(Call to check on availability for local commuters 720 391 9294…)
Dec. 6-7-8, 2019,
Friday Afternoon thru Sunday Noon.
Please join us for the School for A Course in Miracles
fifth and final annual Christmas Retreat…
(we will be trying other different approaches to sharing the message of the Course in 2020)
It will be once again at the lovely Franciscan Retreat Center in Colorado Springs, in the foothills of the Rockies.
During the Retreat, we will explore and develop more intimately our relationship with Jesus.
We will go through “The Clarification of Terms” (COT),
at the end of A Course in Miracles book… to gleam from its many insights what our connection with Jesus looks and feels like and how to nurture it.
(Lodging, meals, and program are all included in the prices listed below)
All are welcome, both new and long-time students of A Course in Miracles!
If you are new to the Course… or new to the teachings of Dr. Kenneth Wapnick on A Course in Miracles…
It is recommended, before registering for the Retreat, that you watch a couple of Ken Wapnick 10 minute videos (click here) about the Course, and/or look over this website’s description of Ken Wapnick’s Chart (click here) on Course metaphysics.
Please register by Wed. Nov. 20th, 2019!

The Place:
We love the Franciscan Center (off Woodmen Rd. in northwest Colorado Springs, Co.) for retreats. It is nestled in a lovely location in the foothills of the Rockies. The staff has been consistently great, accommodations wonderful, and our past participants have been more than happy with the meals. This will be our fifth and last Christmas Retreat.

Full Day Online Seminar: Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019
with Jeff Seibert of the FACIM on…
“Let No Despair Darken The Joy of Christmas”
Jesus tells us, “This is the season when you would celebrate my birth into the world. Yet you know not how to do it” (T-15.X.1:5-6). For most of us, this holiday season, as well as every other season, is filled with the ego’s promises of “peace and joy” as a cover for the guilt and despair that must underlie all of our rituals and routines dedicated to specialness. For as the Course teaches, anything based on separation must by its very nature exclude genuine peace and joy. Jesus offers us a different perspective on the season, focused not on form but on content, based not on sacrificial “giving to get” (T-4.II.6:5) but on the perfectly shared “gift of union” (T-15.X.3:4), where no one can experience loss.
Through readings and discussion, this class will attempt to uncover the hidden decisions beneath what for many is experienced as the stress, guilt, fear, depression and despair of the holiday season, as well as the possibility of a shift in our focus and experience through the celebration of the rebirth of the Christ Child (W-p1.182.10:1) within our hearts and minds.
