Things to know about joining a CSL Virtual Circle
Your camera should be on
We are all participants, and this is a safe and sacred place. Having your camera on is expected as part of the trust involved. You may turn your camera off to excuse yourself—putting a quick note in the chat is a great way to let your host and technician know that you intend to return. When you return, please put your camera back on.
Everybody shares
Sharing is part of the way we build trust in a group. You may refrain from sharing your first time but thereafter you can expect your host to invite everyone into the conversation.
The CSL Virtual Circles follow these guidelines for sharing
-
Practice active listening, to really hear other people, and to benefit from their sharing.
-
Keep all sharing in the Circle confidential.
-
Share from your own feelings and experiences. Do not comment on another’s sharing or give advice.
-
KEEP YOUR SHARING SHORT. This allows everyone time to share if they choose to do so.
-
Wait until everyone else has had a chance to share before asking to share again.
-
As sharing begins, center yourself in love and compassion.
-
Be aware of the precious gift you are being given when someone has the courage to share.
-
Make the space for sharing without categorizing what you are hearing as positive or negative, good or bad.

Nicola Archibald, RScP
Nicola became a Licensed Centers for Spiritual Living Practitioner in 2024 out of a deep desire to live her spirituality as a daily practice. After living with chronic pain for over 25 years, she was drawn to the Science of Mind philosophy, whose values align with her lifelong spiritual curiosity, belief in a shared connection, and faith in the Divine.
As a practitioner, Nicola believes in creating a life that works for everyone, in walking each other home, and in a shared connection through One Mind, One Power, and One Presence. She is inspired by Science of Mind as a practical philosophy that integrates New Thought wisdom and spiritual law into accessible, everyday tools for conscious living.
After stepping away from a 30-year career managing large-scale technology projects in the public safety sector, Nicola now devotes her professional life to service as a Licensed Spiritual Practitioner and Life and Wellness Coach. Her work focuses on supporting and empowering individuals as they navigate health challenges, significant life transitions, and the call to live more authentically.
Nicola lives on Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam, British Columbia with her husband of 32 years and their two cats. She is a lifelong learner with an MBA, a Project Management Professional (PMP) designation, diplomas in Project Management and Marketing Management, and supplemental training in Psychology, Life Coaching, and Compassionate Listening. She enjoys meditation, cultivating meaningful connections, and building community.

Maryellen Haddock, RScP
Maryellen was fortunate to have a very eclectic background with friends and relatives across many faiths. Raised Protestant, she attended various churches and always maintained a personal, direct connection with God.
As an adult, she didn’t attend church regularly. After her husband died, a friend introduced her to a Center for Spiritual Living. From the moment she entered, she felt like she was home. She was drawn to the teachings of Ernest Holmes and Science of Mind, and began taking classes right away. She became a CSL Practitioner in 2017 and has been in service ever since.
Her core belief is we are meant to be happy, joyful, and full of life, and it is up to us to consciously create the life we want—there is only One Life, and we are all a part of that One. Her mission is to help people realize they have the power within themselves and that, with God, all things are possible.
She holds a Master’s of Education in Special Education and her professional career spans education, technology, and customer service. She is currently an administrator at the YMCA. Within her CSL community, she has been in charge of technology, served as a board member, hosted a Spiritual Living Circle, and currently teaches various classes and workshops.
She has three sons, six grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren, and lives part-time with her granddaughter. She enjoys golfing, traveling, attending the theater and symphony, visiting art museums, and spending quality time with family.

Catherine Snider, RScP
Catherine joined CSL Boulder Valley in 2013 when she realized how much she needed the help of a spiritual community in living the principles she believed. The music, the message, and the heartfelt fellowship she found there made a profound impact and inspired her ongoing commitment to foster that same enriching experience for others.
She completed Practitioner training in the summer of 2022 and currently serves as Board President of CSL Boulder Valley. Her work is grounded in the conviction that thought and word shape experience, and she is dedicated to supporting individuals in discovering the divine light within themselves.
Catherine has just completed a book of devotional readings inspired by early New Thought writers, making their insights and ideas accessible to the modern reader. She loves creating spaces where spiritual exploration and discovery can take place. Catherine recently retired from a local university where she served on their web team in both creative and technical capacities. Bringing her skills and training into service at CSL Boulder Valley has been a deeply fulfilling expression of her commitment to spiritual growth and community support.
Catherine lives with her partner near Boulder, Colorado. In her free time, she enjoys photography, sewing and exploring the mountains in a 4wd.
