A Virtual Center for
Spiritual Living

Rev Dr Ann Ronan

My spiritual awakening began as so many do, in fits and spurts throughout my life…mostly when things were going really badly.

At age 44, I was facing the most difficult decision I had ever made…to leave my 20 year relationship/marriage….my husband who I loved so much was alcoholic and not ready to face that…

The decision to leave cracked open my heart ….a friend suggested I attend the Claremont Center for Spiritual Living Sunday service….said there were a lot of "positive" people there and I might get an emotional lift.

I did ….and was amazed and moved…everything said by the minister fit my beliefs…and hearing "truth" made tears roll down my eyes….

I sat in the back pew…didn't raise my hand when they asked who was a new visitor….because I was steadily crying…

I sat in the back for 3 Sundays, crying, before I summoned up enough courage to call the minister and ask for an appointment. I needed help…

That one session with her helped me begin healing immediately….and though it took a full year before I fully felt over my grief…I was able to live with it without resentment toward my husband.

That fall I signed up for the "Foundations" class….and never stopped taking classes…I was insatiable as I began cultivating my personal relationship with God. The vision began to pull.

That visit to the Claremont Center changed my life. I found even more passion for my businesses, I began generating income far greater than I had previously imagined possible, I learned to open my heart and be vulnerable and I met a community of people who truly make me feel that I am "home."

That fateful first visit to the Center eventually led to my answering the call to become a minister. The money and time I needed for the three year, full-time ministry program appeared….as I needed it…and I enjoyed the remarkable journey.

Just when I thought the path was certain, life sent me on yet another detour of deepening my faith and opening myself to surrender… I met a wonderful man, Ted, married him and moved to a town where I had wanted to live for the last 10 years.

I invite you to join me on the next leg of the journey….as I serve as minister through this virtual community ….meeting by phone and email to support each other in living an authentic, joy filled life.
