At Mystic Heart Spiritual Center, we focus on Mystical Education: teaching prayerful practices to use in uplifting ourselves, our community, and our world. Due to the sequential presentation of curriculum, most classes close registration after the first two weeks. Our certificated classes may be taken as part of a program that leads to becoming a Fully Credentialed Professional Prayer Practitioner (RScP), a Minister of Religious Science (RScM), or Interfaith Minister. Mystic Heart Practitioners and Ministers are credentialed through the Emerson Theological Institute, headquartered in Oakhurst, California. Emerson Institute is the educational arm of the Affiliated New Thought Network.
For more information about our Spiritual Education Program, please contact us.
Current Class
Rev. Diana is currently taking registrations for the third class of her Conscious Evolution Series:
Conversations with the Divine: An Exploration of Prayer
Join Rev. Diana every Wednesday, from March 22 – May 24, 2-5 pm for a deep dive into the Power of Prayer. In the author’s most personal book to date, Caroline Myss draws on her own practice to help us regain our fluency in the language of prayer and renew our connection to the sacred. Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore adds that “Prayer is more than asking God for help in this physical world; it opens our soul to receive a perpetual flow of life.” The books required for this class are: Intimate Conversations with the Divine by Carolyn Myss and Teach Us to Pray by Charles Fillmore. In addition, Rev. Diana will provide material intended to strengthen your affirmative prayer practice; and together, we will explore what it means to Pray AS, rather than Pray FOR. A pre-assignment will be sent prior to the first class.
Required Reading:
 |
Intimate Conversations with the Divine, by Carolyn Myss |  |
Teach Us to Pray, by Charles & Cora Fillmore |
Please email Rev. Diana if you are interested in the Professional Practitioner Program. This class series is also open to those who want more education, but do not wish to be credentialed practitioners.

Five Gifts for an Abundant Life!
This is an eight-week class in which you are invited to discover the simple steps you can take to take to bring a greater experience of abundance into your life! Abundance and prosperity, like success, are not just about having more money and things. Living an abundant life has to do with the quality and enjoyment of your time on this planet. What brings us this Joy? Greater love, peace of mind, health, and—yes—a certain degree of financial freedom helps. Diane Harmony outlines five “gifts” that we can give ourselves that will open us up to a whole new world of possibility—a more abundant, whole, and fulfilling life. With Chris Johnson, RScP.
Body, Mind, Spirit I: Radical Optimism: Practical Spirituality in an Uncertain World
Radical optimism is our deepest response to the immense and threatening challenges of our contemporary world. In this profound exposition of the truths of an integrated life, Radical Optimism challenges the reader to confront difficulty with authentic spirituality. Meditation, the practice of silence, and the body of mystical experience are all effective practices that help us transcend conditions and give us the means to live a loving life.
Author Beatrice Bruteau is both a brilliant synthesizer and an original thinker. She brings to bear her knowledge of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and science in this exploration of how to embrace the spirit of optimism in a world grown increasingly dark and fearful. With Rev. Diana.
Body, Mind, Spirit II: Shadow and Story
This class is a transformative journey, bringing greater alignment to body, mind, and spirit. Author Debbie Ford says, “All of your so-called faults, all the things which you don’t like about yourself are your greatest assets…They are simply over amplified. The volume has been turned up a bit too much, that’s all. Just turn down the volume a little. Soon, you—and everyone else—will see your weaknesses as your strengths, your negatives as your positives.” With Rev. Diana.
Body, Mind, Spirit III: Spiritual Intelligence
According to author Cindy Wigglesworth, Spiritual Intelligence is the ability to behave with wisdom and compassion while maintaining inner and outer peace regardless of the situation. Using clear, practical language she defines the 21 skills that comprise spiritual intelligence and in doing so, teaches you the steps to begin developing your own spiritual intelligence. With Rev. Diana.
