THIS SUNDAY'S GUEST ARTIST
Raven Barrientos
| | |
Raven has always had a love for music. She has been singing since the age of 8 and playing violin since the age of 10. Her father is also a musician. What once was a career goal has shifted into a need for healing and personal expression.
Raven was part of the music ministry at CSLN from 2016–2019 and continues to enjoy the teachings, as they resonate deeply with her beliefs. When she is not performing as a Stereo Angel, she is writing music for her solo projects and creating cards for her soon-to-be-released sea-inspired oracle deck. Both her songs and cards are rooted in her journey through grief and healing, and she hopes others will find them relatable and useful on their own paths.

Do You Have Your "Textbook"?
Ernest Holmes’ The Science of Mind—our beloved “Textbook”—is the foundation of the Science of Mind teaching. Each January, CSL communities explore the first four chapters together.
The Textbook is more than principles and philosophy. It also includes spiritual mind treatments, meditations, a dictionary, and a yearlong reading guide.
Want to go deeper this January? Pick up a copy in the CSLN Bookstore and explore the teachings at your own pace. You’ll also find other works by Dr. Holmes, including This Thing Called You.
Stop by the CSLN Bookstore and see what speaks to you!
