Golden Gate Center For Spiritual Living

An intimate church, the GG Center for Spiritual Living is a dedicated group which has been around for decades. Formerly, Church of Religious Science, this very enlightening approach to spiritual growth & development feels so uplifting after any service, wherever you find them, and this is no exception. I became a member of the Seaside Center for Spiritual Living in Encinitas, but have had to travel alot, so I look them up whenever I can. Very sweet & loving community.

I’ve been coming here since 1992 when in early sobriety, I had a bout of tough times. Needing to up my spiritual game, I was encouraged to try GGCSL and I’ve loved it ever since.
Very compatible philosophy with 12-​step programs, I have felt comfy here with plenty room to explore my spiritual path. They are very welcoming here, no matter your beliefs or background.
Practitioners are amazing. If you need prayer support, check out the practitioner table.
Services are uplifting. The ministers always speak with you from the podium, never talk down at you, which is refreshing and welcoming.

Fantastic is all I can say. This is the first center I attended; I was introduced to Religious Science by my aunt who is very active here. Everyone is so friendly, and I love the musical offerings they provide. This is a smaller center compared to the one in Santa Rosa (this offers one service/​week, the center in Santa Rosa offers multiple) but I enjoy this just as much. Rev. Karyl is fun and lively, and Bodhi does a great job with the musical arrangements. The spiritual practitioners are great — I’ve interacted with many, but Janet is my favorite :).

This is why I am in Marin.
In spirit, anyway. It’s just across the Golden Gate Bridge, a 15-​minute drive. On Sundays at 10:00 am the celebration is usually at the Corte Madera Recreation Center, on Tamalpais Drive just west of Highway 101. During the week, classes are held around 6:30 pm in the learning center at 199 Greenfield Avenue, in San Rafael. That’s just off 4^th Street right before the San Anselmo border.
I’m learning to ride Golden Gate Transit, to check out cars from City CarShare, and to ask for rides from my colleagues. On weekends My Lady will either check out a City CarShare car or rent a car from Enterprise or Alamo. Why do we do this?
Because there is a wonderful atmosphere in Marin County. People are peaceful here. The air is fresh and the sky is blue. The sun is warm, and there are plenty of sun dresses, shorts, and bicycles.
The services at GGCSL are well worth attending, too. The music is fresh, the minister, Rev. Karyl, is inspiring, and the congregation is welcoming. The theme is offering «practical spiritual tools to transform your life and help make the world a better place.»
It’s a great contrast to the cold and fog of the Richmond District, that’s for sure.

GGCSL is my spiritual home. I was «divinely guided» there through a series of synchronistic events that I always knew came from some higher power, which at the time, I did not fully understand. Thanks to the Center’s teachings of Science of Mind, I GET IT! I know how and why these events happened in my lfie, and I now know how to make the best use of that higher power to create the life I desire, and not just settle for what happens. If you’re one of those people who has always believed things happen in a certain way, yet have not met others of like mind to have that affirmed, I strongly recommend you visit this Sunday — a whole new experience awaits at GGCSL.

GGCSL is a wonderful Spiritual Home where a loving community of positive, open minded and caring people come to share our passion for empowerment, consciousness, and Oneness. For those who understand the Law of Attraction, this is the place for you!

It’s been 17 years since I walked through the doors of Golden Gate Center for Spiritual Living and it’s always felt like home.
I have been a practitioner here for 10 years and it has been so rewarding.
If one is looking for a place to feel comfortable and at ease please come on Sunday at 10 am. You will always find something in the talk that pertains to just what you need at that time. It does for me.
