Member: United Centers for Spiritual Living

Coming soon: integration with International Centers for Spiritual Living

Welcome! 

Welcome to the Center for Spiritual Living in Olympia, Washington.  We are a diverse, affirming, global New Thought community that welcomes all individuals wherever they are on their spiritual journey.  Our sister spiritual communities in the area include the Center for Spiritual Living Seattle (Seattle, WA), Center for Spiritual Living E-side (formerly  in Bothell, WA), Center for Spiritual Living Tacoma (Tacoma, WA), Northern Lights Spiritual Center (Tukwila, WA), Genesis Global Spiritual Center (Des Moines, WA/South Seattle, WA), Amazing Grace Spiritual Center (Seattle) and Sequim Church of Religious Science (Sequim).  We are a member of the United Centers for Spiritual Living, soon to be integrated with the International Centers for Spiritual Living when we will become simply, Centers for Spiritual Living.  

We support individual and global transformation through New Thought/Ancient Wisdom teachings, seeing God as the infinite possibilities and potential within each of us.  

We believe that each of us expresses this fabulous Presence to the degree that we are awake and aware of It.  So we can experience richer, more joyful and satisfying lives if and when we consciously choose to do so.  Simply put: Change your thinking.  Change your life!

Our Mission Statement:   Our mission is to co-create a diverse, loving and Spirit-led community dedicated to individual and global evolution and collective growth through service, study, fellowship, music and play. 

Our Vision Statement:  We are co-creating a community that radiates our individual and collective Passions, Power and Infinite Possibilities as unique, Divine Emanations of God, the Love-Intelligence of the Universe.  We support personal and global transformation through Love and Service, and knowing our Oneness with God, welcome and embrace a rainbow of diversity.
