Embodying the Global Vision Class

5 Tuesdays: October 27-Dec 15 (No class 11/3, 11/24, 12/8)

With Rev Abigail, 6 – 8 pm | in person or on Zoom

Have you ever sat in a circle that speaks of Oneness and still wondered who wasn’t in the room, or whether you fully belonged in it?

If so, you’re in good company. Many of us love a spiritual path that teaches that every person is an expression of the Divine, and we also want our communities to feel like that truth. This course is a place to explore that gap with honesty, curiosity, and heart.

Rooted in Science of Mind and the Centers for Spiritual Living Global Vision, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging (DEIJB) becomes a spiritual practice here, not a debate or a checklist. You’ll bring your own experience, whether that’s feeling left out, wanting to do better, or both, and you’ll meet others doing the same. Together we’ll look at the filters and hidden beliefs we all carry, and at the structures that shape who feels welcome. Then we’ll practice what it takes to build a community where belonging is real.

You won’t be asked to be perfect. You’ll be asked to be willing.

What You’ll Take Away:

• A shared language. Clear, usable definitions of DEIJB, and the difference between equity and equality, and between punitive and restorative justice.
• Clearer self-awareness. A compassionate look at your own filters, implicit biases, and hidden beliefs, and how they connect to Science of Mind teachings and the Global Vision.
• A wider view. Why diversity is a spiritual value, what stands in its way, and why inclusion matters in spiritual community.
• Tools for real relationships. How belonging is built, what happens when it breaks, and how to bridge back, using compassion, mindfulness, and spiritual practice.
• Grounded courage. A personal relationship with equity and justice, and the confidence to advocate in alignment with your values and your community’s commitments.

How We’ll Learn Together- Expect a mix: guided reflection and journaling, small-group conversation, teaching and frameworks, spiritual practices, and real-world application you can take home and use.

Who It’s For- Anyone who wants their spirituality and their community to line up: longtime students, newcomers, practitioners, and leaders alike. No prior knowledge is needed.
