Welcome to the Abiding Spirit Center
The Abiding Spirit Center, located in Crystal Lake - Illinois, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing resources that focus on empowering the individual, improving health and strengthening relationships through the use of natural, traditional and creative avenues which utilize mind, body, spirit connections.
We serve the communities of McHenry, Lake, Cook, Kane and Will Counties, IL, including Crystal Lake, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, Elgin, Carpentersville, Cary, Woodstock, Huntley and other nearby cities.
The primary goal of the Abiding Spirit Center is to bring traditional wellness activities to our community, reaching out to as many people as have interest. The classes and resources offered at the Center are not a means to an end. They are “a means to a way” that can lead one to a healthier, more balanced life through such things as Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Aikido (the way of harmony of the spirit), and specialized meditation and Yoga workshops, as well as other activities and services.

Dear Friends,
We wanted to share the wonderful news that we have moved to a new home, at 380 N. Terra Cotta Road, Suite J. We are sure you all will be as excited about our new space as we are!
Acupuncture services are still available on a limited basis, due to Covid-19. Please be assured that we take precautions for everyone's safety very seriously, and know we have strict protocols in place to protect us all.
Aikido classes and meditation sessions, being different in nature, are currently being offered via Zoom, in an abundance of caution.
Lisa Sensei, Michelle Sensei, and Jim Sensei are brilliant at encouraging students on the mat as well as off. They have made themselves readily available and have offered homework, solo practice suggestions, and infinite ways to continue the practice of Aikido outside of the Center.
The Abiding Spirit Center is a place of sanctity. It has offered us healing, comfort, solace and answer.
Let's continue to do this from our new home!
If there is interest in supporting the Center through this trying time, please CLICK HERE.
May you all be safe, healthy, at ease, and whole.
With love and gratitude for you, your friendship and support,
Michelle & Lisa
Co-Founders of the Abiding Spirit Center
