The School for A Course in Miracles (SFACIM)

and The Rocky Mountain Miracle Center (RMMC): 

This post is in response to inquiries about the relationship between the School for ACIM, which is an actual online School for A Course in Miracles… and the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center (RMMC), which is a building located in south Denver which provides meeting and classroom space for those studying and practicing “A Course in Miracles.”.

The School for A Course in Miracles (SFACIM) is an autonomous entity, with its own School-trained teachers conducting classes online and in-person. The School is distinct and separate from the RMMC. 

The School for ACIM and the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center each have their own governing Boards, and each have their own websites. For current information (updated daily) on all the School’s activities, held at both the RMMC and other places and online, please check the  SFACIM schedule.

The SFACIM home business office is located @ Montview Manor in Central Denver, where the SFACIM occasionally has classes in Montview’s Penthouse.

The RMMC building is located at 1939 S. Monroe St. in Denver, where the SFACIM facilitators occasionally conduct classes and lead Sunday Gatherings in-person. Most SFACIM classes and seminars are now only online.

The significant way the School’s facilitators  sometime differ from other Course teachers is this: 

The SFACIM teachers specifically study and share Dr. Kenneth Wapnick prolific teachings on  “A Course in Miracles,” and his insightful and helpful approach to the Course… in all their classes and events.

We believe Dr. Wapnick was and still is the foremost, most knowledgeable, and one of the most caring teachers of the Course since its inception.

Ken Wapnick met Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford shortly after the Course had been taken down, and was instrumental in its publishing and the teaching of the Course ever since. We know that it is his work and teaching that has kept the Course for us consistently on-track, “on-Course,” and undiluted.

Our beloved Ken made his transition a few years ago. However we genuinely feel his presence, his ongoing love and guidance even today, as we continue to learn and practice the kind and gentle process of forgiveness, given us in the Course.

Ken’s recordings and books are available for sale at https://facimstore.org/

… Basket passed at RMMC day of event: part is to help cover RMMC rental fee, and part is donated to FACIM
A common observation of students as they continue their study and practice of A Course in Miracles is that—much to their surprise—their fear level has increased and peace has become more elusive. Yet it is not surprising that the decision to restore the previously rejected awareness of our true Identity as one with God would produce considerable discomfort. This is because we could begin to recognize some of the defenses we use to keep the truth concealed. The resulting fear and discomfort are addressed by Jesus in the Course and will be among the topics discussed in this class.
Included as well are Jesus’ comforting reassurances that he is with us in our process of withdrawing the promise we made to the ego never to allow union to call us out of separation and therefore we would look at what we swore we would never look at (T-19.IV-D.3:4; 6:1). Thus we learn that our fear is not justified. We have not lost our innocence, as Jesus reminds us, and so we recognize at last that in truth “there is nothing to fear” (W-pI.48). The peace that is our inheritance is now restored to our awareness.

“Our Search for Meaning & Purpose,” August 16th Seminar @ RMMC

“Our Search for Meaning and Purpose”

Wed., August 16, 2017, 11am-5pm

Live Video Streaming Presentation from the Temecula Foundation for ACIM @

Rocky Mountain Miracle Center in Denver

(Not recommended for folks new to the Course, click here for programs suggested for beginners.)

 

Faculty: Dr. Rosemarie LoSasso and Dr. Jeffrey Seibert

Time: 11 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. – 5:15 p.m. (Mountain Time)

It seems to be the great preoccupation of the world to find what will give our lives meaning and purpose. And the search may lead down many different paths, among them: mundane achievements, such as money, power and fame; interpersonal relationships, including family and friends; caring roles aimed at helping others and making the world a better place; and spiritual pursuits, such as becoming a student (and teacher) of A Course in Miracles. And yet despite the seeming differences among all of them, from the perspective of the Course, they share one thing in common: they are all meaningless. For all seek to establish meaning and purpose in special relationships, our substitutes for God, through the activity of the body, which nicely serves the ego’s purpose of keeping the Son of God mindless.

This program will explore what the Course asserts are the only two purposes our lives can serve: reinforcing the dream through judgment and specialness, or awakening from it through the miracle and forgiveness, only one of which is meaningful, for it shifts our focus from the body to the mind. And we will examine the subtle ways in which the ego attempts to convince us that meaning and purpose can still be found in the world of dreams, telling us that seeking to find meaning in awakening from the dream is simply not enough to get us through our day.

 

Come watch with us together, at the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center, the live streaming of this insightful one day seminar on the search for truth from the Course’s perspective, with two great Course teachers from the FACIM in California.

 

Suggested donation $20

Celebrating The First 10 Years of School for A Course in Miracles

EXTENDING THE MESSAGE OF

“PEACE THROUGH FORGIVENESS”

 

Hello, Friends of A Course in Miracles:

Our School for A Course in Miracles was founded in 2007 as School of Reason. The name was later changed to School for A Course in Miracles as it more accurately expresses what we are about. The school is the teaching order of the Ark of Peace, a 501(c)3 non-profit, established in 1990 for the purpose of sharing the Course’s teachings of “peace through forgiveness”.

 

Here are some of the accomplishments in our first 10 years.

  • An outstanding website www.sfacim.org. As you visit it you will see a beautiful, well-organized site, filled with extensive written, audio and video materials on the Course. Updated daily, you can always find current events and classes.
  • 100’s of classes, numerous workshops and retreats, and five 6-month long Course Immersions in the study and application of Course principles.
  • A prolific Ken Wapnick Library, which has provided local Denver Course students with thousands of hours of listening to renown scholar Dr. Kenneth Wapnick as he illuminates the teachings of ACIM.
  • Weekly on-line classes offered through our new technology – Zoom Online Classrooms.
  • Mentoring sessions – a choice of 30 or 60 minutes – for those times when you feel stuck and can’t see a way out.
  • New technology that is expanding our access to students anywhere in the world. Course Immersion 2017 was attended by students in-person and online in Colorado, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. The good news is that the technology has not impaired but broadened our School’s teaching/learning process.
  • The transformation of students into teachers of God, defined by the Course as those who understand and demonstrate the practice of forgiveness and share Jesus’ aim of healing the mind.
  • Four faculty members with over 120 years of combined education and application of Course teachings illuminated by thousands of hours studying with Course scholar, Kenneth Wapnick, Phd. Our teaching is consistent, focused and simple, imbued with certainty and conviction that it works. The benefits to students is accelerated learning and experience.

 

 

 

 

It appears to be a good time for us to think about extending the message of A Course in Miracles. The message is very simple: “God’s Son is guiltless.” To learn and experience the truth of this statement we must teach (demonstrate) it. And to teach it we must learn to forgive. Forgiveness is the way to peace.

From Jesus and his Course, and from Ken Wapnick (scholar, teacher and true helper) and his teachings on the Course, the facilitators of SFACIM have received an outstanding education. Now we are being nudged to expand our reach and make this same education more available to earnest students wherever they may be. Coincidentally, there is nothing we as Course facilitators would rather do than carry this message.

Moving forward, we want to build a firmer financial foundation on which to operate Jesus’ and Ken’s, yours and ours, and ultimately everyone’s school. We hope to move forward with the assurance that we can do so with minimum financial concern. Furthermore, we want there to be champions of the idea of “peace through forgiveness” in this world for as long as it is needed.

As a student, or someone who has been affected by A Course in Miracles, perhaps we speak for you as well. If so please join, help, or support the School for ACIM in any way you feel moved.

How You Can Help School for A Course in Miracles Grow…

 

We have come to a turning point in the road and we are reaching out to Course students to help us sustain School for A Course in Miracles financially and expand our reach with more classes and programs both online and in-person.

This expansion calls for new technology expenditures in order to improve the quality of our online education. The equipment we have purchased (microphones, cameras, wires, etc.) is good, but the quality needed for better professional presentations is available and ever evolving.

One of the best ways you can help is through a monthly automatic donation of any amount. With your steady monthly contributions supplementing the School’s income from classes, workshops, and retreats, the School would be in a better position to project an annual budget from which to improve the quality of the SFACIM’s offerings and support its longevity.

Of course any monthly pledge of any amount, large or small, is extremely helpful and appreciated.

 All donations are tax deductible with the School’s status as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
