CLASS: What is my True Purpose? In this class we explore the following questions: Why am I
here? What is my purpose? Am I where I'm suppose to be? ACIM teaches that we all play an important part in the
plan for salvation. We are asked to say "yes" to the true purpose of our life and to fulfill our special function which is
tailored to our own strengths and abilities. We must be willing to let go of our limiting beliefs that block the flow of
this Divine plan unfolding in our life. Included is a 30-day healing journey which helps with the process of healing and
fulfilling your part of the plan. Click here: True Purpose Audio File
CLASS: Holy Encounters- Close Encounters of the Loving Kind
ACIM teaches that each time we greet someone it is an opportunity to gladden ourselves. With having 20 or so
encounters per day, that is allot of happiness to be had! Why is it that most often instead of feeling joy when
encountering each other, we feel a disconnect, or frustrated, or rushed to get our point heard before having to move
on to our next encounter. Think of all the missed opportunities we have to bring more joy into our everyday life. This
class explores the Course's teaching on holy encounters and how an interaction with another can actually bring to us
the reminder of our holiness and make our hearts leap with joy. This class offers a process that can be used when
interacting with another that is simple and offers great rewards. Click Here: Holy Encounter Audio File


Class: Waking From the Dream -A Course In Miracles teaches that we are in an "illusion" or "dream
state". This is an abstract idea that is challenging to grasp, yet it is the foundation of the Course's teachings. In this
class we explore how we can begin to conceptualize the term "dream". This exploration allows us to springboard into
looking at the undoing of our identity or image that we treasure in the dream; for it is the belief in this little "self" that
is giving rise to our experiences of suffering, pain and lack of peace. Included in this audio is a process to use when
faced with pain, suffering, sadness, guilt and the many other forms that are present when our minds have fallen
asleep and believe we are this little "self". This process brings a new experience that will teach us the truth of who
we are. Having new experiences begins to dismantle the reality of the dream and this leads to our waking up.

Class: The Search for Happiness- As holy children of God, we are meant to be joyful and yet we
find that for the most part, our experiences are not ones of joy. A Course In Miracles recognizes that we have grown
tired and weary from the endless search to find happiness and peace in this world. It states that the reason we
cannot find it is not because it can't be found, but because we are looking in the wrong place. The Course gives us a
path that leads to where our true happiness lies, but first we must be willing to stop looking where it cannot be
found. This class helps us identify when we have sought out an idol, how to release the desire for it and where we
can find what it is we are truly searching for. We also explore how our belief in guilt is the reason why the idols
never "save us" and how healing our minds of this guilt is the way to experience the joy that is our natural
inheritance.

Class: Passing Through the Barrier of Fear- We all have had the experience of fear. When it
shows itself we try to run from it, master it or plow through it, only to have it reappear, like a plastic ball your trying to
keep under the water but hard as you try, it keeps popping up. This class explores why we have fear and how fear is
the barrier that needs to be passed through in order to know our True Self. We then explore how passing through
the barrier of fear is exactly what we want to do because it is our soul's true desire to know Thyself. ACIM teachings
gives us a way to approach fear when it comes up and pass through it with the Guide of the Holy Spirit. The Course
explains that all fear is the result of a mistaken belief that we are alone and separate. If we ask for a healing of our
perception, we realize we truly have nothing to fear. Included in this class is a process that you can apply to
whatever is giving rise to fear in your life. The Course uses Love to dispel all fear and when you access this within
your own mind, love truly does conquer all. Click here: Passing Through The Barrier of Fear Audio File

Class: I Want To Experience Peace-An Exploration of Thoughts and Beliefs
In many spiritual circles we often hear the idea that what is showing up in our lives is a result of our beliefs. In other
words; it is our beliefs that are the cause of our experiences. If you are continually getting the same experience in
your life (i.e. Everyone rejects me, I'm always being attacked, No one listens to me.....just to name a few), the
solution is to "Change your mind, change your life". It sounds good in theory but what happens for most of us is that
our experiences keep reinforcing our belief. It is challenging to believe something is not true when it is currently
showing up in our life! The Course teaches that it is our mind that is dictating our experiences but also recognizes
that it is our experience that needs to change in order to release the belief. The Course's method of healing our
beliefs is through reinterpreting what everything means. Giving new meaning to our experiences, ushers in a new
experience and this is what heals our mind of its limiting beliefs. Included in this class is a process for healing our
beliefs which can be applied to any situation. Using this process, coupled with your willingness to let go = a new
experience of peace. And isn't that what we are all searching for?

Class: Manifesting - The "secret" is out....we can manifest anything we truly desire using the power of
our mind! But what does the Course say about this new/old discovery? What does the author of the Course teach
about manifesting? This class explores manifesting and the power of the mind from the Course's perspective. It's
teaching introduces a new way to look at manifesting and how we are to walk in the world as holy children of God.
We also explore the question: How do I get my needs met? If you have a perceived need you can use the process
given in class to release the need to the Holy Spirit in order to meet your true need. We also take some class time
to explore "following your bliss". This is quite different than manifesting your desires and seeing it as a way to
express the Divine within you; you can quickly uncover and remove the blocks to what is trying to express itself in
your life. Click here: Manifesting Audio File

Class: The Body: Seeing It Differently - This class explores how the body came to be, what
purpose the ego assigns to the body and how by our agreement to use the body for the ego's goals, we experience
sickness, attack and separation. Now that we find ourselves in a body; are we doomed to live out the assignment
given it? The Course teaches that all form (including the body) can be used by the Holy Spirit to heal our minds. We
don't have to continue to hate our bodies for now they have a new purpose assigned by the Holy Spirit. If we are
willing to give its purpose over to the Holy Spirit, the body is released from its role of attacker, and can be the
vehicle in which we reach other minds to heal. This class teaching gives us a way to look on others and see past
the body to the truth of Who they are. Seeing the Reality in every form acts like a "mirror effect" for us. When we
see the truth about others, we see the truth about ourselves.

Class: Prayer - This class explores the many questions we have around prayer. Are prayers answered?
To whom are we to pray? What should we pray for? Does God hear our prayers? These questions feel very
important to us because we believe prayer is the way we communicate with God while in a body. We want
reassurances that God is really there for us and taking care of us. This class explores the answers to these
questions through looking at the Course's teachings on prayer. We use the ladder analogy to see how we climb
from one level of asking to another, taking our awareness higher and higher until we reach the original form of
prayer: communication with our Divine Creator.

Class: Fear This class was taught with an interpreter for the deaf and hard of hearing community. Fear is
a universal feeling. It is something we can all relate to and something that we all struggle to combat; especially in
our world today where everything appears to be unstable. In this class we begin by exploring the many disguises
of fear and the many ways we try to 'get out of' fear (that do not work). We then journey to the real problem that
underlies all of fear and the answer the Course gives us to dispel fear. We go through a short process that when
followed can work miracles.
