School for A Course In Miracles
"The universe of learning will open up before you."
This 3-week class in the Fundamentals of A Course in Miracles runs September 14, 21, and 28, 2016, on three consecutive Wednesdays, at the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center from 7-8:30pm, with Whitney facilitating.
This class is great for new people, or folks wanting to refresh their understanding of Course basics. Call 720-391-9294 for info, or Click here for details.
We will explore what the Course means by special and holy relationships, and especially how to make ‘special’ into ‘Holy.’ We will look at the theme of separate interests vs shared interests and how that fits into the practical application of forgiveness. Fundamentally we will learn how to be honest with ourselves when Jesus tell us “Beware of the temptation to perceive yourself unfairly treated.”

All are welcome, especially those brand new to the Course. We will look at the themes of “love without conflict” and the “gift of peace.”
Jesus reminds us that it is in the day to day application of the Course that we learn forgiveness. As we live normal lives and apply his lessons, we ultimately climb the ladder and “go home.” Jesus also encourages us to see our special relationships as one of the best classrooms for practicing forgiveness. What better time to recognize the purpose we choose for our relationships than during the Holidays?
In this spirit we’ll explore the following themes in November and December:
November- Love without Conflict. We’ll look at the nature of special relationships- the ego’s purpose for relationships (between bodies) and the invitation to choose again with Jesus to serve the new purpose of healing rather than separation.
December- The Gift of Peace. Together we will explore how the ego keeps us frantically trying to solve our “problems” in the world as a way to keep us mindless. The more we believe our unmet needs of desire, lack, and loneliness can be satisfied by the world, the more we perpetuate an experience of suffering and stress. With this awareness, we’ll look to see how we can approach this holiday season with a true purpose toward peace and so choose again the Right Teacher and see through the eyes of Christ.

The School of Reason has a new name – We are now the School for A Course In Miracles.
When School of Reason was founded in 2007, we had been working with Chapter 21, Reason and Perception from the text of A Course in Miracles. Reason, another word for right-mindedness, seemed like a very appropriate word to include in the name for our school. It wasn’t until recently that we considered that it might not be the easiest way for students of A Course in Miracles to find us. School for A Course in Miracles seemed much more appropriate. To our surprise it was also available, as if waiting for us to claim it.
Understanding the non-dual metaphysics of A Course in Miracles is immensely helpful in applying the Workbook lessons that will change our minds and the way we see the world. We will explore fundamental Course topics such as forgiveness, healing, and relationships.
In this series of 4 classes we will learn
We will consider the benefits of making the momentous decision to “choose again” and address the fears that arise in the process.
The purpose of this class is to present A Course in Miracles as a path to inner peace, so that one can decide if it is the right path for them. This four week series is ideal for beginners or ongoing students who want to review and understand in depth the basic Course metaphysics, and how it can be applied on an everyday practical level.
(The class is also highly recommended for those relatively new Course students considering going to the SFACIM Christmas Retreat in December, and who may not be familiar with Kenneth Wapnick and his profound teachings on “A Course in Miracles”.)
All are welcome.
Four Wednesday Evening Classes:
Sept. 9, 16, 23, 30 (2015)
7:00-8:45 pm
In the library of the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center (RMMC), 1939 S. Monroe St., Denver, Co. 80210
Tuition: $80
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 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.
Attendance is limited to 20 participants to make it a small, personal, and intimate experience.
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:
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.
Retreat runs from Sunday afternoon, May 1st, through Wed. noon, May 4th, 2016. Registration begins at 2:00pm on Sunday. Then we will have our first presentation on Sunday @ 4pm before dinner, and a one hour class after dinner that evening. Further retreat scheduling of morning meditations, classes and topics, and meal times are posted below.
We will allow ample time for quiet time and/or socializing as requested per the last retreat questionnaire.
Class topics will include shared vs separate interests, intimacy with our Beloved, death and resurrection, and the Wapnick Chart from a victim/victimizer point of view. We will also explore the very practical ways we can apply the Course’s version of forgiveness daily to any given situation.
