Spiritual Communities

The Centers of Light are loving and dynamic centers for worship, study, and the unfolding of a true brother/sisterhood in Christ. These Centers are diverse spiritual communities of men, women, and children. Young and old, married and single, parents of young and grown children, we are open to anyone who has a sincere desire to join us in spiritual fellowship and growth.  

Some of our members come from traditional religious backgrounds, such as the various denominations of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, while others have had no direct religious or spiritual experience, or have been “seekers” in alternative spiritual practices like yoga, meditation, and energy work.

Although the worldly credentials of our membership may vary -- from doctor, to preschool teacher, to student of microbiology -- what we have in common is the intention to learn to live a life of love. We do this by learning about and following, to whatever extent we are able, the inspiring teachings of the Christian mystical tradition.

What does that look like on an everyday level?
It looks like regular people deciding that peace is more important than their emotional attachments. It looks like communities of successful, professional people choosing love over competition and comparison. It looks like a joyful spiritual family of people who are growing in faith and works.

How does all of this transformation happen?
The common Western practices of prayer, Sacraments, and blessings are joined with the Eastern practices of meditation, self-discipline, and the spiritual instruction provided by dedicated Priests and Teachers. All of these combine to create a recipe for freedom and devotion. Supported by the knowledge of science and psychology, the teachings allow the mind and emotions to begin to be healed, so that more of the true Soul and Self can emerge.
Each visitor or community member can learn at his or her own pace. All are welcome to attend the programs and services to which they feel most drawn. Advanced training is available for those who want to make a significant commitment. Those who are interested in such instruction must apply and be accepted into the advanced training programs.

The mission of our Centers is...
to uplift the world by healing one heart at a time. We are conscious communities shepherded by Teachers and Priests who have dedicated their lives to this mission. Our Centers are places of peace, for the Soul to rest and the spirit to soar. We welcome anyone who wishes to make this dream of human potential in a living reality for themselves.
