Here are just a few of the things that we love about Monterey Center For Spiritual Living. What's your favorite thing?
I love the Monterey CSL because the message is always great, it's easy to get to, and the community is always welcoming.
The feeling of love and camaraderie. When I walk through these doors it feels like coming home. I feel comfortable, I feel welcomed, and fully supported if I have issues that I have to have a Practitioner for. This is family. And my heart will always be here.
The teachings and the people!!! That's it! It's everything!
Of course, the People! The coming together, the gathering, and the community. That's what I love best!
What I love is the teaching! This teaching has changed my life. I have been able to maneuver through so many life lessons and tests that I wouldn't have been able to do as smoothly and with as much peace of mind as I have with this teaching!
Monterey CSL is a beautiful facility! It has wonderful people in it. It's a community family. And we all are here as one to live this teaching which is mind, body and LIFE CHANGING!
It's an upbeat place, and I've met lots of wonderful people I consider my friends.
The beautiful singing is what I love the MOST!
I've been a member of this church since a year after it's inception, and I just fell in love with the teaching. It just changed my life. I became a new person. And right now I use [the teaching] every day of my life. It's just so good to know that "there is a power for good in the universe, and I can use it!
What do I like the BEST about Monterey CSL? I like the people! They're the BEST!
I love it! I love the area, I love the welcoming from all the people when I come. I live out of the area and get here as often as I can. And I'm always welcomed when I come in. And I love it! And I love this teaching. It's perfect!
It is where my life continues to grow, and makes me (I hope) a better person!
I just love coming here. I love the people, and I love the spirit of the place -- it's beautiful! And the vibe is always lovely.
I love the community... Love, friendship, classes... the peace and the love that I feel.... I'm home here!
I love the friendliness of all the people!
