Bentley’s House is a grief support group that began almost eight years ago by a couple who lost their dog Bentley and had nowhere to go to move through the deep grief they were feeling. They came to me and asked if I would help them start a forum for people experiencing pet loss.
At that time, I had been volunteering with Hospice and felt honored they asked me to assist with this vital idea and program. Now we welcome those grieving for a pet and experiencing the loss those who may soon lose a pet – the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm.
Bentley’s House is a safe and non-judgmental place to share your memories and feelings. To get the details to join us via a Zoom call, please contact Rev. Amy via email: rev.amy@unityofsarasota.org

A Fall Equinox Celebration and Ceremony at Unity of Sarasota's Labyrinth
2021-09-24 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Unity of Sarasota, 3023 Proctor Road, Sarasota, FL, 34231, United States, Unity of Sarasota, 3023 Proctor Road, Sarasota, FL, 34231, United States
On Friday, September 24, 2021 at 7pm – 8pm
A Fall Equinox Celebration and Ceremony
For The Women’s Meditation Circle and Unity of Sarasota, an in person, outside, around the Labyrinth Equinox, with fire circle, at 3023 Proctor Rd. in back of church. This event is for everyone.
BRING a chair upon which to sit, drums or rattles to shake or beat, bug spray for safe keeping, water for thirst, some money to donate for upkeep of the Labyrinth, and wear your colorful, comfy ceremonial clothes. We will drum, chant and earth dance our way around the fire in this celebration.
EQUINOXES mark a time of balance with equal hours of light and dark. From now on, the days grow shorter and the nights longer. We open to this Fall Season on the western gate of the Medicine Wheel, marking a time of completions, a time of Harvest. What we have sown, we now reap. We celebrate the bounty, lessons, and achievements. This is a time for revaluation and giveaways. It is known in native circles as the “Looks Within” time. It asks us to withdraw into the silence within ourselves for answers and revelations, and to trust this process.
In Native American traditions, the gate keeper for the Fall time is the “Father of the Winds”, represented by the great Grizzly Bear. Old bear teaches us about “going within” as s/he prepares for hibernation. We can think of this time as a time for meditation, for withdrawing ourselves from the chaos of life. West is the home of the Thunder Beings; the element is Water. The color of the West gate is the color of darkness, of night, black or navy blue. It is said that the wise ones, the guides, and shaman stand behind the veil of this gate and are always there to help us when we ask.
Friday’s ceremony will honor these qualities. Together we will hold sacred space for the power of love and light to transcend and infiltrate all beings on this planet, that we may emulate the path of respect and forgiveness for all beings, including ourselves. It is time for us to connect deeply with one another, the earth, and the oceans.
Rev. Zan Benham, Butterfly Deerwoman will be officiating this event. She’ll be joined by several women friends from the Meditation Circle. For information call: 941-922-7839 (Office phone) or Zan@woman-spirit.com

Law of Attraction Class - Back to Basics - on Zoom
2021-10-07 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
Always something for Everyone.
All are welcomed!
_____________________________________________________________

ABOUT THE CLASS
BACK TO BASICS is a beginning level class of the Law of Attraction. I am hoping that we can draw people who have never participated in working with this Law, because I know that their lives will be greatly enhanced by their understanding of it. Everyone is welcome, previous students and new ones. Classes always feel like a support group!
We use the Book, “Ask and It Is Given,” by Abraham Hicks, because of the processes contained therein. This book is popular and can be found at Unity’s bookstore, among others. We blend the principles, tools and processes of the Law of Attraction, along with other notable teachings past and present.
This is a leading edge class, timeless in content. Learning to embody and live this Law is a full time occupation of becoming a conscious, mindful Co-Creator.
The Law of Attraction is another name for the Law of Cause and Effect or the Law of Sow/Reap. We live in this Law just as we live in gravity. Many today understand that we are all co-creators, that when one “asks,” “it is given.” We may make affirmations but often the shadow voice within us is louder and becomes our unintentional communicator to the Universe. We are encouraged to live the actualization of this Law, the workings of which are subtle and specific. It is each person’s own “inside job” in alliance with Source.
Classes include a meditation, a review of a processes and a 20min. YouTube presentation on the material on split screen.
If you are interested, contact Zan@woman-spirit.com or 941-922-7839, (office landline.)
Blessings abound,
Rev. Zan Benham

Rev. Zan Benham has taught the Law of Attraction for 10+ years. She is a Universal New Thought minister, a Sufi Cherag, a spiritual counselor, certified hypnotist, shamanic practitioner, Reiki Master teacher and a ceremonialist.
