Gloria Alvarez

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, I spent most of my career working with special needs children, a role that filled my life with meaning and plenty of unforgettable moments. I’m now happily semi-retired and enjoying life with my husband, family, and friends. When I’m not traveling or hiking, you might find me at a comedy or Broadway show or on the pickleball court.

I’ve been attending Unity on and off for about 30 years, and what keeps bringing me back is its beautiful simplicity. Unity gives me a wonderful toolbox of practical spiritual ideas that helps me grow, stay grounded, and (on my best days!) become a kinder, more compassionate human. It’s a place that reminds me not to take life or myself too seriously, while still growing spiritually along the way. If you ever see me in the café and feel like chatting, please come and say hola we can share a cafesito and a treat.
