UNITY OF NEW ZEALAND

Building Community, Deepening Spirituality, Transforming Lives.

Oprah, Maya Angelou and Unity

Maya Angelou, a celebrated poet and author, speaks to Oprah Winfrey about Unity. In this powerful talk she emphasises what role Unity played in her life, her spiritual enlightenment, the power of words, love and positive thinking. Unity resonates with Angelou's messages of hope, self-empowerment, and universal connectedness, highlighting the shared quest for inner peace and community upliftment.

Unity is a way of life and teaches, “How to think, not what to think” giving people the opportunity to follow their own spiritual path in a loving, accepting and nurturing environment.

How Unity Started

Unity is a cornerstone of the New Thought movement, inspiring some of the world’s most influential thinkers, including Maya Angelou, Wayne Dyer, Betty White, Florence Scovel-Shinn and Marianne Williamson (just to name a few).

Founded in the late 1800s, Unity began when Myrtle Fillmore cured herself of tuberculosis through Christian principles, Somatic Body spiritual practices and prayer. Her husband, Charles, adopted her methods, and together they created a movement that has reached millions globally.

Known for its teachings on healing, prosperity, and spiritual awakening, Unity continues to offer timeless principles that resonate across generations, encouraging individuals to live with faith, purpose, and an elevated consciousness. Its legacy of spiritual transformation remains vibrant and relevant today.

Our Next Sunday Service – 30th March 2025

Join us for a sacred morning of prayer, study, and worship as we gather in divine presence.

8:30 AM – 9:20 AM | Bible Study Class: Exploring the depths of mystical and metaphysical scripture together.
10:00 AM | Sunday Service – The Mystical Garden of Gethsemane.

In The Mystical Garden of Gethsemane, we enter not just a place in history but a sacred space within us—a threshold of transformation where the old self surrenders so the new can arise. This is the alchemical crucible of the soul, where we wrestle with our deepest fears, resistance, and longing for divine alignment. Just as Jesus prepared for resurrection through prayer and surrender, we too must embrace our own inner Gethsemane, allowing Spirit to refine us, transmute our burdens, and prepare us for the awakening of new life. This sermon will illuminate how to navigate this mystical process, turning our struggles into sacred preparation for resurrection and spiritual rebirth.

Online and In-Person. Address is: Lakehouse Arts Centre in Takapuna. Online via the Blue Button at the top of the website page.

Palm Sunday & The Path to Resurrection

A Mystical Journey
📅 13th April 2025. 10am New Zealand time. Online and In-Person.
Palm Sunday marks the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, but beneath the surface lies a profound metaphysical truth—the journey of the soul toward its highest realization. This sermon weaves the celebration of Palm Sunday with the deeper spiritual themes of Holy Week, leading into the mystery of Easter. We will explore how Christ’s path mirrors our own spiritual evolution, from the joy of revelation to the necessary release of the old self before resurrection. How can we walk this path in our own lives? What illusions must we surrender to step into our divine identity? This message will prepare hearts and minds for a transformative Easter experience.

Meet The Team

Unity teaches how to think not what to think.

Māku e kii atu, he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.

This beautiful Maori proverb translates to “What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.” It is what we at Unity aim to embody in all that we do.
