About Us

Who We Are

Our Center is a spiritual community, dedicated to teaching spiritual tools that empower each individual to live a life that reveals the full expression of Being. What that looks like is unique to each person.

We study the nature of our relationship with the Infinite Source and how it operates in our lives. We also study and practice how we can direct our thoughts and beliefs to create positive change. Ours is a practical application of the spiritual principles that govern our Universe.

Many of us are drawn to these teachings because of their practicality and inclusiveness. Our spiritual community endeavors to expand our vision to reflect our highest and truest nature.

Our History

The Mendocino Center has had a presence on the Coast since 1990. We are members of the Centers for Spiritual Living, a global community with over 140 centers in over 30 countries. CSL has its roots in the New Thought philosophy and can be seen as a religion or as a way of life.

Our Center is a place to make friends, share experiences and know the power and presence of the Divine in daily life.

Our Senior Minister

Reverend Aileen has been serving Mendocino Center for Spiritual Living as the Spiritual Leader since March 2024 and in December 2024 was voted in as our Senior Minister by our community.

She has been the guest speaker at many CSL Centers across the United States both in person and online. Most importantly, she was raised in New Thought, starting at a Unity church in elementary school and moving to Science of Mind during her teenage years.

Aileen grew up coming to the Mendocino Coast to stay with her grandfather in Albion, CA where the family maintains a retreat property. She describes being on the coast as being home - her sanctuary where she recharges and can hear Spirit speaking the loudest.

Rev. Aileen is available for End-of-Life/Celebrations of Life, Weddings, Child Blessings, Animal Blessings, House Blessings, and any other ritual one may desire. She is also available for one on one coaching and prayer and loves to pray with people.
