Unity World Day of Prayer at Unity Village

Registration is open!

Unity World Day of Prayer will be in-person at Unity Village in 2025!

Register today to participate in this sacred 24-hour prayer vigil.

This year’s affirmation is:

In the stillness, I awaken to divine wisdom.

Speakers

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Tracy Brown, RScP, author of I Turn to Prayer and I Still Turn to Prayer will be the keynote speaker for the World Day of Prayer Opening Ceremony.

Dr. Tracy Brown has three passions: inclusion, spirituality, and ... roller-skating.

Her latest book, released earlier this year, is I Still Turn to Prayer. It is her second collection of affirmative prayers. And she is working on her next book, Inclusive Churches, as a follow-up to the book Stained Glass Spirit: Becoming a Spiritual Community Where Oneness Does Not Require Sameness.

Other speakers through the week include the leaders of the Unity Prayer Ministry, Revs. Maggie Alderman and Kathy Beasley, along with Trayce Riley.

Musician

And there's even more to look forward to as we welcome Rev. Kit Holmes as musician and speaker for the retreat.

By any measure, Rev. Kit Holmes’ musical gifts alone are extraordinary. But it is the sheer volume of her additional talents, creativity, and authenticity that explains the adulation she regularly receives from audiences, clients, and peers for her keynotes, classes, coaching, and retreats. She has been sharing her gifts in New Thought spiritual communities around the United States since 2004.

She is an ordained Centers for Spiritual Living minister and a certified transformational life coach. She’s also a grateful “recovering perfectionist” who uses her recent experiences as a breast cancer and divorce survivor as a teaching tool to help people rediscover their innate wholeness after significant loss.
