Classes, Workshops and Book Study Group

There are many accredited classes offered by the Centers for Spiritual Living, which provides all the related materials for group study.

CSL Anacortes offers classes, workshops, and book study groups as requested by our congregation to further our study of the Science of Mind.

Here is an overview of the educational and spiritual growth opportunities offered at CSL Anacortes:

Classes
We offer accredited classes from the Centers for Spiritual Living to deepen the study of the Science of Mind. These are scheduled based on interest from our members and visitors. Recent offerings include Foundations, Self-Mastery, and Treatment and Meditation.

Workshops
We host workshops that align with our purpose and support personal growth, healing, intuition, and mindfulness. Past topics include “Ways to Meditate” and “How to Create a Vision Board,” alongside guest presentations on chakras and environmental awareness.
