The Essential Ernest - to be announced

Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) was an internationally renowned teacher of religious psychology, a beloved scholar, mystic, and prolific author, who founded the entire Religious Science movement of Practitioners, Ministers, churches, and teaching centers. He believed in a religion that was hopeful, practical, democratic, and all-encompassing, and built around a practice of prayer in which one ―prays the answer instead of the problem.‖

The Essential Ernest Holmes is the first UCRS course to delve into all of Ernest‘s writings, feasting on his quiet, devotional writings as well as his impassioned, chalk-in-hand teachings to future leaders. His love of people and facility for seeing past their problems into the heart of their eternal being anticipates modern psychology, while relating the human condition to a limitless ability to choose what to think and how to feel. His ear for poetry and his profound mystical vision merge in the Farer‘s quest toward The Voice Celestial. In the collection called The Holmes Papers, he clarifies fine points of Religious Science teaching, relates its (and his own) fascinating history, and traces New Thought ideals back through the centuries to humankind‘s earliest religious sentiments.

Be prepared for animated discussion on some fairly controversial material on topics like addictions and sexuality, plus deliberately provocative questions for class discussions, taken from some occasions where Ernest seemed to contradict himself.

Foundational Class is a pre-requisite for this class.  Tuition is $220 and Rev. Kristin is the facilitator for this 10 week class.  It will meet from 6:45-9:45pm at Namasté.
 

Visioning – To Be Announced
 
Visioning is the practice of opening to God as you. It is “catching” the Divine Idea for your possibilities and it allows you to transcend limited thinking and to align with Divine Wisdom. Visioning is a form of co-creation to expand life’s potential. It is the natural outgrowth of maturing in God consciousness and is about becoming, not about doing— it is about the “What,” not the “How.”
 
During this 8 week class you will learn the process of visioning, and have an opportunity to practice in many areas of life … your life purpose, life’s work, health and well being and prosperity. 
 
Visioning, taught by Rev. Sunshine Daye, will meet on Monday evening from 6:45 to 9:45 at our Center in Long Beach.  The class runs 8 weeks.
 
Visioning is open to all who have completed the Foundational Class.  The cost of the class is $160.  Payment options are available.  For more information contact the church office at (562) 980-7610 or email Rev. Sunshine at RevSunshine@NamastePlace.com
