Emotional and Spiritual Maturity in Real Life

-


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.

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...

The One Thing That Can Set You Free—And It’s Not What You Think

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...
