This mastery course from Centers for Spiritual Living replaces the “Advanced Spiritual Living” course. It is a 27-week course and one-day workshop devoted to personal discovery, integrated spiritual practice, community building, and embodied awareness of living the Principles of Science of Mind and Spirit. This course is open to anyone desiring a deeper dive into the teachings of Science of Mind;  a call to become a practitioner is NOT NECESSARY, however this course is the same required course for practitioner studies, and you are welcome to enroll regardless of status. Completion of this course, including the mid-course workshop, IS A PREREQUISITE for the one-year Professional Prayer Practitioner Studies course.

 

Course Overview

• Daily spiritual practice

• At least one paid practitioner session each term
