M.A.G.I.C. is a 90-minute experiential workshop that explores conscious creation as a practical process of becoming. Using the framework Mindset, Awareness, Generate, Intentional Action, Create, participants will identify something they want to create in their lives, become aware of the beliefs and stories influencing their current experience, intentionally generate a state that supports who they are becoming, and leave with a specific action that begins creating evidence of that new identity. The workshop is interactive and grounded in principles that align with the Science of Mind teaching that consciousness is creative and that we can become more intentional participants in our lives.
Benefits: Participants leave with a simple, repeatable practice they can use to bring greater awareness, intention, personal responsibility, and aligned action into everyday life. As individuals practice these principles together, the VCSL community benefits from people who are increasingly conscious of the stories they bring into relationships, more intentional about how they show up, and more willing to turn spiritual understanding into lived experience. Benefits the world: When people become more conscious of who they are being and intentionally choose courage, compassion, love, service, and meaningful action, that change doesn’t stop with the individual. It moves into families, relationships, workplaces, communities, and ultimately into the world.

About Priceless Pricing
Priceless Pricing is a VCSL process designed to grow consciousness. The things we value most in life– virtues such as love, abundance, respect and more–all come without a price tag. The growth we experience via spiritual learning in community is also priceless.
Priceless Pricing starts when we ask class participants to commit to their spiritual growth, as well as the growth of the class’s consciousness. This establishes a vibration of mutual support. In the final class of any series, we ask people to turn within, ask Spirit to guide them regarding an amount to donate, then offer this donation in the spirit of shameless generosity.
Priceless Pricing helps us make classes accessible for everyone while we maintain the fiscal integrity of our Center. It helps us understand we are all on this spiritual journey together. We create a microcosm of the world, where people work together in love and support. May our shared practice bless all beings.
