Let it Go! - Rev Dr Bob Deen

An odd title for Mother’s Day, I suppose. However, letting go of our outdated and false ideas about Mother and our relationship with our mother is important to our spiritual growth. There are beliefs and attitudes related to our Mothers that serve us well and will do so as long as we live. There are also false ideas and beliefs that many people carry that do not serve us any longer. Letting go – releasing – is a spiritual practice that opens us to the newness of life and allows us to move forward with renewed energy and creativity. Blessing and releasing, turning to new ideas, and even grief are spiritual practices that allow us to release what no longer serves us in any area of life. Join us as we celebrate Mother’s Day with new ideas and tools for the Journey.

The Undefended Life - Rev Dr Bob Deen

We all want to experience greater freedom, more love, rich prosperity, vibrant health, and wonderful work. Doing so requires showing up in the arena of everyday life with courage and vulnerability. True courage requires vulnerability. These Spiritual Principles and Practices enable us to take off our armor and live with freedom and power. We can fully experience being alive with all of its juicy satisfaction. You’re invited to join us as we explore the how.

What Matters Most - Rev. Angela Harmon

Life can be hectic with family, children, work, traffic, running in circles to accomplish a laundry list of “to dos.” Are you moving in the direction that leads to greater productivity, inner peace and balance? Are you driven by the clock or do you act from your core values? Do you know your values?

How we spend our time demonstrates what is important.

The power of living your values is the power to do “what matters most” and create balance in life. The goal is to have a sense of accomplishment. The ability to prioritize your work and play list.

Each has an internal guidance system; a compass which points to our true north. With daily practice, from moment to moment we can achieve the ability to accurately discern the important from the less and not important. Through principled-center living,  we discover, act and live from our values and life unfolds successfully in health, relationships, career, and all areas of value.

The Easter Surprise! -Dr. Bob Deen

The Power of Easter is held in the whole story, not just the happy ending. The truth that Life and Goodness is present and expressing itself in its fullness no matter what appears to be going on around us is one of the lessons of this season. New beginnings are as close as your next breath and quick as your next thought.
Come Easter with us! You’re Invited…

Dancing Down the Cosmos (The Spirit of Rumi) - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Life is a dance of joy, whether it is a river rushing over its rocks, a puppy chasing its tail, or human beings dancing for the joy of life. The design of life invites us freely to dance, held in the spin by love. Come Dance with us! You’re invited….

Spiritual Science: Ancient Guide to Your Best Life Yet. (The Vedas and Upanishads of Hinduism) - Rev Dr Bob Deen

For generations, Ancient Thinkers developed exacting and specific sciences for approaching Spiritual Living. They have much to say today to inspire us to live in the awareness of our unity and the power of One. Their ancient wisdom gives us insight. Our own minds and hearts are the only conscious receivers.
Come Realize with us! You’re Invited….

A Vision of CSL Midtown. Creating Intentional Spiritual Community - Rev. Dr. Bob Deen

The ideas of New Thought are available from many places and resources. What is not available everywhere is the guidance and support for applying these ideas to our everyday lives. Intentional spiritual communities provide support, clarification, and can reveal our blind spots. We provide opportunities for individuals to grow in the fertile soil of others on similar paths who love, honor, and respect one another as expressions of the Divine. Join us as we explore ideas for intentional community and mutual growth.

The Power of Choosing. How to Change your Mind and Keep it Changed! - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Why is choosing so important? How do I stick to my beliefs amid so many conflicting ideas? What steps can I take to bring order and success into my everyday living? A wishy-washy mental attitude creates a wishy-washy life. Today we explore the ways and means of establishing a strong, clear mental attitude that results in strong, clear, and chosen life experiences.

Putting Your Self Out There - Rev. Ursula Lentine

When life seems to be on autopilot, no changes, no growth, same old same old, then it may be time to Put Yourself out there. We are most alive and stimulated when we are doing new things. When we pass on adventures we may feel safe, but we also could be left holding a bag of regrets. Come listen to Ursula tell you her California adventures about facing Fires and mudslides and living in uncertainty day to day. 

Why Should I Trust That Anything Good Will happen? - Rev Dr Bob Deen

In a world that constantly bombards us with fear, doubt, and threats of immanent disaster, what evidence is there that our ideas of Good can still show up in our lives? Faith is not blind but built on insightful understanding of physical and metaphysical science. Today we explore the “why” and “how” of living a joyous, fulfilling life.
