Rev. Heidi Alfrey Speaking at Unity of Ventura, July 31.

Rev. Heidi Alfrey is the featured speaker at Unity of Ventura, Sunday, July 31. Services are at 10:00 a.m. at the Santa Paula Room in the Poinsettia Pavilion (3451 Foothill Rd., Ventura). Her topic is: Summer Is Hot, But Don’t Be A “Hot Mess”!

Rev. Heidi explains: Learning to “chill” is a spiritual skill. Come get in the shade Sunday July 31, cool off and look at how to navigate life twists and turns with grace and ease without losing your passion. Remembering what Charles Fillmore in his 90s said with passion and purpose: “I fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm and spring forth with a mighty faith to do those things that ought to be done by me!”

Rev. Heidi is a leader, speaker and teacher of authentic spiritual living. Rev. Heidi served in Unity ministries in Ft Lauderdale, Maui, Kansas City, Chicago (as senior minister) and Santa Barbara. Rev. Heidi’s philosophy is that we are all “diamonds in the rough.” As Michelangelo taught, one just needs to “chip off” what is not part of the masterpiece that is you. Rev. Heidi’s passion is co-creating spiritual communities in which people find their tribe, follow their passion, live their faith, connect with their inner divinity and manifest a world that works for all.

Music during the service will be provided by Smitty and Juljia, Ojai-based artists known for their uplifting sounds and beautiful vocal harmonies. Unity of Ventura celebrates diversity and honors our Oneness. All lifestyles, faiths, genders and ethnicities are welcome. Following the service is an informal gathering for coffee/tea/snacks on the Poinsettia Pavilion patio with its panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean.
