This is exactly what you’ve been looking for. I went around the world to temple and monasteries and kept looking for something more complicated. But almost 20 years ago I found my home here at CSE. It is very special place. I come here mostly for the meditations every morning and every afternoon. Try it a few times and at different times to see what suits you best. Also the once a month satsang shouldn’t be missed. And don’t arrive late if you want a seat, hahaha! Take a walk in the garden on a rough day. I always feel like someone is going to tell me to get out of here, but they don’t. It is a nice place to spend some time in nature in stillness.

"Awaken to the One Truth Known by Many Names"is outside on the marquis of this incredibly beautiful soul stirring place. I first encountered the center in 2009 while walking the Rock n Roll marathon and I have been on a journey of Self realization ever since. With regular meditation lessons either in classes or group meditation at Sunday service, I have found stillness and peace to reside in the very core of my being. I'm able to see things from a new perspective, one that is not thrashed about by daily ups and downs, but rather resides in the present moment where all miracles lie. I find myself in awe of the beauty of life, and in its torrents I am knowing that peace is ahead and patience is key. To be able to live in a nonreactive yet responsive way is a gift. One that was given to me by discovering Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian and the community at CSE. This center is truly nondenominational- and the practices of Yoga philosophy with Hatha Yoga exercise can strengthen any religious or spiritual practice that speaks to you. I have found my spiritual home and am eternally grateful.

I finally found Truth. I have searched most of my life, but there was always something I just didn't believe. I know I was led to CSE. I have never felt such peace as I have since getting involved with CSE. I love going there and learning what I know in my heart, to be true.
