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

Kirtan with Cheryl Chaffee at Unity of Sarasota
2022-04-01 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
Kirtan with Cheryl Chaffee will be held once a month at Unity of Sarasota in Fellowship Hall. By donation to benefit Unity of Sarasota – Love Offering

Kirtan is a very different kind of music. Based on ancient chants, it has the ability to quiet the mind if listened to with intention. Everyone experiences kirtan differently, and it doesn’t have to be a religious experience. You can think of it as a sing-along. A kirtan concert is not your typical concert either.
The wallah (leader) sings the mantra, and the audience sings it back. As you sing with each other you experience a deep connection with the musicians, the other audience members and yourself. And when the music stops, your mind is quiet.
Because kirtan has roots in India, many of the songs are sung in Sanskrit. If you’ve ever chanted responses in Latin or Hebrew in your religious tradition, then you know how powerful singing in an ancient, holy language can be. You can be completely immersed in the sound, with no words to distract the mind. The magic of the chants can then carry you within.
Kirtan is non-denominational, the Universal language of Spirit, the song of the Soul.

Get Real!—Spiritual Principles of the Velveteen Rabbit:
Resurrection Expresses Authentic Life
“Most of us died an emotional death about age seven. This is the death from which we are being asked to re-awaken—a dream, that on the surface, appears to be Real. We must face what is Real, in a Real way, if we want to activate Real movement in the quality of our life experience. This is not about changing who we are. It is about releasing the ‘who we are not’ of our manufactured identity, so that we may return to our authentic Presence. When we learn to see beneath the surface of things, we begin to move from the world of pretense to the world of Presence. Get Real!”
~ Paraphrased from Michael Brown & the Skin Horse, from The Velveteen Rabbit
