Our grand re-opening — both for Solid Grounds and our first Sunday service in our new home — was something truly special. It wasn’t just an event; it was a reflection of who we are when we come together with intention, heart, and willingness.

So many of you gave your time, your energy, your resources, and your presence. Thank you for the hundreds of donated hours, the financial support for our transition fund, and the many people who showed up to bless our first celebrations in our new home. So much gratitude. So much Love.

That spirit continues to guide us as we step into this new chapter together. RGCSL is more than a place—it is a living, breathing community shaped by each person who walks through our doors. As we settle into our new home, we carry forward a shared vision of connection, growth, and spiritual exploration that honors every path and every voice.

We invite you to keep co-creating this sacred space with us—through your presence, your participation, and your unique gifts. Whether you are new to our community or have been walking alongside us for years, there is a place for you here. Together, we are building something meaningful, something enduring, and something rooted deeply in love and possibility.

This website has taken the long way home. But every step brought us to the right place at the right time. And now, here we are, with a new home, a new vision, and a new website — arriving right when we need it most.

For more than a year, the question lived among us: What kind of home are we growing into?

Through visioning sessions, conversations, and countless moments of listening for what wanted to emerge, a picture slowly began to take shape — not just of a building, but of a space that could hold our community’s spirit, creativity, and unfolding future. It also became clear that our next home needed to support our financial integrity; the rising costs of our previous location were pulling us into debt, and something more sustainable was calling.

Then came the moment that changed everything. When Carol March first stepped into the space on San Mateo Place, something clicked — a sense of recognition, possibility, and rightness. The very next day, a whole team gathered to see it for themselves. Within minutes, the feeling was unanimous. This is it. This is where the next chapter begins.

In a team meeting to explore the bookstore’s identity in our new space, a name began to emerge — one that felt aligned with the spirit and future of this place.

As we stayed with what resonated, a sense of clarity formed around the identity taking shape. The move had opened a natural moment of re‑imagining, inviting us to consider not just where the bookstore would live, but what it wanted to express in this next chapter.

Through reflection, conversation, and a willingness to stay open, a name began to stand out — one that carried both playfulness and depth, both curiosity and meaning. It felt like an invitation into possibility, a doorway into discovery, and a nod to the imaginative spirit that has always lived here.

At this time of growing conflict and deep uncertainty in the Middle East and beyond, I speak to you from my heart, grounded in the teachings of Science of Mind, reminding us that all life is a unified expression of an infinite, loving Universal Spirit. We witness with deep concern the expanding military actions involving the United States, Israel and Iran that have brought widespread suffering and loss of life across the region.

This month, we take the time to acknowledge the awesome job that Crystal did with our moving sale.

Crystal’s original project was to collect items for recycling to ensure things didn’t end up in the landfill. It morphed into something huge and wonderful as others became involved.

We managed to run the sale for two Saturdays and there was still a ton of stuff left, which Crystal cleaned out and distributed to various organizations in need, while primarily recycling or upcycling the rest. She did this almost exclusively by herself (and it was quite an undertaking!)

Thank you, Crystal, for your gargantuan efforts and for all the income generated as a result. Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living is blessed to have you as part of our community. We are extremely grateful!
