Rev. Shirley Geer, minister at Unity on the Eastern Shore, in Fairhope, Alabama, and author of The Source Is With You, will be speaking at Unity in Fort Walton Beach at 10:30 a.m., August 23. Her message, Become an Open Channel, is based on the affirmation, “I am an open channel, through which the healing, prospering currents of God’s life, power and joy are now flowing.”

Geer’s career has included management-level work in several health and social work organizations. She was a certified hypnotherapist in private practice for more than 18 years and was ordained as a New Thought minister in 2000 following 20 years of spiritual study. She has served as minister of Unity on the Eastern Shore for nine years.

Geer says that divine guidance gave her the idea of putting some of her Sunday messages into a workbook for those stumbling on their path to spirituality, just as she had.
