Center for Spiritual Living St. George

It has been a grand and glorious summer here at Center for Spiritual Living St. George. I am so thrilled to be a part of what is emerging here in our community.

I’ve just returned refreshed and uplifted from our summer retreat at Asilomar, a beautiful facility on the Monterey coast. It is a deeply meaningful place for our entire movement as this annual retreat has been held here for over 70 years. To be in this place with over 500 other Religious Scientists was a powerful and moving experience. And I’ve come to realize that this is an experience that we can have at any time in any place because it is about the consciousness we bring with us to each location.

This month, we are focusing on our relationship to our home – our beautiful planet, Earth. September brings an end to our summer and a time of physical change for much of our planet. The natural cycles of release occur for most of our plant life – leaves turn different colors and fall, produce is harvested, grasses turn brown and brittle. Animals begin to prepare for the coming winter. And we find opportunities to celebrate this change.

Our theme for this September is based on one of the 10 Prophetic Justice Principles: Ensuring the Stewardship of Our Planet, and the quality we are focusing on this month is Love. This month we will look at our relationship to Mother Earth and the ways this is manifested through a deep love for our home.

I look forward to being with you all throughout this coming month.
