Part I – St. Louis: Honoring the Past, Activating the Present

August 9–11

These opening two days coincide with two globally significant anniversaries:

• 80 years since the bombing of Nagasaki (Aug 9, 1945)

• 11 years since the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson (Aug 9, 2014)

In collaboration with Dr. Marty K. Casey, founder of Black SON Day, we will gather to honor the lives lost to violence—both at home and abroad. Events include:

• Black SON Day: A powerful ceremony honoring people of color lost to violence in the U.S. and worldwide

• Pilgrimage to the Ferguson Peace Pole: A sacred gathering of prayer, remembrance, and recommitment

• Unity Ceremony at the St. Louis Arch: A transcendent collective ritual beneath this symbol of expansion and hope

These moments of truth and reckoning will open us to what comes next: personal healing and collective renewal.

Part II – Unity Village Retreat: Spiritual Activation & Communion

August 11–14

Nestled within the serene grounds of Unity Village, this three-day retreat is an invitation to awaken the soul, deepen spiritual practice, and embody the path of unity.

Led by a powerhouse team of facilitators—including Rev. Paulette Pipe, Kristin Hoffmann, Dr. Marty K. Casey, and Ben Bowler—this immersive experience will include:

• Transformational music and sound healing

• Sacred practices and rituals bridging Heaven and Earth

• Deep personal reflection and group activation

• Healing spaces for grief, joy, creativity, and vision

• A supportive environment for spiritual community

This retreat is for those who feel called to serve as bridges between worlds—between past and future, grief and peace, the Old World and the New Earth.
