Practitioners

Theresa Martin has been an active member of the Center for Spiritual Living Salt Lake for twenty years now. 

Her journey began in Ireland in the 1960's when a friend gave her a copy of Genevieve Behrend's book " Your Invisible Power: The Mental Science of Thomas Troward”. She was excited by its teachings and attracted people and events that commenced a journey ending in Salt Lake City. 

She serves our Community as a Licensed Professional Practitioner and has co-facilitated many classes given at the Center.

Wendy Condie has been an active member of the Salt Lake Center for Spiritual Living since being introduced to the philosophy and teaching of Science of Mind. She was fascinated with the powerful teaching and immediately signed up for her first Foundations class in 2004.

Wendy loves serving individuals with prayer and the teachings of Science of Mind that offers hope, inspiration and understanding that lead to greater expressions in living to live a better life.

Wendy is dedicated to share the impact of affirmative living, its application in gratitude, prayer and celebration for the extraordinary Gift of Life!

Wendy feels honored to be a Licensed Practitioner in Salt Lake and is also serving on the Centers for Spiritual Living World Ministry of Prayer.

Wendy is always excited to share her enthusiasm about the beautiful philosophy and teachings of Ernest Holmes.

Farrel Zeeman had been retired for a year from his career as a teacher when he began attending CSL, Salt Lake  in September of 2010.  He began his studies of Ernest Holmes in January of 2011 when he took the Foundations class. As so often happens with students of Science of Mind, each class created a hunger for the next, until one day Farrel he found himself graduating and becoming licensed as a Science of Mind Practitioner. 

Salina Baugh first discovered the Salt Lake Center for Spiritual Living in 2001 and jumped in with both feet, taking classes and volunteering. Both of these activities grounded her in the philosophy and built sustaining friendships. In 2007 Salina licensed as a Practitioner and has been of service to the Center in many capacities. 

Currently, Salina is focusing her attention on teaching classes and one-on-one spiritual coaching. Salina loves sharing her personal insights and why she believes the application of this philosophy is not only relevant today, but if applied daily will change lives.

Christopher Steele (Topher) was looking for a spiritual home as he was leaving a organized religious church. He started to explore other spiritual churches and was brought to The Center for Spiritual Living in California by a friend. He began to take classes and in 2009, he studied with 18 others to become a Licensed Practitioner.  He was licensed in 2012.  Topher has been part of the LGBTQ community since 1998, when he first came out to personal friends. He participates regularly and supports his  Brothers and Sisters in the LGBTQ community. In 2019 Topher started a company that encompasses the philosophy of Ernest Holmes and includes LGBTQ employees. He finds it a pleasure and an Honor to serve in The Salt Lake Center for Spiritual Living. 

  Anita Schoeff first began exploring the Science of Mind teachings in 2002. Eventually she began taking classes, drawn by the challenge, stimulation, and deep connection with others.  In fact, she loved the classes so much that she continued into practitioner studies and, to her own amazement, became a licensed practitioner in 2014.

Anita feels very privileged to serve as a practitioner for Centers for Spiritual Living in Salt Lake City and St. George.  She holds a deep appreciation of the Science of Mind teachings as a practical, logical, useful approach to creating a fulfilling life.  She loves the inclusive and expansive philosophy that views life as a journey of self-discovery — a grand adventure, for sure!

Katherine Hernandez (Katie) has been around this community since 1980. A friend told her to step away from organized religion and go to a place that taught Love and that’s exactly what she did. She’s been a member of Salt Lake Centers for Spiritual Living for 39 years and a Practitioner for 16 years. (Only 4 years from an Emeritus Practitioner!) 

She found that Love her friend was talking about. Now her joy is helping others find their truth and Love, when they have forgotten the truth of who they are and how powerful they are. As a Practitioner Katie reminds others of their truth.

Her love in life these days is answering online prayers for the Center, for those in need.
