Center for Spiritual Living Midtown

Beyond The Veil explores how fear can act as an invisible barrier that prevents individuals from reaching their full potential. Using the game show Let’s Make a Deal as a metaphor, the speech challenges listeners to consider whether they will choose stagnation, play it safe, or embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with courage and faith in themselves. Through the inspiring story of motiva...

“Love Lifts Us Up Where We Belong” and it’s a not-so-subtle reminder that we are not meant to be bogged down in the problems and mundane situations of life. As spiritual beings we are meant to soar, to be overcomers, to fly high.

In a world experiencing an epidemic of loneliness, the glorification of violence and the resulting crisis of faith, how can we believe in love? Through an authentic and unflinching look at how we feel God has failed us. Our broken heart opens four doors to a divine and transformative experience revealing how we can find love right now, when we need it the most.

As spiritual beings, the truth of us is that we are the essence, expression and experience of love. But the fact of us may appear as very different. What gets in the way? Our rules, our stories, and sometimes even our shadow. We are invited, encouraged and even challenged to show up as love—what keeps us from doing that in every situation, and is there a way to return to love?

A group of monks cloistered in a monastery have much to teach us about living on purpose….and what do undergarments have to do with it? The power of intention is the focus of today’s lesson and what can happen when we move away from our choices.

Whether it’s brushing our teeth, repeatedly checking the news, or enjoying an after-dinner cocktail, we all have various daily habits—good or bad! The truth is that our habits matter more than we think—we can consciously choose ones that support our spiritual well-being. Can a short daily habit really change your life? Let’s talk about it!

In these rapidly shifting times, our communities are changing. Who do we become when our foundational relationships change? Doubting your place and God’s purpose for your life can either be the next powerful step in your spiritual evolution, or the internal fracture that impacts your resilience and strength. Extract the gifts from this very important doubt, and move toward the authentic power that...

The most dangerous thing in most spiritual communities isn’t heresy. It’s the performance of certainty by people who stopped believing years ago and never told anyone. This talk breaks that silence. Bring your contradictions, your collapsed frameworks, your faith that no longer fits the old container. The Divine isn’t threatened by your doubt. The only question is whether we can finally stop prete...

Many of us learned that spiritual maturity means presenting the confident self—the peaceful self, the faithful self, the “I’ve got it together” self, the “It’s All Good” self. Yet our lived experience tells a fuller story. Alongside clarity there are questions; alongside faith there are moments of uncertainty. This week’s theme invites us to “debut the doubting self.” But perhaps the deeper invita...

Self-doubt is one of the most universal human experiences, and often one of the most hidden. As we open our monthly theme of Divine Doubt, this talk explores how self-doubt, when rejected, can lead to disconnection, but when embraced with awareness, can become a powerful starting point for growth. Through the lens of Religious Science, we’ll look at how thought shapes experience and how bringing c...

Quite often, we speak of love as a fleeting feeling, but what if love were not a fleeting feeling, but a daily practice that offers a chance to reveal who and what we truly are? How often and what would it mean for us to practice love as a sacred path to our true divine revelation? Are you ready to revamp, renew, and reapply a more powerful, authentic, and divine form of love? 

Live – Laugh – Love Turns out money can’t buy Happiness.

When we live from our heart we begin to realize we are not separate, we have a divine connection. The universe doesn’t care about our achievements, what we call our successes. The universe cares about our heart, and how well we have loved.

Easter comes to us at a time of the year when we are seeing renewal in nature. What about the renewal within us? If you put yourself into the Easter story from a metaphysical perspective, we ask what is the nature of the stone that keeps you entombed? Like Jesus, that stone cannot continue to hold me back.

Norman Vincent Peale coined this term, describing an approach to life that focuses on what is possible, rather than obstacles, fostering resilience, creativity, and a feeling that all good is possible. We know that our thoughts are creative, but do we allow Spirit to do the work in creating our most amazing life, or do we get involved with ideas of lack, limitation, IMpossibility, and “yes, but…”

Oh, how we love to fantasize, dream and talk about how we’d change the world “if only…” everything outside of us would only change first! Today, we’re deep diving in to the basics of spiritual law and how the creative process works. It all seems so straightforward when we hear or read about it.  So, why do we have such a difficult time putting it into practice?  Guest speaker and musical artist Re...

Have you ever felt spiritually clear and connected, only to wonder later where that feeling went? In this talk, we explore the dance between the ego’s story of “I had it, I lost it” and the deeper truth of our being. As we release conditioned identities and rest in present-moment awareness, we discover something profound: what we are seeking was never missing. The Self we truly are has always been...

Am I making my own choices to create my life, or am I giving Race Mind the control? 

Our Global Vision is “Awakening humanity to its spiritual magnificence in a world that works for all.” Do we really mean that? Do we have any idea of how to put feet on that vision, to manifest it into the every day lives of all? What if we did know? What if the doorway to the answers we are seeking is right now, available? What if we had the courage to live it onto reality? 

Have you ever been on silent retreat and emerged seeing the world in a different way?   What does it mean to step into the mystery of life, to stand on the edge of what is known and trust that all is unfolding in perfect divine right timing?  Within the creative process, there is a space which holds the mystery of how things will unfold.  We can connect with our deepest innermost selves in silence...
