Local Spiritual Center Offers Weight Loss Groups
Spirituality can mean many different things to different people. Ultimately, spirituality should have a positive impact on a person’s life and their ability to thrive. One aspect of improvement that can be aided through spirituality is weight loss. At the Oakland Center for Spiritual Living we offer assistance in weight loss in a supportive group setting.
We are a group of diverse and welcoming people who strive to grow together spiritually individually and collectively. Our center offers regular services that are open to the public, as well as many outward-facing ministries designed to enrich our lives and the lives of people in our community.
Our weight loss groups offer many great benefits to those who want to develop a new relationship with food and their bodies. In the sections to follow, we discuss a few key characteristics of our weight loss groups and explain why they are the ideal setting for you to thrive in.
Supportive Environment
We strive to support each other with caring and confidentiality in every aspect of our spiritual center, and our weight loss groups are no different. During our sessions, we communicate, hold each other accountable, and share in our victories and struggles. Having a strong support system is key to reaching any personal improvement goals, and you will find this in our groups.
Proven Curriculum
Our weight loss groups practice the curriculum of Marianne Williamson’s book, A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever. This text has helped countless people overcome weight issues; in addition, it has proven to help a person grow spiritually if they follow its teachings. In our sessions, we discuss the text, practice structured meditation, write down our feelings, and do our best to create a new relationship with food, our bodies, and our spirituality.
Open to All
In everything we do at the Oakland Center for Spiritual Living, we want everyone to feel welcome. We have people from different religious backgrounds and many ethnicities represented in our weight loss groups, and we are proud of the diversity of our groups. We feel this diversity helps everyone gain a deeper respect and understanding for others, and only makes our group stronger. Any ministry we have is open to all, and we know you will feel right at home with our participants.
Develop Personal and Spiritual Growth
While weight loss is an obvious goal of these groups, the main goal is becoming the best version of yourself. This means becoming more aware of the world around you, developing a better understanding of others, and deepening your overall spirituality. By doing these things and remaining focused on weight loss, you can gain a new outlook on life and become a healthier person physically, mentally, and spiritually.
If you want to become the best version of yourself and shed weight while doing so, we would love to welcome you to our weight loss group. To learn more, check out our website or give us a call today to get started.
