Unity Village

Unity Village is like Heaven on earth. So beautiful and peaceful. And everyone we came in contact was simply lovely. I did not get to see everything but do recommend a daytrip there. I am considering a retreat there.

Beautiful setting and really nice people.
I conducted my daughters wedding here and they worked with us so well.
Beautiful place to take family pictures and if so inclined worship.

I was here for a Ladies’ Church Retreat a few weeks ago and was blown away by the beauty of this campus. I“m not a Unity Institute follower, but iwalked around during our «quiet time» on a Saturday morning and it was a great place to meditate and take in God’s beauty, no matter what your religious (or non-​religious) preferences. There are various prayer chapels that were open to the public on a Saturday. The architecture is Italian Renaissance, there is a rose garden, a prayer garden and lots of fountains. It would be a beautiful place to have a wedding and I saw a few photographers taking senior pictures.
The icing on the cake is there is a coffee shop and bookstore where our own fellow Elite Unilocaler Sara D. works on Saturdays. i’ve always wanted to come see this place and I would recommend to anyone. It’s a beautiful, serene place.

Everything went well and they did everything I asked, but they didn’t have the fountains working or construction done one time which I guess is not their fault, but they said it would be done and it wasn’t for my wedding day. I didn’t get any pictures with fountains in the back ground which is mostly why I booked them for my ceremony. After all this they didn’t even try to offer some sort of apology or reimbursement. They also didn’t turn down the lights during the ceremony that was in my file. All in all it was pretty good.

I have my Oneness Blessing group here every Thursday. I’ve driven by it a kajillion times, not ever driving into the grounds. It seemed daunting to me. I was wrong.
Okay, there’s a restaurant that is mostly vegetarian. I’ve not eaten in it cause of my work hours, and working from home, I’ve not had a chance yet. Apparently it is open on Thursdays… ugh, I have no idea. Wanting to try it so bad. I’ll update this when I do. There’s a hotel, a rose garden and then the bookstore.
The bookstore: Ekhardt Tolle, Sonia Choquette… and on and on… Very large, and worth checking out.
This is the headquarters for Unity Village, and it’s grounds are breathtaking. I’ve seen alot of photographers doing what I think are senior pictures. Before one of my Thursday night meetings, I saws a family of deer in the front lawn. It is so beautiful, and uplifting.
There’s fountains, trails, a pool for members. I’m not a member as of yet. I forgot to ask at the bookstore about that. Being a member allows you to use their pool. My oneness Blessing meeting is in the clubhouse, and I drive by the pool. It is clean, friendly, well kept, and sits among trees and trails.
I don’t attend church, and have never attended a congregation at the Unity Temple. They have alot of conventions there, and as I said, a hotel. They have speakers and groups that meet there. The hotel can be used by people who are members. I learned this from the guard, who actually offered to show me around.
Unity temple and it’s grounds are meditative and contemplative. Beautiful! I’d like to take my DSLR there and take pictures.

Fantastic place. As a photographer, I just love walking around taking pictures of my clients in and around the property.
There is a lot of open space, as well as fountains, wide arching doorways, and easy access to it all.

Okay, I’ve said it in a previous review and I’ll say it in this one too… this place rocks my socks off!
As a photographer this place is almost a dream come true. I hadn’t heard of it until a client of mine suggested it and I immediately fell in love when i pulled up.
It’s a small religious campus with great buildings and backdrops. There are several fountains — many of which were sadly under restoration last time I was there — that make for a great backdrop as well as a wonderful sound.
They do small weddings out on the small bridges over their fountains I believe.
The doors make for great photos, as well as the awesome arched hallways that make great shadows!

We had the privilege of visiting Unity Village on Wednesday.
This is the home of Unity Institute, the theological seminary for one of the world’s foremost New Thought churches. This is where the «Daily Word» is published, for many people the gateway publication to discovering New Thought.
After a choir reception, a film presentation, and a Q&A with the Dean of the Institute and the President of the Association of Unity Churches, we were given free rein to explore the grounds. My Lady and I spent most of our time in the archives, where the founders’ offices and original theater are preserved, and at the Silent Unity Building.
The campus reminded me a little of Stanford University.
