What's The One Thing You Carry Everywhere?
You move to a new city, start a new career, or reach a new milestone, yet your core sense of "self" remains. It is the great human anchor: we are always evolving, yet we are always ourselves.
This Sunday, we are exploring a perspective that turns this constancy into your greatest source of power.
The Power of the Observer
Most of us define our lives by things that shift: bank accounts, job titles, or physical health. We feel the tension when these things change because we’ve anchored our identity to them.
There is a part of you that is unbreakable.
At our Easter celebration, we are diving into three "Easter Mindsets" designed to shift your internal gravity. You will learn to identify with "The One Who Watches," the enduring part of you that remains steady even when the world around you is in motion.
The Practical Benefits of an Easter Mindset
This is a practical, spiritual "re-tooling" for your daily life. It is an exploration of ideas that offer immediate relief and clarity. By the time the service ends, you will have:
A Deep Sense of Belonging: A metaphysical framework that connects you to the "Sacred Whole," providing a grounded sense of place in the universe.
True Emotional Resilience: A way to hold life’s transitions, including loss and grief, within a larger, more hopeful story of continuity.
The Freedom of Presence: The ability to fully inhabit your life as it is right now, experiencing your existence as a gift rather than a task to be completed.
Whether you are a lifelong seeker or visiting a spiritual community for the first time, this message is designed to meet you where you are.
Welcome
We invite you to "try on" these mindsets and experience the shift for yourself. See how they open up new possibilities for your week ahead.
Join us this Sunday, April 5th.

Welcome to the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa Youth and Family Ministry.
We
are a safe, joyous, inclusive, loving, and happy space. Our mission is
to guide and support our youth on this incredible journey of divine
discovery and personal creativity.
By using simple principles and practices from our Science of Mind teaching, we facilitate an understanding of the creative process and children’s role in this process. Our program empowers children to define their life purpose, hopes, dreams, and realize more freedom. We help them remember that they are whole, perfect and complete, just as they are.
Youth Programming happens every Sunday between 11 am and 12 noon.
In
each of our four rooms we strive to incorporate spiritual practices in
an age-appropriate manner. We may do candle lighting, prayer,
meditation, yoga, and reading of stories aligned with the Center’s
monthly theme.
Nursery – Birth to age 5
Elementary Grades – ages 6 and up
Middle School Grades – through age 12
Teens – Ages 13 to 18

Our Volunteers
We have a dedicated team of
trained volunteers to work in our youth programs, with each member
bringing a great deal of experience with youth. If you would like to
join our team, please contact Jennifer Caldwell, Youth and Family
Coordinator (see below).
Teen Program
Our Teen program is live! Your teens
are welcome to join our Teen Group every Sunday at 11 am during the
second service. We use the time to connect and support each other as we
work together on our spiritual paths. We may eat together, watch movies,
read a thing or two, do some artwork, play games, and plan community
service.
We are inclusive. This means that we accept you for who you are and who you are not. We have no secret agenda for you. We will work together to make the world a better place where everyone belongs.
Teen Camp
Twice a year, Centers for Spiritual
Living teens and teen group advisors congregate for a week-long
overnight teen camp, one in the summer and one in the winter. Teens who
are interested in camp should come check out our Teen Connect group.

Youth Education
Aside from our weekly offerings
on Sunday as well as our Teen program, youth ages 13 to 18 are welcome
to register for our educational programs at the Center at a discounted
rate. Click here to see what is currently available: https://cslsr.org/education-calendar/
Parent Support Group
We are actively working to
create a meaningful way parents can come together in community and
support one another. More to come soon!
Not ready to dive in just yet?
We provide four easy, safe, and fun ways for children and parents to be part of our Sunday services:
(1) Children are always welcome to attend service in the Sanctuary with their parent(s) or guardian(s). There are coloring sheets available in the Social Hall.
(2) For the youngest, 4 years and under, we have a Nursery where you and your little ones can spend time together or children can stay with nursery attendants.
(3) We have a large TV monitor in the Social Hall where accompanied children can play and enjoy their time together while adults watch or listen to the service.
(4) We have a small room where families can sit and view the service and not be worried about any of the natural noises children make.
I love to connect with families and youth. Email me below if you have questions or are interested in volunteering with our Youth and Family program.
