a safe and sacred container for connection and discussion. The host can be a beginner with the material: the group explores the material together. Experienced facilitators may choose their own material from a broad array of topics. Hosts and facilitators get support from Unity of Tustin’s SpiritGroup Certified Program Leader, Kathy Andrews.
