It is for first-timers, experienced Reiki teachers, and anyone in-between. You may find that it is the most peaceful and calming part of your week. I know I do.

Creating Your Unstuck Life: Utilizing “The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership”
Tuesday Monthly In-Person Option with Rev. Abigail Schairer
If you’ve been craving less reactivity, more ease, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of alignment in your daily life, this 15 month-long journey is for you. Each month, we’ll explore one of the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership — practical tools that help you shift from stress and defensiveness into clarity, groundedness, and genuine connection.
These commitments aren’t abstract ideas. They’re everyday transformations, the kind that help you:

stop replaying the same arguments,
navigate conflict with clarity,
communicate without fear or shutdown,
let go of people-pleasing,
trust your intuition,
reclaim joy and play,
and embody the inner dynamo of who you are— in your home, your work, your relationships, your spiritual life, and in your community.

When you join us in person, you’ll be part of a supportive learning community where growth feels safe, human, and actually doable. Each session is spacious, reflective, and grounded in spiritual principles that integrate beautifully with real-life practice.
This series is perfect if you’re ready to shift old patterns, cultivate resilience, and live from a place of conscious choice instead of unconscious habit. Come discover what becomes possible when you stop reacting to life… and start creating it.
First Tuesday of each month, 6–7:30 pm (with some exceptions). Please remain consistent with either the in-person or online option.
Investment: $375 (a $75 discount) for the full series (15 classes) or $30 per class (purchased individually each month). A list of all dates is available online or at the Ask Me Desk. Please sign up online or at the Ask Me Desk by Jan. 25.

-Guest Speaker: Rev. Abigail Schairer
Talk Title: “Leading from Above the Line “
Ever notice how some days you’re open, creative, and calm — and other days you’re, well… not? That invisible line between reactivity and presence makes all the difference in how we lead, communicate, and show up in the world.
At this month’s Spirit at Work Breakfast, Rev. Abigail Schairer will explore what it means to lead from “above the line,” a key concept from The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. Before we ever make a decision or take an action, we get to choose how we see the world: through fear and control, or through curiosity and consciousness.
This isn’t just theory — it’s a practical, lighthearted look at how awareness can transform your workplace, your relationships, and even your morning commute. Come hungry for insight (and breakfast)!
Please register early so we have time to prepare food and materials. Register at the Ask Me desk or on the website at “Registrations.” Fee is $30 with registration, no one turned away. We look forward to networking with you!
Date/Time Information: Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025 / 8 to 9:30 a.m. / Doors open at 7:45 a.m. / Breakfast begins at 8 a.m.

Will meet on 5th Sunday this month (11/30), noon to 1:30
The intention of the CSL Grief Support group is to provide the time and space for learning from each other, as well as share what we found to be helpful in our own experience with grief. While grief is most often associated with the loss of a loved one, loss of any kind usually involves grief. We will discuss many issues (does grief serve a purpose, self-care, living beyond loss), as well as share steps forward. The group is open to all. There is no fee; a love donation basket will be available.
