Garrett, Laura
As a lifelong seeker, I have always been drawn to the deeper meanings of life. My journey led me to CSLTV in 2011, where I began my spiritual education. In 2015, I became a licensed practitioner, marking a significant milestone in my path.
At CSLTV, I am thrilled to be part of this vibrant spiritual community. I believe that within each of us lies everything we need to realize our potential.
As a Practitioner, my joy comes from reflecting the truth I know and see, offering spiritual guidance and support. I honor each individual’s unique journey and empower them to create their desired reality from that foundation.
I firmly believe that Spirit responds to our requests—every time, without exception. So, I encourage you to ask for what you truly want and harness the power of spiritual laws and truths to manifest your dreams!

Haase, Beth
Ram Dass reminds us to remember, we are all just walking each other home. The purpose of a spiritual practitioner is to be available to offer ideas for walking the spiritual path. The spiritual practice as a practitioner is to be available to meet with others who may be going through one of those tough moments on this path called life. This is what I offer.

Kirchgessner, Ann
Ann grew up in a somewhat conservative church and moved on to liberal faith traditions in her twenties. She has been with CSLTV for over 20 years and has enjoyed being part of this thriving spiritual community. In addition to being a licensed practitioner, she is involved in the youth education program, the art guild, and the spiritual book study group. She brings a love of children, learning, and art, and a commitment to creating a pleasing environment to this community.
She is excited to be living in a time when quantum physics and scientific experiments are supporting religious beliefs once held only intuitively. This is a time to explore endless possibilities, including greater self-awareness, freedom from stress, and greater potential to work together in community.
Ann believes that individual growth is always possible, as no experience is ever wasted and all questions are welcome in this pursuit. As Jesus said, “It is done unto you as you believe.” As we each begin to realize that we are lovable just as we are, change becomes easier to welcome, and we can consciously participate in it to achieve our highest and best outcomes. The possibilities are right here, awaiting recognition!

Zeruto, Alex
I first learned about Science of Mind from a friend Richie B. in 2002. Richie B. became a wonderful Spiritual Mentor to me and we enjoyed taking classes together from 2003 to 2005 at a center on Long Island, NY. The years passed and my involvement with that center ended in 2005. Although I was without a center for many years the teachings of Ernest Holmes stayed close with me and were part of my daily spiritual practice. Inspired by an inner yearning to be connected in this community of like-minded people I returned to a center and training in 2023. I enjoy an active abundant life in all areas. My mission is to live an authentic life where people can depend on me to be in integrity. I love this quote from Earnest Holmes: “There is One Universal Substance whose business it is to take form in multiplicity” We are all individualized expressions of the One Spirit; creative Life force. Love is who I am. Love is who we are. Love is all there is. Continual self- improvement is an inescapable part of living- let’s do it together - consciously!
