Start the day with a Morning Meditation guided by an UMMAS minister in the beautiful Chapel of the Transfiguration... Or wake up your body with gentle, healing Tai Chi on the pavilion overlooking the lake... mist rising... birds singing as the sun peeks over the pine trees reflected in the tranquil waters... ah... Enjoy a wide variety of workshops offered by ministers from the Unity Ministers of the Mid-Atlantic States (UMMAS), as well as inspiring sessions with our keynote speakers. Inspiring, original Music will fill the air and your hearts... including...
Stretch your body.... take a hike, walk the labyrinth, play tennis, or visit the waterfront. Still your mind with Vespers in the quiet beauty of the Chapel of the Transfiguration... then drift off to dreamland... or visit and laugh with your new friends. Massages & Bodywork by local professionals will be available for a separate love offering that you give to the bodyworker. Please indicate on your registration form that you plan to treat yourself to bodywork, so we can plan times and availability. |

"Words cannot express the joy & peace I brought home with me from the Spiritual Retreat..... It was a pleasure to meet you & so many new friends. As I start my Path down the Unity journey, I'll always remember the joy & peace that fills me now. Sincerely, Yvonne"
"For me-UMMAS and Kanuga changed my life. I had just moved to Asheville NC. It was my first event in my new life. First I had the opportunity to get to know Rev. Chad O'Shea and his profound unconditional LOVE for everybody he met. Second I met one of my new best friends Kyle Shiver. Kyle is such a talented musician and now speaker. He is an excellent writer and has a great blog on his website thespiritcenter.us. if you haven't read his work I would highly recommend it. And then there is Dale Worley who carries the spirit of God within his vessel.He just recently became the senior minster of Unity of Savannah. Since Kanuga I have made a trip to Savannah to attend a CD release of Kyle Shiver's lastest CD and just recently made a trip to Greenville SC to hear Dale speak and attend one of his release parties of his lastest CD's. Kyle and Dale have become two very good friends to me and I would never have met them if I had not attended the Kunuga Conference put on by UMMAS. Thank You UMMAS. God Bless You All--See You In September-----Namaste, Jacquie"
