Barbara Thorp, LUT - Licensed Unity Teacher Representative

It seems I was always a spiritual seeker.  Attending whatever church was in my neighborhood, including a Synagogue with my best friend in high school. I found my Spiritual home in 1981, when I attended a service at Seattle Unity.  What touched my heart was the affirmative prayer and meditation.

As a nurse I worked every other weekend, so the midweek programs were important to me.  The first class I took was the prayer class and took it many times before taking it for credit. I served on the prayer team and was part of the first prayer chaplaincy program at Seattle Unity. My first class for credit was in 2001. I became a Licensed Unity Teacher in 2007.

My main passions are prayer, prosperity and connecting with people.

I recently retired as Prayer Ministries Director at Unity in Lynnwood after approximately 8 years.  Currently, I serve a Prayer Chaplain Emeritus and facilitating the Highwatch Team.  My prosperity passion has been expressed through facilitating prosperity classes and enriched by restarting the Keeper of the Light monthly prosperity affirmation and letter, writing it for 7 years ending in 2023.   I am a lifelong learner; eager to learn more to express more of my True self in the world. My husband, John has supported me through my Spiritual journey with great love.  We have two grown children and four grandchildren.  We are abundantly blessed.

I love reading, playing bridge, and knitting as well as Senior Zoo Walking and Water Aerobics.
