Soul Centered Solutions
Fund Purpose
Soul Centered Solutions is a nonprofit incubator fund meaning the fund will be used to establish an independent nonprofit 501c3.
More Info
Mission:
Soul Centered Solutions (SCS) is dedicated to helping people access and apply the profound resources of Higher Consciousness to the felt needs and areas of struggle and challenge that characterize our everyday lives. SCS is in service to the great planetary shift that is currently taking place, a shift from ego-centered living to Soul-centered living, from living from fear and separation, to living from Wisdom and Love in service to the well-being of all.
Purpose:
SCS operates from the understanding that the Universe is a multitudinous expression of a single Supreme Consciousness, called by many names, and yet beyond all names. As such all things contain some spark of this One Consciousness, however deeply buried. ‘Soul,’ as we use the term, is the Presence of that Consciousness that can be found in the heart of all beings.
It is the purpose of SCS to help people to discover and align with their Souls. ‘Soul-alignment’ is a process of perceiving that Presence within and aligning one’s thoughts, words, values, and actions with the Wisdom, Power, and Love of that Presence. Soul-alignment is a deep and pervasive reorientation in how we view ourselves and others. It is not a philosophy, but a deeply experiential shift in the center from which we operate, resulting in radical changes in how we see and feel about ourselves, how we interact with others, and how we relate to the world at large. We believe that the next stage of human evolution is to live Soul-aligned, or Soul-centered, rather than ego-centered.
Action:
SCS accomplishes this purpose in the following ways:
- Sessions with individuals — highly experiential sessions that progressively move from learning to heal the deep wounds of the past, to shifting one’s identity to that of the Soul, that is, a unique expressions of Divine Truth and Love.
- Work with groups — an extension of individual work, but with the benefit of practically applying the principle of ‘Oneness’: that others are extensions of one’s self, that care for oneself can be of benefit to others, and that care for others can richly enhance our own lives.
- Classes — multi-week classes that equip participants with conceptual understanding, as well as skills in the spiritual practices that cultivate Soul-alignment and measurable shifts in expanded consciousness.
- Satsangs — gatherings around spiritual practices designed to generate glimpses of our Inner Light and inspiration regarding how to live from that Light in the world.
- Consulting in organizations — practically applying the principles and practices of Soul-alignment to the organizational culture and functioning.
- Collaboration with other individuals and organizations that share the common goal of being of service to the evolution of human consciousness and the transformation of global systems around the truth of our true nature and our responsibility to support and care for one another.

George Maderos Junior Golf Scholarship Program
Fund Purpose
To assist young people who display a passion and talent (in the sport of golf) and are in need of financial help to pay for golf equipment and attire, travel and lodging expenses, and entry fees to junior tournaments.
More Info
George was born (in 1933) and raised in Chico. He grew up in a foster home with his two brothers following the death of his father when George was in the 1st grade. When George became a teenager he had the good fortune of being steered in the right direction through sports. It turned out he had enormous talent in every sport he tried and he played and lettered in 4 sports at Chico State. Chico was a very small town in the 1950's and a tight-knit community. The local people loved following George's sports and were extremely supportive of him in many ways. After college, he went on to play 2 years for the SF 49ers in 1955-1957 and quit to accept a teaching job at Chico State because it paid more money! Imagine that! George coached football at Chico State for 11 years and taught in the PE department for over 35 years. He took up golf soon after he quit coaching and played the game for the rest of his life, and like all the other sports he played, he was a very accomplished golfer. He passed away in February 2017 and has left a lasting legacy in our community. I was fortunate to have met George on December 6, 1980, and our first date was the next day when we attended a 49er alumni gathering in SF. We married in January 1994. Despite all his many accomplishments, he was a very quiet and humble man. My life has been enriched by being with him and watching how he lived his life. I am very excited to be able to help establish a golf scholarship program in George's name. It seems a fitting tribute to him for me to try and lend assistance to some of our youth, just like the Chico community helped George when he was young. Debbie Maderos
