Co-Creating The World
Embracing spiritual philosophy in a modern world.
Center for Spiritual Living is based on the truth that arises in every culture — in the form of science, philosophy, and religion. We view religion as a source of wisdom for revealing the truth about the seemingly unknown forces that shape our universe. We participate as co-creators with the Divine.
Our centers were founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes, a self-taught philosopher who rigorously studied the world’s spiritual paths for most of his life. In 1927, he wrote The Science of Mind, which synthesized the common truths he found in those spiritual paths. That book is the foundation of our teachings. We are committed to expanding the awareness that we are all One.
