We are so glad you found us. At RGCSL, we are a partnership that is “Community Led, Community Fed.” That means everyone has a place here.

Find Your Place, Awaken Your Potential
The Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living offers a safe, accepting environment where we explore oneness and the Divine Power within. We’re dedicated to each other, our local community and the world around us. We encourage ways to connect with Spirit/Higher Power/Universal Love in an atmosphere of love, acceptance, and joy.
Come home to your true self and join us as we share, grow and awaken our inner power. You’ll see how practical mysticism opens amazing possibilities in navigating our deeply complex, rich and challenging world.

Our Philosophy
We study and practice the Science of Mind® and Spirit, also known as Religious Science®, which holds that all life is sacred—that each human being is an expression of God. We believe in Cause and Effect and teach that “it is done unto you as you believe.” In essence, our thinking and expectations create our reality.
Our teachings incorporate the ancient wisdom of spiritual traditions through the ages. People of all spiritual paths — Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, and others — are welcome in our community. We help people experience a personal relationship with the Creator; promote a community of inclusivity, understanding and respect; provide classes, programs, prayer and meditation; and advocate a safe spiritual community of like-minded people interested in living a spiritual life.
Our Vision
Transforming our world with the power of love in action
Our Mission
Loving all creation through spiritual growth and service; always staying true to our highest self
