Unity on the River, Amesbury, MA
Barbara Parton of the Amesbury, MA area has dreamed of bringing the Shim Sung , or, ‘Finding True Self’ workshop to her church community ever since she first participated in the workshop in August of 2005. On June 17 & 18, 2010, her dream was finally realized at the Unity on the River Spiritual Center of Celebration when six people participated in the first Shim Sung workshop held at the church.
The Unity movement is a “New Thought” movement in which God is everywhere present, especially inside of each of us, and fondly referred to as “the presence.” This concept resonated with Barbara immediately when she came to Unity in 1999. It was when she took the Shim Sung workshop six years later, however, that she actually could “feel” this presence and “know” that it was so. For her, it brought together the concept with the bodily sensation, and she knew she wanted to bring this experience to others in her community.
The link has now been made, with 6 participants whom experienced this connection with their “true self” at the workshop held last month. It

was an combined effort of three holistic yoga and healing centers in Northern Massachusetts. The Dahn Yoga Center in Andover, MA, provided the trainer, workshop know how, volunteer staff, and materials. The Roots to Wings Yoga and Healing Center in Byfield, MA, provided more volunteer staff, and advertising help. The Body Prosperity Center, Barbara’s studio, in Amesbury, MA, provided all logistical planning, and organization of the event. Barbara shared, ‘A new outreach triangle is born! Together we are reaching out to help others reach in and discover their true selves.” She plans to organize more True Self workshops offered at the church, with the help of the newly formed trio of partners.
Volunteer Staff came from Dahn Yoga, Roots to Wings Yoga, and the Body Prosperity Centers, all in Northern MA
The Mission of Unity on the River is to “….Celebrate the Presence and Awaken Humanity to it’s Divinity.” The True Self workshop is this mission in action. Please watch for further news on when the next one will be held, hopefully in October of 2010.
