CCSL Classes
It has been said that "Life is a classroom and we are all students." Religious Science International (RSI), through its member churches, offers you an opportunity to enroll in a series of accredited classes that will empower you to transform your life . . . for the better! In 1926, Dr. Ernest Holmes authored the classic textbook SCIENCE OF MIND. The ideas are based on universal principles taught by masters from every age. The premise is simple: we live in a spiritual universe which responds to our deepest thoughts and feelings. In essence, our thinking creates our experience.
The dynamics in the Science of Mind (SOM) classes offer fertile ground for growing new ideas. Each SOM class takes on an energy of its own which stimulates the individual's mind. Through lectures, discussions, and workshops, the student learns how to personalize the same metaphysical principles used by spiritual masters throughout history. Join our dynamic, life changing classes! Discover the full power of your mind, body and spirit, and your connection to everything in the world around you.
As you realize the power within you to live your dreams and deepen your connection to Spirit, you will create for yourself, a greater vision which will take you to a greater life. In addition, you give yourself the gift of making new and lasting friendships with like minded people who share your spiritual path.
Current Class Offerings:
A Course In Miracles Study Group
The new Course In Miracles Study Group will meet on Monday, May 4th at Kathy Plasse's home in Columbia on the first Monday evening of the month (there are exceptions for calendar conflicts, check the CCSL Calendar.
According to Marianne Williamson in A Return To Love, The Course In Miracles seems to have a basic message: relax. Marianne states, "As I began reading the Course and following the Workbook exercises, I could feel almost immediately that the changes it produced inside of me were positive. I felt happy."
