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: How to Have a Holy Interaction With Everyone We Meet
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: This Life is but a 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.

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.

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.

CLASS: Relationships: The Ego's Playground or Holy Spirit's Healing Garden? You Decide.
We all are in relationship in one form or another, whether it be with a partner, a parent, a child, a co-worker or a friend. Our relationships
seem to vacillate between ego driven goals which result in confusion and conflict and the goal of truly joining together in unity and peace.
How can we be more consistent in choosing peace instead of conflict; unity instead of separation? Is there a way to heal through our
relationships? In this teaching we learn of the ego purpose of relationship, how to change our minds about what relationships are for
and how to notice and release the hidden beliefs that block true communion with each other and with God.
