Revitalize Your Spirit this Wednesday with Rev. Russ Legear

Are you in need of a midweek mental boost? Ready to unwind, connect, and expand your consciousness? Look no further! Our Wednesday Evening Service is the perfect sanctuary for those seeking solace, inspiration, and an intellectual feast for the mind. Every week, we come together to enjoy freshly baked bread, cookies, and soothing tea, all served in the warm embrace of our art-lined social hall.

An Oasis of Comfort and Insight

Imagine sinking into plush couches or settling into cozy chairs, surrounded by captivating artwork that sparks thought and contemplation. Our community space is designed to be your oasis of comfort, where you can unwind, engage, and reflect at your own pace. The ambiance is inviting and casual, setting the stage for open hearts and open minds to converge.

Guided by Vision and Values

At the heart of our Wednesday Evening Service is a loose but intentional structure that draws inspiration from Global Vision, spiritual values, and our themes of the month. This fusion of ancient wisdom and contemporary insights creates a rich tapestry of learning and growth. It's an opportunity to explore, discuss, and challenge your understanding while embracing the unity of shared values.

This Week's Speaker: Rev. Russ Legear

Rev. Russ boasts an impressive background, with a Master's Degree in Consciousness Studies and a Certificate in Ministerial Education from the esteemed Holmes Institute in Golden, CO. As if that's not enough, he also holds a Bachelor of Letters and Science degree from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh.

Rev. Russ isn't just a scholar; he's a catalyst for transformation. As one of the founders of Cityside Spiritual Community in Chicago, he has breathed life into the teachings of New Thought, sharing his insights and wisdom through impactful classes and talks. With a passion for the Science of Mind teachings, Rev. Russ is committed to evolving and expanding New Thought through experimentation, practice, and an insatiable curiosity.

A Fusion of Knowledge and Wonder

What sets Rev. Russ apart is his ability to seamlessly blend modern psychology, philosophy, and discoveries from neuroscience into his teachings. His talks are a dynamic synthesis of age-old wisdom and cutting-edge insights, creating a unique perspective that resonates with both seasoned seekers and those new to this journey of self-discovery.

Beyond the Pulpit

But Rev. Russ is not confined to the pulpit. You might find him strumming a mean tune on his electric guitar when he's not guiding others through New Thought principles. He's also an avid adventurer, often disappearing into the wild on off-the-beaten-path trails, connecting with the universe in its purest form.

Join Us This Wednesday!

Rev. Russ Legear joined our ministerial team in July 2021, bringing fresh energy and profound wisdom to our spiritual community. Don't miss the chance to be in the presence of this captivating speaker as he delves into this week's theme. Mark your calendars for this Wednesday's Evening Service ā€“ a sanctuary for your soul, a playground for your mind, and an invitation to transform your week.

We look forward to sharing in this enlightening experience with you at 7 pm at the Center

Pre Solstice Reflection and Renewal with Dr. Edward Viljoen

By
The Winter Solstice Ceremony: A Time to Release, Reflect, and Renew As the year's longest night approaches, we invite you to a special Winter Pre-Solstice Ceremony this evening at the Center for Spiritual Living. This annual gathering is a sacred opportunity to pause, reflect, and release what no longer serves us as we prepare to welcome the returning light. In the warmth of community, we will honor this ancient rhythm of nature and engage in a beautiful ritual of releasing. Together, we'll take a moment to write down what we wish to let go of and offer it to the fire, making space for new visions, intentions, and hope. Our service will be a time of quiet strength and reverence, guided by reflections on the flow of life, even during the cold and uncertain seasons. We will embrace the stillness and the promise of renewalā€”a reminder that even in the deepest darkness, something greater is moving within us. Come as you are. Bring your hopes, burdens, and willingness to let go and t...

Accessing Our Archive of Goodness - Wednesday Evening Service with Russ Legear

By
  I remember when I was kid, I loved walking through my school's library. It felt like a place filled with limitless possibilities, each book holding a new idea, and sometimes, a new world. Even that musty paper smell that can only come from thousands of books fills me with joy every time I think about it. Our mind is an incredibly powerful instrument. It, too, holds the power to create new ideas, and even new worlds. My mind has been an invaluable tool on my spiritual journey, even though it wasn't always that way.  This Wednesday Evening Service at 7pm, we will explore just how powerful our minds can be when approached with the right spiritual techniques--cultivating the ability to embrace emotions of joy, happiness, and love no matter where we are or what's going on in our lives.  I'm using my mind right now to envision each and every person in our Social Hall enjoying community, creativity, and the beauty of Christopher Frtizsche's voice and guitar--and it feels...
