Science of Mind Africa (SOMA) was born from a vision that Science of Mind teachings could grow beyond one country and become a source of spiritual empowerment across the African continent. During visioning for the 2024 Science of Mind conference, many participants saw Kenya as a pulsing heart sending waves of spiritual awakening throughout Africa. That image stayed alive as a call to expand the teaching beyond Kenya and into a wider African context.

​

In January 2025, that call became clear. After prayer and deep listening in the early hours of the morning, Michele Taylor LSP, received the inspiration to begin what was first called the East Africa Science of Mind Study Group. By the next morning, the process had begun. As conversations unfolded with African leaders and students, it became clear that the vision was larger than East Africa alone. The name evolved into Science of Mind Africa (SOMA)—a name that reflected both the breadth of the vision and the commitment to growing an African-led spiritual community rooted in Science of Mind principles.

​

SOMA officially became a Science of Mind Study Group on April 15, 2025, and continued to grow quickly through translation projects, classes, leadership development, and community outreach. By November 2025, SOMA had become an official Centers for Spiritual Living Teaching Chapter. What began as a spiritual idea has become a living movement—dedicated to teaching, translating, and sharing Science of Mind across Africa while nurturing empowered leaders, thriving communities, and a deeper experience of spiritual freedom.
