Online Class Guidelines:
“Please Have Your Video Camera on During Class!”
Please have your video camera on during the classes so we can see each others’ faces… except for times when:
1) you are eating, or 2) you may need to move around during class, or 3) you may not be feeling well. .. thanks!
Video Tip:
*It helps to be aware of front lighting on your face instead of back lighting when on streaming… Otherwise your face will be silhouetted and cannot be seen on the screen.
Guidelines for
SFACIM Online Class Participation:
We are a School for A Course in Miracles (SFACIM), whose classes’ purpose is to present a coherent, consistent, and clear process of forgiveness based on Dr. Kenneth Wapnick’s teachings on Jesus’s A Course in Miracles (ACIM).
**Unlike most ACIM meetings and discussion groups, our SFACIM classes are different in that they are actual classes, and are not meant to be open forums for Course students and other Course teachers to give their own teachings and opinions about the Course, or other spiritual systems or other spiritual books.
Questions are definitely encouraged as in any classroom situation, and examples of students practicing forgiveness are often requested from the facilitators.
It is quite helpful at times to discuss and share what has, and hasn’t worked, for us in our own process of working and applying the Course, and specifically Ken Wapnick’s teachings on it.
To do that we first have to begin to learn what forgiveness and healing are in ACIM… as we study Ken Wapnick’s teachings on the Course.
During class, we try to avoid advice-giving (also called crosstalk in 12 step meetings)… directly to someone else or the group as a whole. Our personal challenge is for us to become aware and responsible for our own process of the ‘undoing’ of our own ego selfishness and preoccupation, and not to avoid that process in ourselves by sometimes trying to “help” or fix someone else.
It is suggested and appreciated that all class participants take advantage of the opportunity to simply be students again, ask questions if so guided, and listen and learn and apply the Course teachings right there in class… no matter how many times they have heard or even taught the material themselves.
We are grateful for your patience and understanding.
No eating during classes please…
If however you do need to eat during class because of time constraints, please turn off your video camera, while eating or moving around, so as not to be a distraction during class…. Thanks.
For Strongest and Most Consistent Signal during a Zoom session…
We recommend sitting as close to your router as possible, with your laptop or smart phone… This eliminates significantly a lot of the frozen screens and loss of audio during streaming.
Also, if you have the ‘5G’ option on network preferences on your computer, choose the 5G option over the regular option. (click here for tips on receiving stronger wifi signal)
And for strongest signal, hardwire your computer to your router for the best signal during the class.
