​
If you are looking for a place of inspiration, a place that will make you feel uplifted, supported, respected and loved...congratulations, you've discovered it!
​
On a more personal note:
My spiritual quest began at the age of twelve. Over the past forty plus years, I have had the pleasure of experiencing many different religions and teachings...including Baptist, Pentecostal, Nazarene, Unity, Unitarian Universalist, etc. I have studied Buddhism, Judaism, Taoism, and many others. Each spiritual experience bestowed upon me an "A-ha" moment or insight and with some teachings, the insights were numerous. It wasn't until I stepped into a Center for Spiritual Living and heard a loving, inspiring, and empowering message, did I realize that I had finally discovered my spiritual home. As a gay man, it was vitally important to me that I discover and experience a teaching that not only professed unconditional love, but genuinely embodied it, fully practiced it and to my delight I have. Little did I know then, over twenty years ago, that my life enhancing discovery would lead me to ministry!
I would consider it a privilege if you were to allow me the opportunity to share with you why I love this teaching, and why I find it to be one of the most empowering teachings available to us.
​
Again, thank you for exploring who we are, what we do and how we may be of benefit to you.
Please feel free to contact me at csllaurelmd@gmail.com, it would be a pleasure to communicate with you!

Consider yourself just hugged...one of those deep, warm, "I truly appreciate you" hugs,
