“TUITION” section below… under the “How to Apply” section
——————-
* After you register (by paying for a third or more of the Immersion tuition) for Immersion 2025, we require that you begin now (even before the actual Immersion program begins in 2025) to attend at least one or more of the other SFACIM Online weekly classes each week. This is fundamentally helpful for staying in a continuous “Course flow” in our SFACIM community.
** An ongoing requirement for being in the Immersion program is that when you register, and then throughout the Immersion, that you begin to attend at least one other weekly online SFACIM class every week, besides the four Sat. Immersion 2025 classes each month.
Access to all our regular weekly online classes are included in your Immersion tuition, from the time you complete your Immersion registration to the end of April 2025.
This helps all of us as Immersion participants to stay connected in awareness, both in mind and spirit in our SFACIM community.
For weekly class info & Zoom link: click here
** We recommend and prefer that those taking the Immersion program for the first time… that you not listen to other Course teachers nor attend other Course groups… during this four month Immersion period… other than our own SFACIM classes, Jeff Siebert’s FACIM classes (facim.org Wed. classes online), and our assigned Ken Wapnick’s audio seminars.
Most other Course teachers and groups do teach and share A Course in Miracles quite differently than we do … and it can become very confusing to listen to other Course teachers and teachings about ACIM while you are doing the Immersion, until you at first develop a firm understanding of how the SFACIM and Dr. Kenneth Wapnick approach, teach and practice A Course in Miracles.
Online 2025 Immersion Schedule
Saturdays:
9:30am – 11am Mountain Time (in USA)
on all Saturdays of each month,
Jan. thru April 2025.
=======
Please adjust for time shift in USA on March 9th, 2025 to Daylight Savings Time, one hr forward (depending on when and if your state or country changes).
Our four-month online Immersion program is different from our regular weekly classes. It is for people new to A Course in Miracles (ACIM) and anyone desiring to increase their understanding and practice of the Course from the ‘ground up,’ in what can be described as an online ‘ACIM intensive’ of basic training in the gentle arts of forgiveness and healing.
(1) Before considering registering for the Immersion in 2025:
Our approach to A Course in Miracles (ACIM) can be quite different than other Course teachers in content and practice… so please watch a couple of our free YouTube video introductory presentations on the way we conduct the classes and how we see and practice A Course in Miracles.
and then please also attend a couple of our weekly live online classes … to see how we conduct our classes and cover A Course in Miracles material.
(2) After you have attended some of our live classes, carefully look over this entire post on the Immersion Program.
Then please call or email us (lyncorona@msn.com) to arrange for a brief interview on Zoom if we have not talked to you yet… to see that we are on the same page in terms of Immersion class requirements and goals … thanks!

The open attitude to learn that the student brings to the Immersion program will eventually develop (we believe) each one’s blossoming respect and appreciation for the depth and breadth of the magnitude of A Course in Miracles.
** We ask then for your willingness to make it your primary spiritual practice, for at least this four month period.
The consistent daily application and integration of Course principles is the goal.
Online Course Immersion 2025
An ultimate in “A Course in Miracles” education and practice!
Come, study, and experience A Course in Miracles (ACIM) with our School for A Course in Miracles (SFACIM) facilitators, who have collectively learned, practiced, and taught the Course for over 250 years. This is a four month online program from January 2025 through April 2025.
We cover and methodically explore in-depth all of the fundamental ideas on forgiveness and healing in the Course, and the how-to’s for practical application in our everyday lives. This four month process has been meticulously put together by long time teachers of the Course who have created a simple but effective plan for a complete fundamental understanding and integration of A Course in Miracles principles, starting from ‘scratch.’
Our program is based on the brilliant and insightful teachings on A Course in Miracles by Dr. Kenneth Wapnick, whom our School considers to be the preeminent and the best-of-the-best of ACIM teachers.
====
So please come be part of a close interactive community of about 10 to 25 Course students during these four months, who …
- are working a lesson a day from Ken Wapnick’s “Journey Through The Workbook,”
- are spiritually growing together (both facilitators and participants alike) as they study a carefully selected set of Course topics that progressively build to an overall understanding and practice of the Course’s process of forgiveness and healing,
- are supported and encouraged with one-on-one mentoring throughout that process.
The primary focus of the Immersion Program is making a shift in identity from the body to the mind where, as internal decision makers, we can learn to choose against the ego’s teachings of separation and specialness and decide instead for the Holy Spirit’s teachings of forgiveness and healing.
The necessity for undoing the belief in our own mostly unrecognized guilt is the central theme that runs through the students daily ACIM practice “… for our unconscious guilt demands punishment, making us fearful of our returning to God.”
The central message the Course aims to teach is…“God’s Son is guiltless, and his innocence is his salvation.”
On every Saturday, Jan. thru April 2025, one and a half hours each …. These classes are streamed live online using the free app Zoom.
Half-day workshop in April 12, 2025, on Special Relationships is presented online and recorded for replay and review.
===
Twice a month mentoring throughout the program by one of the SFACIM Course teachers… your mentor is selected by the School.
===
Weekly listening assignments from selected Seminars from our Ken Wapnick Memorial Library are made available to Immersion participants on Dropbox.
—
Video replays of each Immersion class are made available online on YouTube only to all the current Immersion participants.
===
Basic personal Zoom account and basic Dropbox account (needed to listen to Ken Wapnick seminars) are free, and easily downloaded, if you do not already have them.
—–
Also included in your tuition:
- Free access during the Immersion to the School’s over 1000 youtube videos and
- automatic access to all of our other live weekly online classes... for the duration of the Immers. program.
The benefits of the Course Immersion are many. Here are just a few:
-
Simplicity. We learn there is one problem, one solution, and one decision to make.
-
We learn nothing external can affect us unless we choose it.
-
We recognize the true purpose for all relationships is healing the mind.
-
We learn to see the world as a classroom for awakening instead of a prison house.
-
Our sense of isolation begins to fade as we realize we have a constant inner companion and guide with us at all times. We learn that help is always available.
Mentoring:
Each student taking Immersion for the first time (and who has paid full tuition for this Immersion) is given a mentor (chosen by the School) to guide and encourage their spiritual maturation during the program. The mutually beneficial healing relationship between mentor and student serves as a model for all relationships. Our mentors and teachers are dedicated to healing our minds, believing in the students we teach, and learning true forgiveness from the Holy Spirit.
The student is expected to call their assigned mentor and set up a twice-a-month mentoring session (for about 45-50 minutes) .
It is also the student’s responsibility to call their mentor on the agreed-upon scheduled times, or change it in advance if they need to. It is not the mentor’s responsibility to call the student.
- Sending a text the day of the the call is encouraged and helpful to remind both parties about the scheduled call.
Mentoring is an essential and necessary part of Immersion, and students should be willing to call their mentors throughout the entire four month program. Reminder… your mentors are selected by the School, and not the student.
* Mentees: please come to the mentoring session with at least 2 or 3 questions written down for their mentors. (It is really ‘ego-easy’ to forget our questions.)
** Mentoring sessions are also a good time to go over your weekly writing assignments with your mentor.
Student Requirements:
The Course Immersion is a rigorous program.
(If you feel you do not have the time necessary to devote to an Immersion program, please consider taking one or two of our other weekly online classes, instead of the Immersion.
Students considering enrolling should be prepared to spend a minimum of 7-10 hours a week doing homework, typically a little more than an hour a day.
Dr. Kenneth Wapnick’s seminars and teachings and books are the basis for the School for ACIM’s primary approach to and understanding of A Course in Miracles. We consider him the ultimate and best guide in our understanding and practice of ACIM … and we rely on his published teachings heavily throughout the Immersion and all the SFACIM’s weekly classes.
The Immersion homework includes reading daily lessons in Journey through the Workbook, reading and writing assignments, and listening to selected Ken Wapnick seminars (recommended while driving or taking a walk). These Ken Wapnick listening assignments are made available to you from the School’s Kenneth Wapnick Library, accessible on Dropbox. You will need to have your own Dropbox app/account on your computer and/or smart phone.
======
The basic free Dropbox account is fine. It gives you 2 GB free storage, but you will have to regularly download Ken’s seminars into your computer (if you desire)… and then delete them every month (or so) in your free Dropbox account, in order to have space to download the next seminars.
The yearly Dropbox price for 2 TB storage (a lot of storage space) is about $120 dollars, which is what the School and most students use (and then you would be able to keep your Ken seminars in your own Dropbox account without having to delete them and make room for new ones.)
** Regrettably, you cannot (repeat: cannot) listen to all the tracks of a Ken seminar continuously on Dropbox. To listen to the whole seminar without clicking on one track at a time (which you have to do on Dropbox), you must download the seminar into your computer and then use an appropriate app (like Itunes), to play it continuously.
====
Your membership in the Wapnick Library during the four month program is included in your Immersion tuition. We will listen to about twelve insightful Ken seminars on major Course themes over the four month Immersion One period. These Wapnick recorded seminars are carefully selected to build one upon the next, for a gradual but in-depth progression of the student’s development in the Course both intellectually and experientially. This immersion in hearing Ken’s incredible understanding of the Course is a major part of our study in the program. This helps us all stay collectively, students and facilitators, on ‘the same page’ throughout the six months.
================
Students are required to attend a minimum of 15 of the 17 live online Immersion classes, and stay for the entire 1 and 1/2 hr. class @ each class, unless there is an emergency. It is important to watch replays of any Immersion classes they do miss.
——————-
* After you register (by paying for whole or part of the tuition) for this Immersion, we require that you begin now (even before the actual Immersion program begins) to attend at least one (or more) of the other SFACIM Online weekly classes each week. This is fundamentally helpful for staying in a continuous “Course flow” in our SFACIM community.
** An ongoing requirement for being in the Immersion program is that when you register, and then throughout the Immersion, that you begin to attend at least one other weekly online SFACIM class every week, besides the four Sat.

Journey Through The Workbook
We read and study a lesson a day during the Immersion (on our own) from this wonderful line by line description by Ken Wapnick… of what each ACIM daily lesson is really about.
We have all found, School facilitators and students alike, incredibly helpful insights and explanations on every Workbook lesson… and we continue to go running back to this resource, whenever we again find ourselves confused or have misunderstandings about what a lesson might mean.
** Please get this set as far ahead as possible before the Immersion begins: click here.

- Referring weekly to your Immersion Website page for assignments.

* It is suggested that you get and use a Logitech webcam (about $50-150 on Amazon or on Ebay), or something comparable, while attending class online, especially if your camera and/or microphone on your computer is not very clear. The Logitech webcams have both camera and microphone on it, and usually plugs into your computer thru a USB port (Small rectangular hole on side or back of your computer).
