Who we are

A place to explore, grow, and belong

The Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living is an inclusive spiritual community devoted to growth, meaningful relationships, and living our values in the world. We honor all paths to the Divine and celebrate the magnificence of Spirit in every person. We learn, question, and grow together — each of us bringing our own wisdom and experience.

Our Vision

Transforming our world with the power of love in action

This vision guides everything we do — from our Sunday gatherings to our classes, service projects, and the way we show up for one another. We believe love is not just a feeling, but a practice that can transform lives and communities.

Our spiritual foundation

We are part of the Centers for Spiritual Living tradition, rooted in the Science of Mind philosophy founded by Ernest Holmes.

Our teachings draw from universal spiritual principles found across many traditions and emphasize practical spirituality — tools and practices that support a meaningful, compassionate life.
