Dr. Heather Dawn Clark, Spiritual Leader

Elected in May of 1999, Dr. Heather serves as our spiritual leader. Although she views herself as a recovering shy person, Dr. Heather is a gifted, powerfully effective speaker whose sense of humor and love of story are evident in her Sunday morning messages. Dr. Heather loves to teach the principles of the Science of Mind in clear, practical ways, often drawing upon her rich knowledge of literature and sacred traditions to illustrate the concepts.

She is a compassionate woman who believes that both wisdom and love are necessary ingredients in ministry. A good listener, Dr. Heather is an insightful spiritual counselor and effective practitioner, loving to hold up the mirror of consciousness so that her clients will see their own magnificence. Dr. Heather's own life has been transformed through the application of the principles of Science of Mind through growth in self-esteem, self-awareness, and self-advocacy.

Alene Kramer

Rev. Alene's ministry is the Seva Ministry, which is the spiritual practice of selfless, loving service performed without attachment and with the attitude that one is not the doer.

Offering Seva to the Center and Center community is both a way to make a significant contribution to the spiritual community that feeds us spiritually and a spiritual discipline that awakens us to the greater truth of our being.
