Breakout Sessions

The Experience of the Peace of God – Douglas MacIntyre

We are One. The result of the recognition of Oneness is the experience of the Peace of God. ACIM reminds us that we will recognize this Peace because it is completely different from anything we have experienced previously. The Peace of God is an experience which floods the body/mind completely as all else falls away. Using dialogue, meditation and experiential processes, we will create an opportunity for the direct experience of this Peace.

Morning Yoga – Douglas MacIntyre

An introduction to Internal Yoga, a course-inspired and very gentle practice which focuses on the attainment of a state of awareness. We will use very easy stretches combined with flowing movements, breath work affirmation and guided meditation. Accessible to all levels of fitness, those not inclined to yoga can join the class and do the internal practice seated in a chair.

Dancing Into Oneness – Cathy Jay

Come and experience your body as a beautiful instrument of awakening. Together, we will move gently in a sacred circle and each simple dance will open us more fully to the joy of our Oneness. No dance experience is necessary as each one is clearly taught and led. Our intention is soul work, not foot work!

We Are One – Regina Dawn Akers

We know this intellectually, but for most of us … (ok, all of us) … our day-to-day experience is one of separateness. I seem like me, and you seem like you, and they seem like them. But why? Why do we continue to experience separation when our heart’s desire is to know our Self as we are? In this breakout session we will look at how The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI) answers this question, and we will look at simple practices Holy Spirit teaches to help us let go of the experience of separation so we can experience our one Self as we are. Interactive discussion is encouraged.

Soul Power and A Course In Miracles – Ted Poppe

What is this all about for YOU? A Course In Miracles has been given to us by the Grace of God from the Christ Mind of Jesus through the willingness of Helen and Bill to help us out of the maze of the illusion of space/time and guide us home to the Kingdom of Heaven, which is all around us for it is within us.
How does it all work for YOU…how is the Oneness of the Kingdom both celestial in nature and practical in our day-to-day living? We will explore why it works and how, as it works in you. The joy of fulfilling your part in the plan of Atonement becomes your inheritance as you are lead back to the eternal creative reality, which is the power of your soul and your heart’s desire.

Life With Jesus – Listening, Resting, Letting – Vicki Poppe

Please join me to practice listening to the voice of our brother, Jesus. Turning our attention to Jesus, thought by thought, allows us to receive the gifts of healing that the Holy Spirit offers each of us. Turning our attention to Jesus, rather than to the ego and its system of judgment, allows us to be receptive to the wondrous powers of Forgiveness and the Holy Instant. Turning our attention to Jesus as our elder brother and teacher allows us to awaken to our Self, take our part in the plan for Salvation and right now join the Circle of Atonement in gratitude and Celebration.

Power and The Holiest Instant – MaryBeth Scalice, Ed.D. (Saturday)

When the memory of God arises in the mind that is quiet, it comes as power. When the Presence of Love arises in the humble heart, Its Answer reveals unlimited potentiality. All that God would have you do, you can do (MT 14 5). Miracles shall be performed. Yet, nothing can be created in the spirit of doubt and separation. In this circle we will explore the holy instant, enter into its Power, and find Answer to our seeming weakness. I will share the Holiest Instant as revealed through Jesus’ Words in The Jesse and Lily Intimacies.

In His Words – MaryBeth Scalice, Ed.D. (Sunday)

Those who hear His Words have heard the song of Heaven (ACIM 198). Those who live within them know with wholehearted conviction, the Presence of Love on earth. Join with me in deep listening. Join in wholehearted faithfulness and acceptance of the Word He has given to define our Self. Prepare your mind for a day of loving creativity by opening your heart to the fullness of the Word of God.
