Classes at the Center of Light


Introduction to Meditation and Christian Mysticism

Wednesdays • 7:30 p.m.

This is a powerful 6-week introductory course designed for modern mystics.  Classes will include teachings on: the Inner Spiritual Path, Meditation, Soul, Light, Prayer and Blessing. Time will be spent teaching the principles of meditation that will allow you to move deeper than the body, beyond thinking and emotions, and into the reality of God's peace and presence within. In each class we explore three areas.

1) Understanding the cosmos, the Laws and Beings that govern it, and our roles as living, conscious humans in that cosmos

2) Spiritual exercises designed to help you develop skills needed for inner work

3) Hands-on experiences, through which you can learn to see, hear, and feel the spiritual world

This course is free of charge, as are all of our classes, and admission is ongoing. Please call 312.623.4418 or click here to register. When you have completed this course, you are able to attend our advanced classes, Bible Contemplation and Tree of Life, which are described below.




Bible Contemplation Class

Tuesdays • 7:30 p.m.

The New Testament teaches us how to be simple and follow two commands – love God first, and love our neighbor as ourself. It teaches us how to take on the light of Christ within ourselves and to become one with God, as Jesus was. We contemplate how Jesus' teachings, his life events, and other characters in the Bible relate to our personal lives, in order to align our hearts and minds with God's love and perfect patterns. This way of reflecting allows each person to experience personal insights and transformation that go beyond religious jargon, straight into the soul.



Tree of Life Class
Thursdays • 7:30 p.m.


The Tree of Life lessons are written for the purpose of unfolding the Soul alchemically and for opening up one's spiritual consciousness to the Wisdom of God. Answers to questions such as "What is light?," "What is love?," or "What is the Creator?" will be presented in a simple, practical way that allows students to understand, discuss, and contemplate their meaning. Each class includes a hands-on experience that gives the student a tangible experience of the reality of God's spirit and power.
