Education Ministry
"The Science of Mind is the study of Life and the nature of the laws of thought; the conception that we live in a spiritual Universe; that God is in, through, around and for us."
- Ernest Holmes
San Francisco Spiritual Enrichment Center's Education Ministry is committed to the spiritual growth of all individuals, and believes that spiritual development is founded on the spiritual practices of meditation, prayer, service, tithing and study. We offer adults of all ages the opportunity to go deeper by studying the spiritual principles and putting them to work in their lives through our core curriculum of certificated Science of Mind classes.
The Foundations class or the Beyond Limits class is a prerequisite to all other certificated classes except the Principles of Financial Freedom.
More classes in the certificated curriculum will be offered in the future.
For a class schedule or to register for a class please visit San Francisco Spiritual Enrichment Center or call the center office at: (415) 831-9437. All required textbooks are available in our Metaphysical Bookstore.

The class also features the writings of our elders and contemporaries of Science of Mind.

Beyond Limits (30 hours)
This course uses the foundational principles of Science of Mind to explore a new view of reality in which each of us may take responsibility for the quality of our life. Tese principles are presented in a new format for beginning students or those unfamiliar with Science of Mind.

The Power of Your Word (24 hours)
This is an amazing course on the power of Spiritual Mind Treatment. Each week is a thoughtful approach to the deeper understanding of prayer: how the nature of God and man creates prayer, the impact of creative law and beliefs, what to pray for, affirmative treatment, and the state of continuous prayer.
The Essential Ernest Holmes (30 hours)
This course is a loving tribute to Dr. Ernest Holmes and the wisdom he brought into our world. The course is based upon What We Believe. Each class offers the opportunity to examine these ideas, and to make the power of this teaching come alive.

This course contains in-depth material that allows the student to examine his or her belief system, and to gain a new perspective on how this system of beliefs is at work in his or her life. Interplay of thought, emotions, desire, action, spirit, and all facets of being work together to create a new level of well-being and abundance in the individual's life. A comprehensive workbook and creative exercises are included.
There is no prerequisite for this class.
Visioning (24 hours)
This course is a walk through the powerful tool of visioning. It includes the history of how visioning began in our movement with the inspiration of Dr. Michael Beckwith. The course offers weekly opportunities for visioning in our Global Heart model.
Meditation is More than You Think (24 hours)
This course is suitable for beginners or those wishing to deepen and expand their spiritual practice. The experiential nature of the class will move you through several modalities, including meditation with light, mantras, sound, movement, breathing and more.
