Exploring Spiritual Study at the Center

Growth begins by asking the right questions. Self-inquiry is a powerful tool. It may not offer instant answers. What it does offer is a space where clarity can emerge. The purpose is to uncover the wisdom already within you. In Self-Mastery through Self-Inquiry , you’ll learn to use reflection as a spiritual practice to create space for truth to rise to the surface. This kind of awareness builds trust in your own inner guidance. As that trust deepens, your relationship to challenges begins to shift. You become more grounded in what matters. You make decisions with intention. Inquiry becomes a way to align your life with the quiet knowing at your center. The course meets Mondays, July 1 through August 19, from 6 to 8 pm. Join us online or in person at the Center. Taught by Edward Viljoen, with guest teaching from Rev. Russ Legear. Registration is now available at www.cslsr.org .

Maturity is about staying awake, especially when it’s hard. There’s a quiet strength that comes from knowing yourself. Not just the roles you play or the emotions you feel, but the values you live by and the presence you bring to each moment. In Self-Mastery through Self-Inquiry , we delve into what it means to cultivate emotional and spiritual maturity. It’s a practice. One that includes honesty, accountability, compassion, and resilience. You’ll learn tools for navigating challenges without losing your center. You’ll reflect on what triggers you, what heals you, and what helps you return to your deeper Self. Over time, the habits of reaction give way to thoughtful response. And that, too, is self-mastery. The course runs from July 1 to August 19, on Monday evenings from 6 to 8 pm, either in person or online via Zoom. Taught by Edward Viljoen, with guest teaching from Rev. Russ Legear. Registration available at www.cslsr.org .

Some rules were made to be rewritten. Especially the ones you didn’t know you were following. Most of us live by silent rules. Be successful. Don’t fail. Stay in control. Look good doing it. We didn’t necessarily choose these rules; they were handed to us by family, culture, and experience. What if we could choose differently? In Self-Mastery through Self-Inquiry , we take time to look at the “game” of life we’ve been playing. What are the hidden rules? What are we trying to win? And is it actually working? This course invites you to redefine the game as an evolving journey toward wisdom, creativity, and deeper fulfillment. Join us Mondays, July 1 through August 19, 6–8 pm, online or in person at the Center. Taught by Edward Viljoen with guest teaching from Rev. Russ Legear. Registration at www.cslsr.org.  Questions?

Discipline is about staying in relationship with what matters most. In spiritual practice, the word 'discipline' is often  misunderstood. It can sound like control, restriction, or pressure. But at its heart, discipline is about devotion. It’s the steady return to something you value, again and again. In Self-Mastery through Self-Inquiry , we explore discipline as a form of spiritual kindness. It gives structure to our growth, by choice. When discipline is rooted in love rather than pressure, it becomes a powerful way to align your outer life with your inner truth. We begin to show up with more presence.  We speak more carefully.  We take time for reflection.  Over time, this steady rhythm reveals something more profound, an inner strength that doesn’t depend on circumstances. The class meets Mondays, July 1 through August 19, 6–8 pm, in person or online via Zoom. Taught by Edward Viljoen, with guest teaching from Rev. Russ Legear. Registration at www.cslsr.org...
