2026 CSL  Global Theme: Open at the Top

​Ernest Holmes consistently reminds us that Science of Mind must remain a living teaching: “Shorn of dogmatism, freed from superstition, Open at the Top for greater illumination, unbound and unlimited,” (Science of Mind Magazine Oct. 1971 pg. 16) yet grounded in timeless spiritual principles. He cautions us against closing our minds through certainty and instead urges us to stop, look, listen, and ask ourselves, “Does this that I believe measure up to Truth?” For Holmes, being Open at the Top means cultivating curiosity, embracing doubt as part of our path, and trusting that new wisdom and greater illumination are always available to us if we are open to it. It is a call to live in the creative “What If,” to stretch beyond what is comfortable, and to embody a spirituality that grows, questions, and evolves with us and the world.

As a spiritual movement, being Open at the Top means embodying our Global Vision: a world that works for everyone and all of creation. It invites us to live as one global family, honoring the interconnectedness of all life, embracing diversity, and choosing love and connection over righteousness. It calls us to personal responsibility and social conscience, to sustainable and just practices, and to the joyful, creative expression of Spirit through us. To be Open at the Top in 2026 is to release outdated practices and fear-based thinking, to honor ancestral wisdom while welcoming new visions, and to live from the eternal Truth that Love is forever creating, forever becoming, and forever expressing through each of us.

Every month is designed to address the theme from four different perspectives or lenses: Personal Outer & Inner, and Collective Outer & Inner. The order in which these perspectives are taken changes from month to month, allowing for a fresh and dynamic unfolding of each theme. No matter the order, all four perspectives are engaged, ensuring that each theme is experienced as both deeply personal and broadly collective, both inward and outward in its expression. Once a quarter, during the months with five Sundays, a fifth perspective is added: Oneness. This lens takes a big picture view of the entire quarter, drawing the threads together to highlight our shared wholeness and unity.

OCTOBER Theme: DANCING WITH THE SHADOW

This month, we’re exploring the importance of honoring the shadow and embracing our whole selves exactly as we are. One of the most powerful yet challenging ideas we teach is that we are whole, perfect, and complete as is. Many of us struggle with this because we’ve been conditioned to equate perfection with flawlessness and to believe that positivity is the only “spiritual” state. Shadow work invites us to discover, embrace, and integrate the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden, rejected, repressed or feared. These are often shaped by past experiences, traumas, and cultural expectations about what is acceptable. When we ignore these aspects, they can erupt in painful ways, often when we least expect it.

Week 1- Title: Clogging with my Shadow


About: Ever feel like shadow work is just stomping in place, stuck and frustrated? What if you could turn that energy into a joyful clog dance? Together, we’ll move through shadow with laughter, healing, and self-acceptance. Because facing our shadows doesn’t have to be heavy—sometimes, they just want to dance. Join us and discover the fun, messy, beautiful journey of shadow work!

Week 2- Title: The Shadow Tango


About: Our lives are filled with many relationships including family, friends, partners, colleagues, acquaintances, and even interactions with strangers. They can be complex, messy, beautiful, difficult, exciting, and transformative. We are not meant to be

alone, so how can we truly approach all relationships with authenticity and an understanding of the truth that we are all One? This week, we are dancing The Shadow Tango together.

Week 3- Title: Boot Scooting Shadow Boogie


About: Sometimes we get so focused on our individual healing that we forget we're not here alone. Like a line dance where we move in rhythm with others, our personal growth contributes to the healing of the whole. Even when we’re not physically connected, we’re spiritually entangled. The collective unhealed shadow of our world affects every one of us. And when we do our inner work, it changes the field for everyone as well. This week, we tune into the shared shadow and learn how to move with one another to reveal, heal, and integrate it, not just for ourselves, but for the world we are co-creating together.

Week 4- Title: Shadow Dance Battle


About: The world is in a full-on dance battle, and we are all part of the choreography. Oppression, disconnection, and domination are rising to the surface of our awareness in systems, governments, economies, and institutions. These patterns, shaped by generations of trauma and fear, are calling to be healed. This week, we courageously face the collective shadow as part of our spiritual path, stepping together toward justice, healing, and the co-creation of a world that works for all.
