Welcome to Vida Spiritual Learning Center
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering life learners to reveal and experience their best life through spiritual education and practice.
Live your best life! Our mission is to provide spiritual education and practice, that we may empower and inspire life learners to reveal and experience their best life. Our vision is to see all humanity live its divinity as whole, joyous, and all inclusive. We provide a space for connection, growth, and community through classes, groups, and individual coaching and support.
Our work is to enrich life on an individual and global scale by teaching life-affirming practices and philosophies. We do this because we see a world where everyone lives in accordance with their highest spiritual principle, valuing unity and connection with others; a world where we are all called to a deeper level of consciousness and responsible action, both individually and collectively. We value peace, equanimity, freedom, spirituality and science.
Vida Spiritual Learning Center exists for the community; as a love-minded and inclusive nonprofit, offering transformative educational and coaching support to people of all ages, sexes, races, and communities traditionally marginalized or underrepresented. We address the whole person so transformation is possible.
Ever expanding in our mission and service, we not only provide in person classes, support groups, and community outreach, we are committed to expand our reach through online communities, support, coaching calls, and ongoing messages of inspiration, growth, and empowerment.
There is a power for good in the Universe greater than you are, and you can use it.

Rev. Keven
Assistant Director
A little about my path. I was born and raised in central Pennsylvania. I have a bachelors of music from the University of Miami. Following college, I worked in music recording and production first in New York then LA. Along the way, I followed a passion for motor sports that lead to work as a driving instructor, coach, and race engineer.
My spiritual journey began studying A Course in Miracles with Marianne Williamson. I found my spiritual home at North Hollywood Church of Religious Science in 1999 and became a practitioner in 2003.
Answering the call to ministry, I studied at Holmes Institute and then Agape University under Rev. Michael Beckwith, earning a Masters degree in Consciousness Studies. I became a minister in 2008 and am an ordained minister with Centers for Spiritual Living.
I served as a staff minister at my home church in North Hollywood and as Senior Minister at Monterey Church of Religious Science. I am in my 7th year as Assistant Minister at Vida Spiritual Learning Center, formerly Downey Center for Spiritual Living.
The Science of Mind and Spirit continues to grow my consciousness and bless my life. My ministry is to share the Science of Mind and Spirit with everyone and help you live a great life.
