Inward Journey & Practitioner Studies

Inward Journey of Spiritual Maturity

Are you ready to challenge yourself to a deeper love, practice and expression of the Science of Mind and Spirit? Inward Journey is devoted to advancing spiritual awareness and exploring your relationship to the universe. It is designed to prepare you to live more fully and purposefully. This year of study (Fall 2012 Spring 2013) focuses on deepening your knowledge and understanding of the Science of Mind as taught by Ernest Holmes and Emma Curtis Hopkins. During this time you will develop a deeper practice of the application of living a conscious life for the benefit and blessing of yourself and others. You will also become aware of what needs to be cleared in your own consciousness as you begin to apply your spiritual understanding to all human conditions. Required books for class include Scientific Christian Mental Practice by Emma Curtis Hopkins; Finding the Quiet by Paul Wilson; The Seven Main Aspects of God by Emmet Fox. Other books may be added.

Professional Practitioner Training
Professional Prayer Practitioner Training focuses on the consciousness, skills and responsibilities of the Professional Prayer Practitioner, the principles we teach, the process in healing, as well as a Practitioner’s relationship to the church, the community and the world.

While continuing in the deepening and development of your own conscious evolution, gained from your understanding of Science of Mind through your previous courses and your continued personal spiritual practice, we will focus on “consciousness transmission.” This includes learning and practicing techniques relating to: how to explain and train others in regards to their spiritual development, supporting our focus of being a “teaching and practicing” order. As Ernest Holmes said “Religious Science is a place where only two things happen; People are taught about a Divine Presence and a Universal Law that reacts to it; and people are taught how to use it. That’s all we have, nothing else to sell.” development of skills and competencies to conduct one-on-one spiritual coaching
applying spiritual principles to human situations through Spiritual Mind Treatment in the Practitionerclient relationship

Students will learn the skills necessary to be proficient in working professionally with clients along with the foundations of setting up a professional practice. Students will also have the opportunity to expand their own vision of life as a Practitioner, not only as one-on-one client practitioners, but also as ‘being a Practitioner’ relates to the world and the collective transformation occurring in our spiritual evolution.

In addition to your time spent at the retreat and in class, plan for homework and practicum time spent:

• Reading for enhancing and supporting spiritual understanding in the key areas of life
• Writing and speaking Spiritual Mind Treatments (practice, practice, practice)
• Practicing the techniques and skills learned
• Practitioner Practicum hours (estimate for Practicum hours is 75 hours, and will be both self-regulated along with TA/practitioner guided). The program is 9 months long, estimate 9 hours per month
• Estimated study time outside of class (not including practicum hours) is at least equivalent to time spent in the class, and is dependent on each person’s own study process.

Application To enroll in the class,

• Successful completion of Inward Journey (along with individual agreement regarding completion of other course prerequisites. See application for details.)

Licensing:
One does not have to be committed to “licensing” as a UCSL practitioner upon entering this training. Our intention is to have students who feel the call to be a Professional Practitioner start this year of training being committed to one’s continued conscious evolution, spiritual principles and practices, working with others in their spiritual development, and making the world a better place.

The actual decision to license occurs early in the second term (January), when the application and licensing fees are due to Centers for Spiritual Living, the licensing agent. Note: UCSL Application, Licensing and Background check fees will apply at that time ($150 – $225). Should one decide not to pursue licensing at this time, a review regarding the benefit of staying in the program or not will be considered on an individual basis.
