Our Story
Unity Ajijic began as the dream of Rev. Johannys Jiménez‑Hartog and her husband, Jack Hartog, and has blessed the Lake Chapala area since 2021. With the encouragement and support of James Twyman (Franciscan Monk, Episcopal Priest, and owner of Namaste Village) and Rev. David McArthur, Unity Ajijic was born.
Rev. Johannys and Jack guided, nurtured, and grew Unity Ajijic until March 2026, when they — along with the Board of Directors — appointed Rev. Penni Honey as Senior Minister.
Our Leadership
Rev. Penni Honey, a self‑described “seasoned minister,” has served in multiple capacities in large Unity churches across the United States, most recently as Senior Minister at Unity Flagstaff in Arizona. She now resides full‑time in Ajijic, Mexico.
Rev. Penni also serves as Co‑Spiritual Leader of Namaste Village alongside James Twyman.
Ordained in World Religions/New Thought in 2010 and again in Unity in 2021, Rev. Penni brings an eclectic background that ranges from commercial construction management to children’s choirs. Rev Penni is supported by a Board of Directors. The Board is committed to being guided by the New Thought teachings of prosperity and the Five Unity Principles as well as being good stewards of all that we are blessed with.
What Makes Unity Ajijic Unique
Not only do we have one of the best spiritual community music programs in the Lake Chapala area (you have never experienced The Peace Song like you will at Unity Ajijic!), we also host a Minister in Residence program throughout the year — bringing in top‑notch Unity ministers from across the United States and Canada.
Combined with Rev. Penni’s speaking experience and the rich local talent of Religious Science ministers and retired Unity ministers, Unity Ajijic is sure to ground your soul while lifting your consciousness. and YOU will have fun doing it!
And Community? Oh, We’ve Got Community
From all walks of life, all backgrounds, all stories.
Just stepping into our Sunday Celebration is a delight to the senses — the beauty of Namaste Village, the warmth of its residents, and the welcoming hearts of the Unity family create the gentle beginning of your soul’s next journey.
Join us. Experience Unity Ajijic. And as Rev. Penni likes to say:
“We’re OPEN every Sunday!”
See you at 12 noon CST at #5 Ángel Flores or on Zoom. And if you can’t be there, catch the upload of the Sunday Celebration and music at: youtube.unityajijic
