Introducing the Unity Spirit Team
If you love Unity-centered events or just want to get more involved in our Unity community, the Unity Spirit Team needs you! Spirit Team members will post information online and in their communities about the workshops and retreats happening on our beautiful 1,400-acre campus. Best of all, for each event you help promote, you will receive free admission to an event plus a discount on meals and lodging.
Sign up for the Unity Spirit Team to help spread the word about the workshops and retreats available at Unity Village. All you need is a printer and a Facebook account to get started. Then you are on your way to receiving free admission to a Unity Village event of your choice!

What You Need to Do
Ministers at participating churches receive one Spirit Team pass for each Unity Village event. To volunteer for the Spirit Team, contact your minister or spiritteam@unityonline.org. (Be sure to provide us with your name, the name of your minister, and the event you wish to promote.)
Note: Ministers are free to ask for volunteers or to choose Spirit Team members from their congregations.
All Unity Spirit team volunteers need to have:
- A digital camera (a phone camera is just fine).
- A Facebook account.
- Access to a printer.
- Transportation.
To receive your free admission and discounted meals/lodging, you need to:
-
Print and trim a minimum of 60 event flyers (total) or three event posters and distribute them to at least three locations in your community. Suggested locations include Centers for Spiritual Living, organic/health food stores, yoga studios, spas, health clubs, community centers, music stores, bookstores, coffee shops, gift shops, boutiques, libraries, cafés, schools or colleges—in short, any place spiritual seekers are likely to frequent.
-
Photograph the materials at the locations and share on Facebook. Join the Unity Spirit Team Group on Facebook and post your photos to the wall. You can also share your experiences and any tips you have with other Spirit Team members on the group page.
-
Print and arrange for flyers to be distributed with your church or center’s weekly service bulletin. Work directly with your minister or the appropriate contact at your church.
-
Post online before the event at least twice. Comment, link or share about the event on your blog, website, personal Facebook page, or Unity church Facebook page—or any site where spiritual seekers are likely to gather. Just be sure to tag your post with @Unity.

Parties of 10 or more who register for any Unity Village retreat or workshop automatically receive one free admission—in other words, buy 10 admissions and the 11th is free.
