On Tuesday, October 7, beginning at 7:00 pm, the Affiliated New Thought Network joyfully welcomes you to the beautifully remodeled Goppert Event Center at Unity Village while we “Raise the Roof” in a free celebration of music, spirit, and connection.
This unforgettable evening features:
- A concert with the incomparable Rickie Byars, joined by notable soloists and a vibrant New Thought Community Choir. Rickie is an acclaimed and beloved singer-songwriter in the genre of inspirational/New Thought music. Her music resonates in spiritual communities of all denominations throughout the world. She was the Founding Choir Director and Music and Arts Director for over thirty years at the Agape International Spiritual Center and has released nine solo albums of inspirational music, seven choral music albums, three songbooks, two volumes of choral music arrangements and one mini-memoir of stories about her songs. She is often referred to as the Queen of New Thought Music, perhaps because she brings such joy through her healing songs that arise from her Divine Connection to God.
- An inspiring message, “New Thoughts About New Thought,” shared by beloved speaker, author, and spiritual leader Martha Creek. It only takes a few minutes with Martha to realize that she speaks from her heart to yours. A humble and humorous public speaker, a student and teacher of life, an innovative leader, a servant-hearted team builder, Martha is fair, conscious, practical, efficient, joyful, honest, generous, and as loving a soul as you will ever meet. As a speaker, Martha provides opportunities for her audience to experience the power of living from their own truth and realigning with their divine nature by engaging them with ease, humor, insightful questions, personal experiences, transparency, and passion.
- A deeply restorative Sound Bath experience with Vernice Reyes. Vernice (Vinnie) is a dynamic spiritual practitioner, creative visionary, and mover of vibration. She is a living testament to divine alignment and soulful expression. For the past nine years, Vinnie has immersed herself in the transformative art of sound healing through singing bowls. She believes deeply in the science and spirit of vibration. Her sound sessions are designed to break up energetic stagnation at a cellular level, restoring harmony to both mind and body.
