We are delighted to have Lesia D. Kohut as a presenter at the Resilience In Times of Uncertainty conference Sept 18 - 20th in Nanaimo, BC. REGISTER NOW! EARLY BIRD PRICING EXPIRES SOON. www.cslnanaimo.org/conference

Rev. Dr. Lesia Kohut is a Soul Excavator at heart, devoted to unearthing the beauty, harmony, and Love that is the essence of all...even in life’s messiest moments. Guided by her Why, “Empowering the conscious awakening of humanity so that together, we can cultivate a global community founded in Love, “ transformation is Rev. Lesia’s way of being.

A former pastry chef and self-professed grammar hound, Rev. Lesia is a New Thought minister with a doctorate in consciousness studies, a 9D Transformational Breathwork Facilitator, and an award-winning author. Her book Soul Excavation: An Exploration and Discovery of Self Through Fear, Failure & Quantum Physics reflects her gift for turning challenge into opportunity, trauma into expansion.

When not tuning into new potentials, you’ll find Rev. Lesia challenging herself at the gym, baking gluten-free treats, enjoying live jazz, or doing what can only be called sacred research—sifting through a good Apple TV or Netflix binge for New Thought nuggets and gems (because apparently even streaming has something to teach us)...while deeply appreciating her husband Glenn, daughter Mylana, her cats Mercury and Yuzu, and her ever-expanding Fluevog shoe collection.

We are delighted to have Thomas DeSchutter as one of the presenters at the Resilience In Times of Uncertainty conference.

Rev. Thomas DeSchutter came to Unity the long way around — raised Catholic, walked away in his late teens, and spent the better part of three and a half decades quietly seeking what he didn't know was missing. At 53, an encounter with A Course in Miracles brought him back — not to religion, but to something more honest than what he'd left.

He now serves as Senior Minister of Unity Vancouver Island, leading three communities across Nanaimo, Victoria, and Comox Valley. He is also a member of the Unity Canada board of directors.

His teaching is grounded, direct, and built for people who have seen enough of life to need more than inspiration — people who want something that actually holds. He draws on Unity and New Thought metaphysics, the 12 Powers, and the work of Eric Butterworth, with a particular commitment to honest inner work over easy answers.

Rev. Thomas believes the path back to wholeness doesn't require you to have it figured out. It just requires you to stay present to what's actually here.

What does surfing have to do with finding peace? Enjoy
Amanda's latest blog post.

I love the quote by Jon Kabat-Zinn:“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” I’ve been reflecting on this a lot lately as I’ve been preparing for our conference and sharing a series of talks on resilience called Learning to Surf. This quote feels especially relevant right now....
