Reflections delivered by Jared Nourse on August 8, 2010.  Jared has been involved at Unity Temple on and off for over 40 years, playing roles from Marwood Camp counselor to junior high teacher, treasurer, Finance Committee chair, adult education coordinator, board member, board president, and Administrator.
 
As much as he has earned his living in the business community, his passion has been for the innner world, with the many challenges and wonders that it affords. This led him to Zurich, Switzerland during a mid-life hiatus where he took the inner journey under the guidance of a Jungian. This experience is at the foundation of this service.  Jared can be reached at jarednourse@yahoo.com.
