Well I'm an atheist but I find the quality of their online lectures on history and theology to be quite exceptional. Packed with interesting material and well researched and delivered. I've learned a lot without being preached at at all - I'd highly recommend to anyone. They're very inclusive too.

This is THE place to go if you are looking to 'center' yourself, &/or learn more on a variety of aspects of history as it pertains to theology. To say that Center Place is run by good people is a genuine understatement! Of the dozens of meditation 'leads' I have ever experienced, Leandros consistently comes out in the top 3 of all time❣️

A welcoming and inclusive space for connecting in community with others through authentic conversation, meaningful activities and holistic wellness practices. A sleek, modern and stylish place for gatherings workshops, presentations, meditation and more, including a kitchen to service socializing with coffee, tea, snacks and meals, all with warm and friendly hosts.

Unusually well, prepared lectures on history, especially impressed by the lectures on lost Christianities and scriptures. I have shared this discovery with friends who have similar curiosities.

I listened to a couple of their presentations and found them to be thoughtful and accurate. Looking forward to watching more in the near future.
