About Us

Pebble Beach

Our purpose is to foster healing and wholeness in mind, body, heart, and spirit. We inspire connection and wellbeing through learning opportunities, counseling, mentoring, mindful travel, and outdoor and cultural adventures.  

 

​

Center for Spiritual Engagement (CSE) experiences offer the opportunity to be challenged to look at the world through a wider lens, to develop authentic relationships, to explore the beauty of nature, and to foster well-being for yourself and for others.

 

CSE has grown from a simple vision created by a group of colleagues and friends more than a decade ago - to respond to the need for greater meaning and connection, to address integration of all aspects of life - mind, body, heart and spirit - and align purpose, values, and actions that lead to health and wholeness. The following core values are the foundation for our work: 

Our Core Values

​
Connection

We believe in the powerful, healing dynamics of community.
As we engage in reflection, self-discovery, listening, and new experiences, we become more aware of our interconnectedness.
This awareness inspires more purposeful stewardship for the benefit of the people and issues that matter most to us. 

 

Wholeness

Our purpose is to foster healing and wholeness of mind, body, and spirit. Whole-hearted engagement in life develops integrated
wellbeing and generates a compelling spirit of gratitude and compassion toward ourselves, others, and the earth.​

 

Authenticity

We are dedicated to integrity and honesty in who we are and what we do.
Authenticity enriches our lives by helping us connect with ourselves and others in a courageous, real way.​

 

Inspiration

We value experiences that spark clarity of purpose, creativity, vibrancy, laughter, courage, and thoughtful action.
Inspiration is central to the formation of a more loving world.

 

Transformation

We believe purposeful learning and reflection lead to meaningful transformation of individuals, organizations, and communities.​

 

Generosity

As we are renewed in our own wellbeing, our generosity of spirit, warm hospitality, and compassionate service expand to reach others.
We believe in creating experiences that honor every person and inspire a sense of welcome, beauty, and acceptance.
Gracious space supports necessary inner growth and invites people to bring their whole selves - mind, body, heart, and spirit - to meaningful learning.

 

Justice

We honor our shared humanity and the earth that sustains us.
We nurture wholeness and healing by supporting systems and relationships
where all people and the planet can thrive with dignity—now and for future generations.
