Our Organization

The Centers for Spiritual Living (CSL) promotes a philosophy which integrates spiritual truths with science and physics. It was developed in the early 20th century by writer and philosopher Ernest Holmes who wrote, “The Science of Mind: A Philosophy, A Faith and A Way of Life.”. Dr. Holmes studied the world’s religious traditions and the sacred writings of the ancient Greek philosophers to the then present-day spiritual and religious leaders and found the common ideas and spiritual truths in all. CSL applies Science of Mind principles as a force for good in our world and has the vision of “Creating a World that Works for Everyone and All of Creation.”

Centers for Spiritual Living

Based in Golden, Colorado, Centers for Spiritual Living™ is a global community comprised of more than 400 spiritual communities, teaching chapters, study groups and other ministries in 30 countries.

These communities teach a New Thought philosophy that brings religion and science together and offers spiritual tools to transform personal lives and help make the world a better place. This is done through the study and practice of Science of Mind® and Spirit, also known as Religious Science®, which holds that all life is sacred—that each human being is an expression of God.

We believe in Cause and Effect and teach that “it is done unto you as you believe.” In essence, our thinking and expectations create our reality. Our teachings incorporate the ancient wisdom of spiritual traditions through the ages. People of all spiritual paths — Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, and others — are welcome in our communities.

We help people experience a personal relationship with the creator; promote a community of tolerance, understanding and respect; provide classes, programs, prayer and meditation; and advocate a safe spiritual community of like-minded people interested in living a spiritual life.
