About CSL First City Teaching Chapter

Intention Statement & Executive Summary

CSL (Center For Spiritual Living)  First City Teaching Chapter (CSLFC) is dedicated to merging the profound teachings of Ernest Holmes and other visionaries with various healing modalities to extend our impact beyond the walls of a conventional Center. We emphasize integrating the experience of grief with CSL Grief Life Circles©. Heal our trauma with Adult Children of Alcoholics® and Rev. Carol Wilke’s Heart, Mind & Spirit Recovery®. Expand our oneness and raise our vibration with an accredited Science of Mind curriculum to forge strong connections within our community. Knowing the Spirit BEYOND us, the Spirit BESIDE us, and the Spirit AS us is always for us and never against us. As CSL First City, we acknowledge the soul’s call to commune with others in expanding more of our capability to love and to be of deep service. CSLFC is an affiliate of the larger Centers for Spiritual Living non-profit organization.

Vision: CSL First City ignites personal growth and supports healing as a Beloved Community in St. Augustine.

Mission: CSL First City guides self-discovery and transformation through classes, workshops, and support groups.

Purpose: CSL First City has been created to foster inclusion, and exploration through diverse disciplines, empowering individuals to address personal growth and release what no longer serves them to evolve to their highest selves.

Spiritual Counseling: Our one-on-one counseling sessions with our Spiritual Director guides individuals in applying Science of Mind principles to their lives.
