Founded in 1988, Seaside Center for Spiritual Living on Lake Drive in Encinitas is a nonprofit religious community rooted in the Science of Mind philosophy developed by Ernest Holmes in the early twentieth century. The teaching curriculum draws on universal principles across world religious traditions, placing the center within Encinitas's broader contemplative landscape alongside the Self-Realization Fellowship Meditation Gardens on South Coast Highway 101. Two Sunday celebration services anchor the weekly calendar, supplemented by midweek meditation sits, practitioner-led Spiritual Mind Treatment sessions, and multi-week coursework through the affiliated CSL School of Spiritual Living. The single-story, ADA-accessible campus near Encinitas Community Park hosts guest speakers, ticketed author events, and livestreamed services, blending in-person and virtual participation in a model that mirrors the hybrid programming at wellness centers such as Bamboo Garden Wellness Center in the 92024 ZIP. Advanced practitioner-training tracks certify students in Affirmative Prayer methodology, a structured mental-treatment protocol that applies five sequential steps—Recognition, Unification, Declaration, Thanksgiving, and Release—to reframe cognitive and emotional patterns.
