ACS Q&A on July 7 at 1pm

Advanced Consciousness Studies (ACS) is a 27-week dive into beliefs, values and presence. Offered by CSL Santa Rosa on Zoom beginning Thursday evening, September 19, this course is open to anyone desiring a deeper exploration of and engagement with the teachings of Science of Mind. A call to becoming a practitioner is not necessary though completion of ACS is a prerequisite for the one-year Professional Prayer Practitioner Studies course. The course is also open to individuals outside the Center for Spiritual Living Santa Rosa.

Course Content

This course invites you on a journey toward what it means to practice the Science of Mind and to be both fully human and fully divine. Term One focuses on your hidden beliefs and how your life got to be the way it is. Term Two suggests ways to incorporate Science of Mind principles and practices into your daily life to create the life you desire. Finally, Term Three explores what it means to embrace all of life.


Two Textbooks for the Course

  1. The Science of Mind, by Ernest Holmes

  2. The Ernest Holmes Papers, compiled by George P. Bendall (replaces Living the Science of Mind)

In addition, in the third term, students will read some chapters in This Thing Called You by Ernest Holmes. You may be able to borrow a copy from a friend or your local library

Tuition

For the 27-week course, including a one-day retreat: $825 if paid in full or $855 if paid in 4 installments. All students pay a $100 deposit when accepted into ACS. Full payment is due by September 9; those paying in installments make payments by the second class of each term. The first term balance due is $185; the payment is $285 for the second and third terms.

Here are some comments about the course from 2023-24 ACS participants:

  • “YES! I would encourage a friend to take ACS because it is better than therapy! It looks at a lot of things I had not considered before…companioning a dying person…how my buttons can get pushed…and a new definition of vulnerability.”

  • “My individuality was welcomed and encouraged; and there wasn’t much if any ‘busy work’.”

  • “I would encourage anyone to take this class who is serious about it. They would need to know that it is challenging and at times difficult, but well worth it.”

Reading as Spiritual Practice

  Spiritual Study is one of the five spiritual practices here at the Center. But did you know that it isn't reserved simply for spiritual books?  I believe that reading is one of the most amazing, joyful, and enlightening spiritual practices around. Any reading--whether it is a self-help book or classical literature or a cozy mystery or, my favorite, science fiction and fantasy. Heck, even a great cookbook can bring about a spiritual experience! At its core, a really good book--no matter the genre--does something powerful within our mind. It sparks our imagination . And imagination is such a vital tool as we cultivate more compassion, love, and joy in our lives.  That's why I'm really looking forward to our Sharing Our Books event tomorrow, where you can come and peruse all the books our community has generously donated. We have every genre you could imagine. And best of all, you don't have to bring any books to partake; you can take as many books home with you as you l

Who Am I All The Time? The Spiritual Practice of Reflection

I am passionate about "The Spiritual Practice of Reflection The Spiritual Practice of Reflection ," the two-hour workshop I will facilitate on Saturday, September 14, 2024, from 10:00 to 12:00. Through several guided explanations and exercises with mirror work, the Principle of Oneness became clear to me. Now, I practice it daily, incorporating it effortlessly yet mindfully into my routine. When I first came to The Center, I thought spiritual practices had to be formal and set aside for specific times each day. While they can be, I found this difficult. Through mirror work, I realized that I could feel and know I was one with the Divine each morning as I got ready for work. My intention for this workshop is for participants to discover that they, too, can carry out the spiritual practice of reflection as they prepare for the day. Nearly everyone has access to a mirror and uses it to finalize their appearance before leaving. What we see reflected is superficial, but this works
