This Sunday
Upcoming Guest Speakers
Casey Wicker
Licensed Unity Teacher
Sunday, 3/22 @ 10:00am
Sunday’s Topic: Let’s Go Fly a Kite
One with the presence of pure being, I lift my thoughts beyond any challenging situation and see anew. “Up where the air is clear,” the landscape of possibilities is open to me and I write a new story.
Casey Wicker is License Unity Teacher, a cultivator of joy and Truthseeker at heart. When she’s not on the stage of Carnegie Hall (OK that was a once in a lifetime opportunity), she is passionate about seeing the extraordinary in the every day. She has the ability to see the connectedness between the interesting assortments of life one can easily overlook. She is creative, thinks outside of the box and can find the sacred morsel of manna in experiences that many would abandon as undesirable. Her guest speaking engagements have included churches such as Unity Palo Alto, Unity Palo Alto and Unity Palo Alto. You too can request Casey as a guest speaker at your next Unity service or spiritual event. She can be contacted at cwicker@unitypaloalto.org
Rusty Gaillard
Speaker | Transformational Coach
Sunday, 4/19 @ 10:00 am
As a speaker, career coach and life coach, Rusty helps others achieve more freedom and balance in life.
A Stanford MBA and successful leader at Apple for over 13 years, Rusty was certified as a Life Mastery Consultant in 2018. Having navigated many of his own life transitions - promotion, demotion, starting a business, divorce, parenthood - Rusty has learned that how we react to life’s events matters more than the event itself. He believes that each of us is far more powerful than any circumstance we are in. By connecting with our unique strengths, we can grow in any experience and find the freedom to live our best life.
Rusty believes that we each have far more capability and potential than we realize. That living our best lives makes the world a better place. That no dream is too big. And it is his dream to help you realize yours.

With my dreams and visions taking root in fertile soil, I focus my energy on tending and cultivating my highest good.

The Universe is teeming with bountiful gifts and blessings to share with me, and I am worthy of receiving them!

I behold a world rich in opportunity.
ver 2.1
with Rev. John Riley
With Rev. John Riley and music by Margo LeDuc and the Unity Palo Alto Band.
Change exists in every moment of life. At times I move effortlessly with the change, and at times, I struggle. Knowing the dynamic energy of Spirit is always at work in my life, I remain calm, poised, and confident. Aligning with divine mind, I embody infinite patience and quickly adapt to and recover from change. I am resilient!
