Rev. Margie Hyatt was raised in a Presbyterian church experience. After leaving the church of her childhood as a young adult, Margie “stumbled upon” metaphysics.  Two decades later she discovered Unity, whose teachings reflected the spiritual credo that had grown through twenty years of metaphysical study and practice. Margie began the journey of ministry as the spiritual leader for Unity of Bremerton, WA. In 15 years of service and membership at Unity Church of Hawaii, she has served as pastoral intern, volunteer coordinator, membership and election teams coordinator, as well as associate minister to Sky St. John and Jack Bomar, interim co-leader in 2020 - 2022, and continues as part of the ministry team as a volunteer. Margie has also offered leadership and ministerial support to Unity Windward, Unity of Kona and Unity Ajijic (MX). Margie’s spiritual intention is to light the path to lifeʻs game-changing discoveries: the Light we seek is already a flame present within us; we are the essence of the Divine; we are here for a sacred purpose, and all of life is a conspiracy of Universal Love guiding us to exactly what our soul desires. Her intention for Board of Trustee service is to support church management and leadership functions evolve to mission-based focus and support Rev. Tim’s vision for our community.

In this time, she has married, raised two children, obtained a doctorate in psychology, developed a private practice specializing in autism, and experienced her husband\u2019s transition. She attributes her successes in these endeavours to Unity Principles and is happy to now be able to give back to the church that has supported her so long. She brings to the Board her psychological understanding, skills in interpersonal problem solving, an ability to understand and provide intelligent feedback in most administrative areas, and an ability to organize and make sense of large amounts of information. In addition to her current profession, she has been a writer and editor of a management psychology newsletter and a high school English teacher and librarian. She hopes\u00a0to work on moving away from a focus on leaders and toward a greater focus on our mission: manifesting our oneness.

Aloha! I have been attending Unity Church of Hawaii for over 27 years. I was married here in 1995 and joined the membership with my parents in 1998. I was active as a volunteer in the office and in Twice Blessed for a few years, then spearheaded with a team the program "Conversations That Matter" for over three years. I have completed all of the SEE and Leadership classes and have attended numerous workshops and other classes over the last 17 years. My spiritual journey has led me to become a Prayer Chaplain as well.

My history with the church has been quite a journey and now I feel we are at a turning point towards increasing oneness with the Integral Ministry and the Beloved Community at our fingertips. I am excited and eager to serve on the Board with Rev Tim, where I can offer up compassion, integrity, honesty, and faithfulness. My history as a Casting Director should come in handy too! Mahalo!

It has been my honor and privilege to serve thus far in this educational and spiritual commitment, and I wish to continue to contribute, as best I can, to our church’s and our movement’s mission.  As a fully retired UC Berkeley clinical professor and senior lecturer of 40 years and an administrator of an academic teaching clinic and two private practices, I have gained some insights and skills that I believe are relevant, but most importantly, I have the free time and passion for spiritual growth and service.  I’ve been a Unity member for 12 years, 3 of which I served at UCOH.  I served on the Minister Search Committee, which brought Rev. Tim back and was recently chair of the Minister Evaluation Committee. I continue to serve on the Youth and Family Ministry Committee, the Space Committee, the Practical Evolution Committee (formerly Strategic Planning), and Rev. Tim’s Deeper Dive Wednesdays at 5.  About once a month I usually guide camera 2 under Sean’s expert direction.  Well-versed in Unity history and principles, I am excited about serving at the leading edge of our movement’s growth into Integral Ministry and Quantum Living.  Retirement also gives me time to study, write, ballroom dance with my wife, and walk closer in communion with Spirit.  We are only here for God.
