The coursework is designed to integrate the ideas and principles in The Science of Mind text into your daily life. Let us know if you need childcare in order to take this class. Contact Rev.

Yoga Nidra translates to “Yogic sleep.” Although the goal is not to sleep during Yoga Nidra, you will be lying down and deeply relaxed throughout the process. Four zero gravity reclining chairs will be available for those who are not able to lie down on a Yoga mat. Please reserve ahead of time. Participants are encouraged to attend the entire six-week series to gain a firm understanding and foundation in this practice, but drop-ins are welcome.

Our dear Emma was the “teacher of teachers,” the woman who taught the founders of Unity, Divine Science and Religious Science. She was the woman who invented the term “Science of Mind®,” back in the 1890s. She healed hundreds and taught thousands, using her own line of reasoning and upward vision that empowered her. In this class, both her principles and practices will be made clear. The book is Unveiling Your Hidden Power, with twelve lessons in the Science of Metaphysics, which are powerful ideas with living meanings. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself quoting Dear Emma for months afterwards! Contact the office at 221-4849 about scholarship opportunities. Download the flyer.
