We envision a diverse and empowered community that is practicing unconditional love in action.
Our mission is to create safe and inclusive spaces to explore and deepen our faith, grow in spiritual consciousness, and express our authentic nature.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
HONOR ALL PATHS
Cityside Center for Spiritual Living in Chicago is a radically inclusive community practicing love in action. We create welcoming and inclusive spaces where people from all walks of life can come together (in person and/or online) to explore their beliefs and deepen their spiritual practice. It is our intention to meet you exactly as you are, embracing your unique journey and honoring the path you are on. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just beginning to explore spirituality, we create opportunities that encourage connection, self-discovery, and growing to your full potential.
INCLUSION
We believe that community is an essential aspect of spiritual development and support your exploration through small group gatherings, classes, workshops, community events, and Sunday Celebration Services. We invite you to come together with like-minded seekers to celebrate, connect, and share experiences. Our gatherings foster belonging and provide opportunities to forge lasting friendships with folks who share similar interests and values.
EXPLORE. DEEPEN. GROW.
Our Sunday Celebration Services are a central part of our community experience and feature inspirational music and guest speakers with insightful messages that resonate with your spiritual aspirations. The Sunday experience is designed to uplift and inspire and our small group gatherings are designed to create greater connections with like-minded individuals and deepen your personal growth and transformation. Whether you’re interested in exploring spiritual practices like meditation, visualization, and affirmative prayer, or applying spiritual principles to relationships, finances, and other life situations, we offer classes, workshops, and events to expand your exploration and provide spiritual tools to advance your journey of awakening.
PERSONAL AND GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION
Understanding that every individual impacts the collective, Cityside provides spiritual tools for transforming your life in support of creating a “world that works for everyone”. We support personal awakening for global transformation.
A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE
We celebrate and teach ancient wisdom and spiritual principles with a modern, relevant, and inclusive message. We are dogma-free and remain “open at the top”, applying the practical and mystical teachings of the Science of Mind philosophy founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes and we are affiliated with the global organization, Centers for Spiritual Living.
