Our parent organization, Centers for Spiritual Living, provides education that transforms lives, igniting the potential of each individual to connect with their True Self and to apply and express love, and facilitates personal and global stewardship, healing and connection. Their mission is to continuously create a profound, professional, and provocative curriculum with emphasis on the consciousness as embodied and taught by Dr. Ernest Holmes. They produce curriculum that includes the practices of Spiritual Mind Treatment, Meditation, and Visioning, and is consistent with the philosophy of Science of Mind, while reflecting ageless wisdom and exploring new ideas from modern science, quantum physics, and psycho-spiritual approaches to Truth.

Foundations of Science of Mind is the entry-level class in the study of the Science of Mind and is the suggested prerequisite to all other classes. You will be introduced to the basics of the Science of Mind, Meditation, Spiritual Mind Treatment, Visioning and other Universal Spiritual Principles and Practices.

Each week will consist of the exploration of spiritual principles and spiritual practices that support those principles. You will learn to use the creative process as well as powerful and practical tools to “change your thinking, change your life” and you’ll experience this adventure with like-minded people from all over the world.

In addition to reading and writing exercises each week, there are guided meditations and exercises to assist you in applying, embracing and incorporating Science of Mind Principles in your own life.

The American voice in Self-Reliance and The Oversoul has influenced the New Thought movement profoundly. Emerson is quoted by all the great metaphysical writers, and he was the first to break through traditional Christianity in such a way as to inspire multitudes to higher thought.
