Exploring Spiritual Study at the Center

Meditation cam be sitting in silence. It can also be movement, breath, sound, stillness—all of it. It’s a gateway to clarity, calm, and deeper awareness. And it’s not one-size-fits-all. Meditation is More Than You Think is an eight-week journey through the many forms of meditation. You’ll explore guided meditation, sound baths, breathwork, movement, and more. Each session gives you hands-on experience so you can discover what truly works for you. Whether you’re new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this course offers tools you can use for a lifetime. This isn’t theory. It’s practice. You’ll learn, experience, and integrate meditation into your daily life in a way that feels natural and effective. By the end of the course, you won’t just understand meditation—you’ll live it. Thursdays, March 6 – May 8 • 6 to 8:30 pm  On Zoom Cost: $200 (Discounts and scholarships available) Register now and transform your practice.

  Everywhere we look, there are lines—us vs. them, right vs. wrong, belonging vs. exclusion. Society teaches us to sort, label, and separate. But what if real belonging isn’t about choosing sides? What if it’s about something deeper? Belonging Without Othering: How We Save Ourselves and the World is an invitation to step beyond division. This book study will explore how we can recognize our shared humanity while honoring our differences. It’s about moving beyond fear, beyond judgment, and into a space where connection is possible—even in a world that often feels divided. Together, we’ll discuss what it means to truly belong without making others “the other.” We’ll unpack the patterns that keep us stuck and explore what’s possible when we shift our perspective. You don’t have to read the book to join—just bring your curiosity, your heart, and your willingness to engage in a meaningful conversation. This isn’t just a study. It’s a step toward something bigger. Toward healing, toward...

Most of us walk through life carrying things we don’t even realize are weighing us down. Old wounds, buried fears, moments we never fully processed. Trauma isn’t just something that happens to “other people.” It happens to all of us, in different ways. And it shapes how we think, feel, and move through the world. Maybe you feel stuck in patterns you don’t understand. Maybe anxiety or overwhelm creeps in at the worst times. Maybe relationships feel harder than they should. The truth is, trauma isn’t just something from the past—it lives in the present, in the body, in the mind. But here’s the good news: It can also heal. Understanding Trauma in Ourselves is a three-part class designed to help you recognize how trauma affects you—and what you can do about it. You’ll learn simple, effective tools to foster healing, build resilience, and move through the world with more ease. You’ll gain insights rooted in both psychology and spiritual wisdom, all in a safe, supportive space. You don’t ha...

Holding on to anger is like carrying a heavy weight that never lets up. It drains your energy, colors your thoughts, and keeps you stuck in the past. You replay old hurts, expecting them to change, but they don’t. The only thing that changes is you—more tired, more bitter, more trapped. Forgiveness isn’t about letting someone off the hook. It’s about letting yourself off the hook. In his upcoming class on forgiveness, Dr. Edward Viljoen will break down what forgiveness really is—and what it isn’t. You’ll learn how to release the resentment that’s holding you back. You’ll discover a process that brings real peace, not just forced smiles or empty words. And you’ll see that forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting, reconciling, or excusing bad behavior. It means freedom. This class is about taking mindful, easy, gentle action. You’ll dig into real-life struggles, reflect on what’s keeping you stuck, and take steps toward healing. You’ll walk away with tools you can use immediately—simple, pow...
