Established in 1988 at its present location in Atlanta, Georgia, the Karin Kabalah Center has expanded to become one of the leading esoteric/mystical teaching centers, not only locally, but also, nationally and internationally.

 

Its primary study course, Kabalah: A Process of Awakening is available as a home study course, as are many of the Center’s lectures and workshops. Also available to both local and national students is enrollment in the seminary program for ministry and priesthood in the St. Thomas Christian Church, a church in the mystical tradition, which uses Kabalah: A Process of Awakening as a major portion of the seminary curriculum.

​

The Center’s founder, Rev. Mother Shirley Chambers (August 18, 1934 – January 14, 2025) was a beloved friend and spiritual teacher whose life was a beacon of light to us all. While her earthly journey is complete, her legacy is eternal through the work of the Karin Kabalah Center. She continues to touch countless lives through her teachings, compassion, and vision, inspiring all who seek spiritual growth and healing. Shirley’s warmth, kindness, and unwavering dedication are deeply missed, but her love and wisdom remain with us, guiding those who continue to walk the path she illuminated.
