Founding Minister of   The Laguna Beach Church of Religious Science

The Center for Prosperous Living

The Academy For World Peace and World Prosperity

 

Rev. Di has been in  the Science of Mind teaching since the early 1980's. She is one of many alumni of the Huntington Beach Church of Religious Science with the late, Dr. Peggy Bassett. She first took SOM 100 and 200 classes with Dr. Peggy, then finally completed  the first year of practitioner with then Asst Minister, Dr Linda Mac Namar, after 4 attempts! The reason being, her life would, " take off",  and she'd get so busy and successful as a result of being in the practitioner class, she would have to restart it over four times to finally complete it

 

After working in the Biomedical Engineering field for over ten years, she pursued a successful career in technical writing.  During that time she volunteered, took course work towards becoming a Chemical Dependency Counselor, and interned as a DUI counselor for the National Counsul on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency, independent support groups,and eventually founded and became the Executive Director of  the Recovery Guide Communities- Serenity Ranch in Las Vegas, Nev. A 23 bed treatment facility for dully diagnosed clients.

 

Her other career directions took her to work in Juvenile Corrections for  youth with Psychological challanges, as a Psych Tech with children, adolescents , and geriatric patients.

 

She feels the combination of working in  human services,  and biomedical engineering, gives her a unique and excellent training backgroud in science and humanism for her ministry, and as a teacher of Science of Mind.

 

Rev. Di graduated from the RSI ministerial training and became licensed as a Religious Scienc Minister in 2004.

 She professes a passion for learning, and has a BA in Religious Studies, a  Masters Degree in Spiritual writing and publishing, and is continuing her studies to  obtain a PhD next year  from Emerson Institute by writing and producing a documentary film.

 She is the author of the  Prosperity Meditation Handbook, and Magnificent Demonstrations due out summer 2007.

 she is also developing a curriculum and workbook on the Prosperity Pioneers of New Thought.

 Rev. Di has created the World Peace and World Prosperity Seminars and Retreats, bases on the Law of Attraction, for corporate profit and non profit corporatons to raise the consciousness of everyone to the unlimited possibilities of a world without want or need.

She is also developing curriculum with Dr. Jane E Granskog and Dr Ann Yellott for the Institute for Prosperous Living 's CareerTractm Program which she developed .

 

Rev. Di is the visionary behind and for  the Center for Prosperous Living, and is very grateful for the opportunity to serve and teach the principles of Science of Mind, World Peace and Prosperity and 21st century Spirituality, to the Laguna Beach and  Coastal Communities of Southern California and beyond.

bodying Universal Truths and Empowering Full Potentials

In 1981 Rev Di was a Medic, and trained as an EMT, in the Air Force Reserve and the California Air National Guard. She joined to be part of the California Disaster Team.

During her basic training, she  assisted and supported  several young women during extremely tough emotional adjustments they were having in tech school and basic training, as a result, upon her return to regular reserve duty in California, she found she  was awarded the medal for leadership by the Governor of California for her outstanding leadership and service. She was also awarded a Commander's Commendation from the March Air Force Base Commander for Leadership. She has a BA in Religious Studies, and an M.A. in Spiritual writing and publishing from Emerson Theological Institute.

    

 

Rev. Di felt that her experiences in the Air Force Reserves was on of the most Spiritual awakening times of her life.
