Ordinary Mysticism: Connection, Soul Friends, Mentors & Community | Unity Denver | 5.31.26

This episode opens with a grounding breath meditation, inviting presence, compassion for the body, and remembrance that participants are not alone but part of a connected human family. A reading from Mirabai Starr’s Ordinary Mysticism introduces the theme of “connection,” challenging the search for a savior and emphasizing collective awakening, reciprocity, and the need for community. Tom McNulty shares a personal poem about breathing through past trauma, releasing injustice and abuse, and reclaiming freedom, boundaries, and healing.
Trish Morris reflects on soul friends (Anam Cara), mentors, and spiritual community (Sangha), encouraging gratitude and mutual support while avoiding putting saints or teachers on pedestals. The talk closes with a meditation on connection, an invitation to create a simple TLC outreach list, and appreciation for the congregation as a life-changing community.

Broken Open: Grief, Ordinary Mysticism, and a Pledge to Nonviolence | Unity Spiritual Center Denver | 5.24.26

Continuing an exploration of “ordinary mysticism,” Trish Morris reflects on grief as a natural response to life-altering loss and an invitation into the sacred unknown where mystics say we come to know God. Drawing from Nearby Star and Mirabai, they describe being “broken open” as staying present with suffering rather than bypassing it, allowing grief—the other side of love—to deepen compassion and keep love alive beyond death. They highlight Father Gregory Boyle and Homeboy Industries as a model of meeting violence with hope, belonging, and love, quoting his view that “God lives in the loving” and “I will carry you no matter what.” The talk introduces a 13-point nonviolence pledge (daily meditation, reconciliation, service, health, Earth communion, radical joy, and beloved community) and closes with a meditation and a Quan Yin prayer: “May this suffering serve to awaken compassion.”

Summer Osborne opens with a spoken-word reflection on the power of words to heal or harm, citing figures such as the Buddha, Jesus, Mother Teresa, Summer's mother, and Adolf Hi**er, and urging listeners to be impeccable in how they speak to others and themselves. Songs emphasize inner fire, stepping into personal power, and a call to create and lead with love.
Trish Morris then pivots to 14th-century mystic Julian of Norwich—an English Catholic anchoress whose Revelations of Divine Love, written in Middle English, presents a message of divine love amid war, revolt, and the Black Death, including her assurance that “all shall be well.” A Lectio Divina-style reading invites reflection, followed by a quote from Anandamayi Ma on searching within for true happiness and encouragement to recognize one’s gifts and calling.
