WHO WE ARE
Bosque Center for Spiritual Living is a creative community fostering personal fulfillment and universal connectedness, manifesting a kinder and more loving world.
WHAT WE DO
We practice open-hearted and open-minded spiritual realism, explored through the Science of Mind philosophy, New Thought, ancient wisdom, and our own immediate relationship with the Divine.
HOW WE DO IT
We provide supportive structures in which we can do our work together with authenticity, mindfulness, and compassion. These include weekly Sunday services, classes, art and music, care and counseling, and sacred service within and outside the Bosque CSL community.
CELEBRATION SERVICE EVERY SUNDAY @ 10 AM!
We are so pleased to be holding our Sunday Celebration Services at Maple Street Dance Space in historic Nob Hill! Maple Street is on the north side of Central Avenue between Wellesley and Bryn Mawr Drives.
Bosque CSL services happen in the back studio. You can enter the front studio through the main entrance on Central Avenue and walk through, or you can enter the back studio directly through the back entrance, which is on the alley behind the building. Just look for the Bosque CSL signs.
Maple Street doesn’t have its own parking lot but there is plenty of street parking available on Central Avenue and nearby side streets on Sunday mornings. There is a small parking lot on the east side of Bryn Mawr Drive, south of Central Avenue, that should have open spaces.
Join us this Sunday,

RISKY IS-NESS
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.-?? Usually, I’ve seen this quip attributed to Oscar Wilde. But recently I read that it may have come from twentieth-century theologian, Thomas Merton. It’s a good quote, and I like to give credit where credit’s due, so I investigated. It turns out that…
GOD AND OTHER GODS
I’ve never totally bought into Valentine’s Day with its expensive date-nights and emphasis on amorous couplings. There’s plenty to enjoy about the trappings of it; who doesn't like chocolate and flowers and canoodling? And I definitely don’t want to undermine anyone’s celebration — if you’re in love with a special…
HEAVY
Last week I invoked the Zen parable that says, “Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.” What I forget to mention is that chopping wood and carrying water is heavy work in any case. Sometimes, life is weighty and cumbersome and difficult to…
WILD BLUE YONDER
A couple of weeks ago, we went to see a documentary — Cunningham — about choreographer Merce Cunningham, an innovator in modern dance for much of the 20th century. It was a gorgeous movie, full of abstractions, on a subject about which I knew next to nothing. The film was…
