ACIM 10 min. video clips by Ken Wapnick

More than 150 short videos (roughly 10 min. each) on every possible ACIM topic you can think of…

 

Watch Dr. Kenneth Wapnick lecture on a selection of "A Course in Miracles" topics on YouTube.com

 

More on Ken and his Foundation:

Kenneth Wapnick taught and wrote about A Course in Miracles for more than 35 years, publishing more than 30 books and over 200 audio and video recordings of his classes and lectures, some works authored with his wife, Gloria. He is widely regarded as the world’s foremost teacher of the Course, which he has said is the most important spiritual document for our age. Kenneth, with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, was an associate of Dr. Helen Schucman, scribe of the Course, and Dr. William Thetford, Helen’s close friend, colleague, and collaborator in the scribing. Kenneth worked with Helen for over a year preparing the Course for publication.

In 1983, Kenneth and Gloria began the Foundation for A Course in Miracles in Ardsley NY, which moved to Crompond NY, then Roscoe NY, Temecula (Ca.) and is now located in Henderson, Nevada. The Foundation’s principal purpose over the years has been to assist students in understanding the Course through classes, discussion groups, and written, audio, video, and digital publications. The depth of Ken’s understanding of the Course’s thought system, his clarity and humor, and his constant demonstration of the Course’s gentle message of peace thru forgiveness continue to attract large numbers of people to his writings and recordings. It is the Foundation’s mission since Ken’s passing in December of 2013 to assure that his truly remarkable legacy of teachings continues to be available, now and for future generations.

Three New Weekly One Hr. Zoom Sessions… will be added to SFACIM Schedule (starting Sun. Sept. 21, 2025)

Three New One Hour Zoom Sessions:

(starting on  9/21/25)

 

 

 

Due to the current, and seemingly worsening, global crises happening on our planet: including the financial, climatic, and political “pandemics” that are in our faces both personally and in the news…

Starting on Sept. 21, 2025:

Three new weekly  One Hour online sessions will be added to our weekly schedule, to help us all stay more balanced and peaceful in our minds thru the process of forgiveness as defined in ACIM, now and during any rough times ahead.

 MEETINGS ON

 

The proposed times

for these one hour online sessions,

beginning Sept. 21st, the day before fall equinox…

========

Evenings: 

 Sundays (starting 9/21) @ 6:30pm Mt with Tim (especially formatted for newcomers to A Course in Miracles)

Mornings: 

Mondays (starting 9/23) @ 9:30am Mt with Tim & Friends

  Fridays (starting 9/26) @ 9:30am Mt. with Marisa

=========

All of these sessions are free and all are welcome to attend! 

Please click here for the Zoom link  to all our weekly 90 min. classes and these 60 min. discussion sessions.

These sessions will be shorter, unrecorded and more informal (with probably fewer folks attending and more time for discussion)… than our other regular weekly structured 90 minute classes.

The topic of each session will be up to the facilitator, with the focus on a few selected paragraphs from ACIM and how we use the process of forgiveness as expressed in ACIM in our dealings with all our perceived classrooms in the world, whether personal or global.

Our reactions to these people and situations are always all simply a reflection of which ‘teacher’ or guide in my mind (the ego or the Holy Spirit) that I am choosing to follow in how I see the world and myself.  Think of  Teilhard de Chardin’s standing on the edge of a horrific WW I battle scene, and still seeing and experiencing the beauty of God, beyond the seeming horror of the war.

———————————————–

Sundays @ 6:30pm Mt. will be especially geared for any people new or fairly new to A Course in Miracles… that may attend.

An understanding of Ken Wapnick’s chart and teachings on ACIM, before attending any of these one hr discussions, would be both helpful and appreciated.

If you are new to School for a Course in Miracles, please check out some of our introductory videos before attending our one hr. sessions or our 90 min. classes on Zoom:

(Click Here)

** As with our regular weekly classes, the purpose of these new sessions are not for participants to present their own personal ideas about what the Course means, or other spiritualities,

… but to begin to understand the ACIM approach to forgiveness, and how to practice it (based on Ken Wapnick’s teachings on ACIM). Thanks!
