As a staff teacher at Unity Holistic Wellness Center in Raleigh, NC, Sharri facilitates workshops on meditation, mindfulness, holistic wellness practices, the Yoga journey and creating a spiritual practice.<\/p>\n<p>Sharri&#8217;s spiritual journey has been shaped by a quest for answers to life&#8217;s profound questions: who are we, why are we here, who is God? This quest led her to the study of world religions, New Thought metaphysics, mystic paths, and indigenous wisdom from North and South American cultures. The primary influences in her spiritual life are the teachings of Joshua ben Joseph of Nazareth (Jesus), the meditation practices of Raja Yoga and the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. Harmonizing western and eastern spiritual philosophies and practices has been a particular passion for Sharri.<\/p>\n<p>Four years ago she became aware of a certain stagnation and emptiness in her spiritual progression. That&#8217;s when she began reading <em>The Urantia<\/em> <em>Book. <\/em>Ever since, she says that nothing less than a cosmic and progressively radical shift in her concepts of God and humanity&#8217;s origins, history and destiny has been in play in her life. Through involvement in online study groups, courses and in-person conferences, Sharri continues to deepen her understanding of what she has come to know as &#8220;the 5th major Revelation&#8221; to our planet Earth, or Urantia, since humankind has been capable of self consciousness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Register Today!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/sharri-gaines-revelation-to-humanityan-introduction-to-the-urantia-book-tickets-821734579247?aff=oddtdtcreator\"><strong>Register today at Eventbrite<\/strong> <\/a>to join us in this transformative exploration of <em>The Urantia<\/em> <em>Book<\/em>.
