the Center for Spiritual Growth
located in the Good Shepherd
Montessori School
(formerly the First Christian
Church)
Our Mission
The Center for Spiritual Growth
is dedicated to recognizing,
honoring and nurturing the
dignity, uniqueness, and oneness
of all peoples.
We
seek to inspire transformation
through the devoted practice and
teaching of universal spiritual
principles.
Our intention is to reveal the
underlying perfection and
harmony of the Universe through
prayer, meditation, education,
and music.
Our Purpose
As a
spiritual center our purpose is to be a safe environment for individuals to
realize that they are unique expressions of God, the Divine Source of Love and
Life.
We
embrace our oneness with God, and we consciously practice this truth in our
everyday lives.
Through
learning and living, we nurture individual and community transformation.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
