with Cinder Shine | Sunday, July 27 at 11am
“Turn your wounds into wisdom.” — Oprah Winfrey
What happens when life hands you a diagnosis—and you choose joy anyway?
This Sunday, we welcome the luminous Cinder Shine, whose life was transformed when metastatic cancer grounded her—but couldn’t defeat her spirit. Rather than dwell in fear, Cinder returned to songwriting and joy, choosing to live each day as a radiant act of rebellion against despair.
In her talk, Terminally Smiling, Cinder shares the spiritual practices, humor, and fierce gratitude that transformed a terminal diagnosis into a testament of abundance and aliveness. She reminds us that positivity isn’t about denying pain—it’s about creating space for beauty even in the midst of it.
We’re also thrilled to welcome special guest soloist Sonnet Simmons for her first appearance at UnitySF! With a voice that bridges soulful pop and divine inspiration, Sonnet’s music adds a melodic heartbeat to our spiritual celebration.
Join us this Sunday for a service full of laughter, tears, music, and deep spiritual truth. Your spirit will thank you.
