Rev Dr. Nadene Rogers has led seminars and workshops for schools, businesses, and organizations dedicated to the well-being & creative expression of the human spirit for the past 40 years. Well known in the western provinces for having birthed Canada’s first clown School, “So You Wanna Be A Clown,” And Shenanigans Agency in 1987, she wrote, produced & toured a one-woman /clown show called “Project Crossroads.” This production reflected Nadene’s personal journey through the exploration of both the dark and light sides of substance abuse.

In 1997 she graduated as a licensed Religious Science Minister and, following a 5-year Staff Minister letter of call with the Calgary Centre for Positive Living, became the founding senior minister of the Calgary JOY of Life Centre (2002), was ordained (2006) and continued to serve until her retirement in January 2016. As spiritual leader of the JOY of Life Centre, Rev. Nadene was highly involved in outreach efforts that brought other New Thought Centers and not-for-profits together in service to the greater community. Some of the Programs she initiated and grew were The Shoe Inn, providing new shoes for Calgary Youth in Need to help them walk a little taller; the Calgary New Thought Alliance, The Season for Non-Violence - citywide programming and Concerts; and the Teens of Distinction Annual Awards, a peer-voted, public school selection for those who excelled in INNER Achievement.
Additionally, Rev. Nadene was the founding Executive Director of the ‘Teens of Distinction Society,’ where she guided and celebrated teens’ spiritual growth. Through a desire to serve and support the human spirit in our senior community, Rev. Nadene founded The Seniors DREAMWISH Foundation, developing programming to assist in the relief of isolation and poverty, and mounted a weekly radio show on Voice America called: Minding You Business, Creating a Spiritual Economy, Since retirement from her pulpit, Rev. Nadene has relocated to West Kelowna to take her ministry on the road. In 2018 she toured throughout the NW States and Alberta as both a keynote and workshop facilitator on the topic of: A Lighter Look at a Serious Subject: ME!
Throughout her ministerial career, Rev. Nadene has remained in service to our Centers for Spiritual Living organization. Formerly the Chair of the RSI Golden Works Committee (3yrs), CSL Phoenix Bridge Committee (10 yrs.), The Ministers and Practitioners Licensing Committee (5 yrs.), and recently termed out on the CSL Retired Ministers Committee (4 yrs.), Nadene’s passion continues to be supporting ministers going through times of challenge and change and honoring and celebrating our elder ministers. She has conducted the formal ‘Exit Interviews’ for all ministers leaving their letters of call, sat on numerous ordination and affiliation Panels, co-chaired one of our International Conferences, and has contributed as a speaker, workshop facilitator, and music coordinator at several of CSL’s events and conferences.
Rev. Nadene was bestowed an Honorary Doctorate in 2020, for her exemplary service to the Organization and contributions to the New Thought Movement.
In February 2024, at the CSL Convention in Charleston, SC, she was recognized and received the Minister Meritorious Award for 2023.
She recently completed her 3rd Interim Ministry position at CSL Columbia in Columbia MD. She lives at home on the lakefront in West Kelowna, British Columbia, with her partner Maureen of 20 yrs.
"We live in a field of Infinite Creative Intelligence within which all possibility exists; therefore, there is always a spiritual solution to
every perceived problem."
The professional Practitioner is a master at using the Spiritual Laws of the Universe through the art and science of Spiritual Mind Treatment, helping to reveal, the innate creative potential in us All. Using a professional Practitioner is the beginning of a powerful change for the Good in your life, a change that leaves us feeling empowered with greater capacity, appreciation, gratitude and positive, healthy expectancy!
Above all, a Practitioner is an individual who has profoundly developed their own understanding of, and connection to, the underlying Universe. Skilled at bringing their consciousness and attention out of the material world, they are able to align their energy with universal principles such as wholeness, joy, and harmony.
When working with a client, the Practitioner is specifically trained to be a compassionate, neutral observer, an effective listener, and a source both of spiritual perspective and the tools with which to transcend and transform the challenges of life. Through years of study and application of spiritual principles, they are quick to identify the false subconscious belief patterns in their client and are able to apply the corresponding universal principle needed to reverse those false beliefs. This shifts the client’s perception and begins to create new life experiences and conditions.
