REV. LINDA FINLEY received her early spiritual education in the Methodist and Presbyterian churches but she knew that mainstream “church” was not for her.
She was in her forties when she found Deepak Chopra and metaphysics, which led her to the Spiritual Awareness Center in Visalia, California. She felt as if she had “come home.” The concepts of Unity and Wholeness resonated to the depths of her being.
In addition to attending services each week, she began taking Science of Mind classes, while volunteering to be in service at the Center.
She became a Practitioner in 1997, and a minister in 1999, when she founded the Center for Spiritual Living in Petaluma, California.
Linda was hired as the Spiritual Director of the Eugene Center for Spiritual Living at the end of 2006.
