How to Contribute to Peace Spiritually

By

Join Us for the In-Person World Peace Meditation on Sunday Morning, December 31st at 4 am.

As the year draws to a close, we have a unique opportunity to unite in spirit and intention with people across the globe. The Center for Spiritual Living in Santa Rosa is excited to invite you to our annual World Peace Meditation, a tradition we've cherished since 1986. This year, we're gathering in person for this profoundly meaningful event.

Why 4 AM? A Global Moment of Unity

Set your alarms for an early start on December 31st, 2023, as we meet at 4 AM PST. This timing is significant — it aligns with noon at Greenwich Mean Time, ensuring that as we meditate and pray, we are doing so in unison with people in all 24 time zones around the world. Imagine the powerful energy created when countless individuals across the planet come together at the same moment for a shared purpose — world peace.

A Peace-Filled Gathering of Hearts and Mind 

Our World Peace Meditation is more than an event; it's a global movement of hope, unity, and tranquility. It's a time to reflect on the year that has passed and to set intentions for peace and harmony in the year to come, not just for ourselves but for the world. In these early morning hours, we join our energies with millions worldwide, contributing to a collective vibration of peace and goodwill.

Comfort and Community

In the spirit of comfort and warmth, feel free to come in your pajamas and bring a cozy blanket. Our gathering is informal and heart-centered, emphasizing the comfort and connection within our community. It's a beautiful way to experience the profound calmness and unity that this meditation brings, surrounded by friends and fellow seekers.

A Tradition of Peace

Since 1986, our Center has observed this event, making it a staple in our calendar and a significant moment in our spiritual journey each year. It's a practice that not only brings us together as a community but also connects us with the global community in a shared vision for peace.

Be Part of This Occasion

We warmly invite you to be part of this momentous occasion. Whether you're a long-time participant or joining us for the first time, your presence adds to the collective power of this meditation. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a global wave of peace, setting a tone of harmony and understanding as we step into the new year.

Details of the Event:

  • - Time: 4 AM PST

We look forward to seeing you there as we welcome 2024 with a heart full of peace and a spirit of unity.

You Determine Your Welfare - Special Wednesday "Pulpit-Swap" Service with Dr. Edward and Rev. Russ

By
The idea that you determine your welfare speaks to the Science of Mind idea that well-being grows from the choices we make in thought, practice, and community.  Using the book "Basic Ideas of Science of Mind" as our guide, our Wednesday evenings have been exploring the use of our mind, emotions, and actions, to contribute to our spiritual welfare. This Wednesday, join Dr. Edward Viljoen and Rev. Russ Legear at a special location to continue the exploration.  Some context:  Each year our community makes space for our neighbors at the local synagogue to gather more fully for the High Holy Days. In addition to being a gesture of hospitality, it carries a deeper reminder that our welfare is shaped by the choices we make together.  We, in turn, hold our Wednesday Evening service in their beautiful synagogue and you're invited to join us. Science of Mind teaches that the Creative Power of Life responds to the quality of our consciousness, and through spiritual practice we ...

"Spirit Is An Artist" - Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

By
  Every breath we take, every new friend we make; the tallest snowy mountaintop to the darkest depths of the sea--all is an act of creation. In fact, because Spirit is all there is, that means that we, too, are endlessly creating. Whether we know it or not.  In tonight's Wednesday Evening Service, we continue our exploration of the Ten Core Concepts of the Science of Mind and Spirit with the third--the creative nature of Spirit. We'll share in spiritual exercises designed to grow your awareness of your creative nature so you can tap into it to paint the life of your dreams. And all will be wrapped in an atmosphere of music, freshly baked bread, and loving community.  See you soon! -Russ

How To Be an Instrument for Peace - Wednesdays in July 2026

By
Peace rarely arrives as a single grand event. More my be built from small choices we make in how we listen, how we speak, and how we hold space for one another. This July, five voices from our community offer their own way into that practice, each bringing a different instrument to the symphony. We open the month with Discovering Your Peaceful Voice on July 1, with Dr. Edward Viljoen. Some obstacles to peaceful communication hide in plain sight, disguised as ordinary habits. This talk traces one path toward noticing them, and toward the voice that waits underneath. On July 8, Rev. Siota Belle leads us into Drumming To a Different Beat . There's a rhythm to peace that doesn't always match the pace the world moves at. This gathering explores what it means to find our own tempo, and to trust it even when it differs from the beat around us. July 15 brings Practicing Your Peace with Rev. Russ Legear. Peace as an idea can sound lovely. Peace as a daily practice asks something mo...
