School for A Course in Miracles Winter Class Schedule

“Daily Application of the Course on the Way to Our Resurrection”:

This  Spring Course Intensive includes a three night stay. Our Christmas retreat was only two overnights. In this extended time together we will  explore what it means to live the Course daily, on the way to accepting our own resurrection. We will compare the way the world sees spiritual daily practice and resurrection with the Course’s radically different views of both. Our resurrection is already accomplished and simply awaits our acceptance, but how? What does the practical day-by-day living of the Course look like?

Every moment we decide between crucifixion and resurrection. That sounds like a heavy responsibility until we learn what that actually means. Then it becomes our joyful profession. Come and learn to fulfill our one function as a teacher of God.

---

The Place:

The retreat will take place at the lovely retreat facility, the Franciscan Center, in Colorado Springs. The cost of rooms at the Center has risen somewhat since our Christmas retreat there. However we believe that it is the best retreat place around, nestled in a beautiful setting in the foothills of the Rockies, and still at a great price.

---

Facilitators:

 

 

Attendance is limited to 20 participants to make it a small, personal, and intimate experience.

---

Cost and Room Options:

The cost per person for the entire Intensive (four days/three nights) in a single room is $440, and in a double room with 2 twin beds $360 .

Each price per person will include:

• two group sessions a day on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and a final morning session on Wednesday,
• all the meals ( Sunday dinner through Wed. breakfast)
• lodging for three nights,
• one-on-one mentoring sessions if requested, and
• optional evening showings of “forgiveness” films based on very moving true life stories.

All are welcome, including new and ongoing Course students, however previous understanding of basic Course metaphysics and Ken Wapnick’s chart is both helpful and encouraged.

Refunds: The only way we would be able to refund one day to two weeks prior to retreat (since all funds are locked into registration with Franciscan Center with reserving rooms, meals, meeting rooms, etc. fourteen days prior to retreat) is if the Franciscan Center itself closed due to extreme weather. Their policy for extreme weather includes closing only if I-25 interstate is closed the day the retreat starts.

 

Weather Forecast:

Current weather forecast for Sat (4/30) and Sunday (5/1) is light snow flurries in the morning  until 10:00am with no accumulation on streets and highways from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs. (Temperatures day and night are above freezing.)

After 10:00am each day, it turns to simply cloudy with intermittent light rain, with daytime highs of 43-50.

Monday, Tuesday and Wed. are sunny skies with daytime temps of 55-70 degrees.

Thursdays, 7:00 – 8:45 pm

Both brand new and 20 plus year Course students have been inspired and enlightened by the depth and comprehensive insights of this eight volume teaching by Kenneth Wapnick on the Course’s Workbook. It has added and continues to add whole new levels of understanding to each of our own journeys with the Course.

We consistently hear comments like…

“I feel like both Jesus and Ken are sitting there, directly talking to me and gently encouraging me on…”

Our process is to read one paragraph at a time in Ken’s “Journey through the Workbook,”and then give each participant a chance to ask questions or comment.

All Course students are welcome to attend at any point to see if this group is for them.

However if you are brand new to the Course (or relatively new) we recommend, before attending the Thurs. mtg., that you first try the FREE INTRO TO THE COURSE EVERY FIRST WED OF THE MONTH, or some or all of the ongoing Six Week Series on Course Basics @ the RMMC at 11am on Sundays, starting 10/16.

WHEN: Thursday evenings, 7 to 8:45 pm
WHERE: Rocky Mountain Miracle Center (RMMC)
COST: Suggested Donation $5 to $10 per class, or whatever works best for you.
CONTACT: Tim Wise 720- 391-9294
