The Teaching

What Is Science of Mind?

We honor every religion and all paths to God. We believe every life is sacred, and that each of us is on a spiritual journey leading, in time, to our greatest good.

Our teaching draws on the Science of Mind, written by Dr. Ernest Holmes. Holmes taught that the universe is created by an Infinite Mind, and so we remain “open at the top” — always ready to welcome new wisdom as it’s revealed through art, science, and religion.

Alongside the Western Bible, we look to the Tao and other sacred texts as living resources for spiritual truth.

Our Community

Everyone Belongs Here

The Center celebrates and welcomes diversity. We believe every person holds equal value in the eyes of God — regardless of religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other label the world uses to divide us.

What Is the Center for Spiritual Living?

Center for Spiritual Living Fort Lauderdale is part of Centers for Spiritual Living, a global organization of 488+ centers worldwide, founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes in the early 20th century.

Holmes believed a single thread of truth runs through every great religion and philosophy, and he set out to draw that thread free of superstition, dogma, and opinion. From it he shaped the principles he called the Science of Mind — the teaching we continue to live and share today.

To be spiritual is to be present to the beauty and wonder of Life. I am a spiritual being having a human experience.
