12 Noon – 1:30 PM via Zoom – WORKSHOPS COMPLETED

It is our pleasure to share a long-held tradition in the Science of Mind teaching, to start the new year by going back to the beginning of the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes, to review the basics of our philosophy.

We’ve chosen our favorites in six topics, over six workshops. The topics (The Thing Itself, The Way It Works, What It Does, How to Use It, Spiritual Mind Treatment, The Principles of Successful Living) provide powerful cornerstones of the philosophy.

The workshops are free, take all six, or join when you can. Gift yourself the interactive, contemplative, and deeply life-changing sessions presented by CSL Practitioners.
