Science of Mind Classes at Woodside Spiritual Center

These accredited classes in the Science of Mind® and related metaphysical philosophy are offered this academic year. Certificates of Completion are issued from Religious Science International (RSI) for students completing 4 units of study in a Series. There are no prerequisites for classes in the 100 or 200 Series.

New Science of Mind Classes with Dr. Jaine Ryder begin in September. Taking classes is the very best way to put the spiritual principles you hear about on Sunday mornings into practical application in your daily living. Classes are interactive, life-affirming and life-enhancing. You can expect to read thought-provoking books, do short homework assignments, learn how to do spiritual mind treatments and put some aspect of daily spiritual practice into your life. Students often form networks of on-going spiritual support with each other and taking classes is a great way to make new friends and hang out with old ones.

Classes are now held in the Office. Dr. Jaine requires a minimum enrollment of 6 students for a session.
