This video is beautifully done. I feel a sense of hopefulness at the thought of such a program being offered on-line in these most amazing times.
Bless you all in your work!” – Jai Ma!
Please Note! Our current class (started 5/1/12) is completely full! We are grateful for this strong support for our school. Applications submitted now will be considered for next year’s class (begins 5/1/13).
The Center for Sacred Studies Ministry Training Program is a two-year online school that can lead to ordination as a Minister of Prayer who can perform weddings, officiate at funerals, and provide support in the many transitions of life. Our students have described this program as “a major life experience”, “an amazing, powerful and transformative course,” and “an anchor, a beacon of light, and a circle of friends.”

Substantial Offering
The two-year online and on-site program consists of 22 monthly audio and video modules, four breathwork workshops, and two five-day retreats held at Wildwood Retreat Center, about 2 hours north of San Francisco in the beautiful coastal redwoods.
Each full-time student has a Mentor, and there are two hour-long conference calls per month: one with the instructor, and one with the CSS Spiritual Director, Jyoti.
How can you touch someone else’s life?
Learning Options
The Ministry Training Program has two tracks – auditing and ordination. The ordination track requires monthly written essays and active participation in the monthly calls and assignments. The auditing option has reduced requirements and does not lead to ordination, but auditors still have access to all the audio and video content.
What do we live for if not to make life less difficult for each other?
Ministerial Training and Grandmother Wisdom
The ministry offers wisdom from our 13 indigenous grandmothers as well as other grandmother elders from around the world. Every month, a Grandmother from the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers also provides video and audio instruction.
