Events at CSLNJ
We’re always looking to create new programming and offerings to bring our community together, to experience growth, or just to have a heckuva good time. Click on the image to learn more about what’s happening. Check back for new events often. And please, contact us with any questions! Hope you see you at one of these soon!
Spiritual Mind Treatment with Rev. Michelle
Spiritual Mind Treatment is Science of Mind’s gift to the world. To become a licensed Practitioner, a Practitioner completes four years of study. Learning how to treat in a way that truly impacts your life is not something you can do in the course of an afternoon. Rev. Michelle will introduce us to the science and follow up with a four-week class. She will record it so you can go at your own pace.
For those who have been around a while, this will be a reminder. If you are new, it’ll be a launch.
We will offer a free introduction on Sunday, October 25, post-celebration. We will then follow up that introduction with a four-week class.
The introduction on October 25 will give you the overall basics, a down-and-dirty overview.
The following classes will be 11/1, 11/8, 11/15, 11/22, 2 PM - one hour each class.
· Class one: we will talk about the philosophy behind spiritual mind treatment.
· Class two will break out each step of treatment in a clearer way.
· Class three will be a deep dive into the dos and don’ts.
· Class four, we will pull everything together; offer you books to study to increase your understanding and effectiveness.
And all the while we will be practicing. Plan on learning how to speak your word out loud.
Cost $100* (No one will be turned away.) If you need consideration, talk to Jenni Masuri or Gesa Nichols. *All proceeds go to CSLNJ
All classes will be recorded, so if you don’t make one, you’ll still receive the recording

Celebrating the Life of Rev. Neil Pinkman
Our Center for Spiritual Living North Jersey family will gather to celebrate and honor our beloved Rev. Neil on Saturday, August 29, 2026, from 2:00–4:30 p.m.
We'll meet at the Indian Lake Club,
91 E. Shore Rd., Denville, NJ 07834.
The memorial service will be lovingly facilitated by two of Neil's dear prayer partners, followed by time to visit, share stories, and enjoy light refreshments together.
If you'd like to, we'd love for you to bring a favorite dish to share with our CSL family. There is absolutely no obligation—your presence is the greatest gift—but if you're moved to contribute, it will help make our time together even more special.
During the gathering, anyone who wishes will have the opportunity to share a brief story, memory, or blessing in honor of Neil.
If you aren't able to be with us, we would be honored to include your words. Please send a note to RevJerseyGirl@gmail.com, and someone will read your message during the service.
We are also doing our best to livestream the celebration for those who cannot attend in person. If you wish to watch the Memorial on Zoom, here is the link: https://bit.ly/RevNeilMemorial
As we come together as a spiritual community, we would like to support the family (Neil & Michelle) with our love, prayers, and generosity. Let us help ease the financial burden at this time of loss. Please consider a contribution in their honor, no matter the amount; your contribution is an expression of love and support and is deeply appreciated.

And leave here today with a new bonus skill.
The Art of Mastery
You were created to express in great ways, from your highest self. You may not know what that is or could be. Then you may know but don’t know how to get there, or are just plain scared to live from that place of inspiration.
The Art of Mastery is about eliminating those parts of us that have, up until now, kept us in the zone of mediocrity.
In this six-week Zoom course, you will:
· Learn to identify and dismantle the limiting thoughts that keep you small
· Get clear on how to reach your zone of Genius
