by Edward Viljoen, Senior Minister
I want everyone to feel known and welcomed at the Center. I look forward to meeting you, if I haven’t already, and I want to offer some suggestions for meeting new people.
Classes are a wonderful way to meet new people, and our Education Ministry has tuition scholarship programs available. We have regular, certificated classes lasting from eight to ten weeks and shorter spiritual enrichment courses that last from four to five weeks. If you take five spiritual enrichment courses, the sixth one is free.
During our annual Nurturing Our Community event, you can volunteer to host a meal in your home and have folks bid for a seat at your table. Whether you are a guest or a host, it's a great way to eat delicious food, meet new friends, and have a good time.
There are number of other ways to meet new people that are free.
Stepping Stones Books and Gifts presents monthly events, where well-known authors and artists present extracts from their works. You can follow the bookstore events by checking our Upcoming Events section (left).
Other great social events are our Annual Picnic, Easter Services, and our annual Animal Blessing. These events are open to the whole family and are a great, easy way of connecting with others.

Available for client appointments.
As a practitioner since 2002 and an active exhibiting artist, I thoroughly connect with the creative process. There are challenges to being active and fulfilling one’s self through creativity. It is an ongoing process of uncovering and discovering.
I have led and been active with the Center’s Empowerment Groups and the Spirit Expressing Art Show. Realizing that the Divine Presence is the Great Creator and resides in me and in each and every one of us opens that flow to greater creativity --- expressed in individual avenues.
Fee Structure: Rates: $60.00 an hour
