Align with the One Universal Source

Get well grounded in your own personal relationship with Universal Source, and be able to guide others.

The text entitled “The Science of Mind: a philosophy, a faith, a way of life” (The Definitive Edition) by Ernest Holmes is the focus of this in-depth course for lifelong learners and difference makers alike.

  • The basic spiritual principles underlying Science of Mind, and how to conduct a prayer treatment.

  • How to utilize the textbook that is considered the definitive text for Science of Mind Practitioners.

  • Practices to enhance your own meditation and spiritual prayer for an expansive experience of living.
