In the midst of turmoil, we may long to change the world. We may long for peace. But what if the most enduring peace begins with what you are doing now? What if sustainable peace happens through how you live in every moment?
Earlier this year, a group of monks walked from Texas to Washington DC to inspire peace. “Walk for Peace is a simple yet meaningful reminder that unity and kindness begin within each of us. It can radiate outward to families, communities, and society as a whole….” (Bhikkhu Pannakara).
We can follow the example of the walking monks without walking thousands of miles. Using principles from Gandhi and other mystical teachers, using principles of peace and paradox, we will support each other as we cultivate our own personal, profound, metaphorical peace walks.
The peace to bless all beings starts with each of us. And so it is.

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
Facilitated by Rev. Jennifer Gadberry-Hadrys
Hybrid: 4 weeks, May 19-June 9 (Tuesdays) 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Fee: Priceless Pricing (donation)
A CSL Accredited Course
This course explores the principles and practices of Science of Mind with an emphasis on the use of daily Spiritual Mind Treatment . Combining the principles of Science of Mind and the practice of Spiritual Mind Treatment offers a dynamic training opportunity for students to engage in Intentional Manifestation, and allows them to heal, overcome challenges, and change the conditions of their lives and the lives of others.
For the books for the class participants can choose between Built on Faith: Transform Your Life Through Affirmative Prayer by Rev. Lezli Goodwin or FIVE STEPS TO FREEDOM: An Introduction to Spiritual Mind Treatment by Rev. John Waterhouse. Before the first class, it would be ideal for participants to have read the first chapter of either of these books. Both books are fantastic, cover all the bases, and are slightly different in tone and flow.

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.
