Personal Practitioner Studies

Year 1 - Personal Practice

The first year of practitioner studies focuses on spiritual work within ourselves...

  1. deepening the students’ knowledge and understanding of the Science of Mind;
  2. in depth work in deepening self understanding and the transition into the professional Consciousness;
  3. moving from the role of student of Science of Mind into the role of professional in training.

Students are immersed in rigorous study and practical application of the principles of Science of Mind. Students become aware of what needs to be cleared in their own consciousness as they examine values and dissolve mental conditions that keep themselves from living a dynamic, joyous, and effective life. This study provides the avenue for compassionate understanding of Self and others and develops spiritual awareness for seeing beyond conditions and discerning spiritual Truth.

Students are also introduced to and trained in Prayer work for others, which they will be capable of performing at the conclusion of this year of study.

This course is recommended for anyone who wishes to continue to deepen their study and practice of Religious Science, whether or not the student wishes to continue on to become a licensed Religious Science Practitioner.

Students are eligible to continue in Year 2.

Spiritual Counseling & Practical Prayer sessions with Rev. Bill

Our beliefs create our experience of life. When we are dissatisfied with any aspect of life - be it...

  • health and vitality
  • prosperity and enough-ness
  • love and connection
  • the way we share our gifts with the world
  • or something else...

there is very likely a belief at work that is hidden below our conscious awareness.

Rev. Bill works with you one-on-one to discover those hidden beliefs and replace them with ones that will tend to bring more of the Good you seek into your life.

Each session includes a personal Practical Prayer to activate the Truth of who you are as individualized expressions of Spirit. Through practice of this scientific form of prayer, we enter an energetic vibration that anchors our awareness in our essential perfection and oneness with the I Am Presence of the Self, and invite a new experience of Life.

Three, six, and twelve-session packages include free follow-up via email or text between sessions. Unused sessions expire after 18 months.

 All session will be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time, via Zoom, phone or in-person.
