Messenger, 22nd December: Susie Cortault
Topic: “Peace”

Susie was a career social worker and therapist, working in mental health and emergency work. She is also a graduate in Art History and has an M.A. in Art History from Sussex University. In 2012 she was ordained as an Interfaith Minister with One Spirit Interfaith Foundation and has been an independent celebrant ever since. She conducts funerals, baby namings and weddings and has become very involved with the running of the Unitarian church in Brighton where she lives. She leads services in Brighton and loves the very popular solstice and equinox celebrations. She is also on the pulpit rota for chapels in the south east and regularly visits Ditchling, Horsham and Hastings. She loves interactive services in which the congregation is able to contribute and share; she loves the worship element of services and is part of the Irregular choir (called this because we do not meet in a regular way!). She believes singing together is a real joy. She is kept busy with three adult children and five grandchildren ranging from 2 years old to 18.

Messenger, 29th December: Stacy Makishi
Topic: “How can we go there together?”

The ancient Hawaiians often swam great distances as a community together. When a person grew weary, the others would circle around, allowing them to float and rest in the hands of loved ones. Lomilomi - was the massage the Hawaiians practiced giving and receiving, as they made their long journey together.

Has 2024 left you needing some loving kneading? Are you ready to welcome 2025? Join us at New Unity for some love, aloha and lomilomi.

Stacy Makishi is a transplant from Hawaii. Like a bonsai plant, Stacy is small, but old. She has been making art for over 40 years. The Village Voice said: Makishi's work "is as complex as it is accessible; humorous as it is challenging; visual as it is literate." Stacy believes in art’s transformative power and strives to put more 'aloha' into the world.
