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

Talk Title: Meaningfullfilled
“Each of us is born with a calling. We all want growth, happiness, and freedom. That yearning is the driving force behind everything we say, do, and think. We are all trying to feed our hungry hearts. Until we find something that fills us, nothing changes. We’ll keep on saying, doing, and thinking the same things, over and over again. Fulfillment isn’t found with the old maps. It isn’t made with the old tools. Using what we already know only leads to more of the same. Everything changes when we find something meaningful and mythological. That comes by challenging assumptions, by stepping out of our comfort zones. Meaningfullfilled will give you the tools you need to step into the unknown with courage. You’ll discover that your heart’s calling is proof that you’re meant for greatness. What you’re looking for is not found. It is here already. It is not made. It has always been the truth. You have what it takes. Life works when we engage with it. It’s time to stop marking time and start making a mark.”
~ Rev. Dieter Randolph

Law of Attraction Summer Refresher Class with Zan Benham - Room D
2021-08-04 13:00 - 15:00 | Unity of Sarasota, 3023 Proctor Road, Sarasota, FL, 34231, United States, Unity of Sarasota, 3023 Proctor Road, Sarasota, FL, 34231, United States
Many have asked me about a daytime class, well voila, here it is! We will review the A through Z of the Law of Attraction. All your questions will be clarified, answered, and actualized. These classes blend the principles, tools and processes of the Law of Attraction, contained in the book, “Ask and It Is Given,” by Abraham/Hicks.
This class is open to all students of the Law of Attraction. This class is a review of what has been previously covered, therefore is a Refresher.
A fall class, “Back To Basics” is planned for new students on Thursdays starting Oct. 7 from 7 to 9pm at Unity of Sarasota.
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 a small voice within us is louder and becomes our unintentional communicator to the Universe. It is each person’s own “inside job” in alliance with Source.
Classes include a meditation, a review of a processes and a 20min. Abraham YouTube.
If you are interested, contact Zan@woman-spirit.com or 941-922-7839 or speak with Darlene at Unity of Sarasota, 941-955-3301.
Blessings abound everyone,
Rev. Zan Benham

A Fall Equinox Celebration and Ceremony at Unity of Sarasota's Labyrinth
2021-09-24 19:00 - 20:00 | 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
