Healing the Cause - from the perspective of A Course in Miracles


Health is inner peace….
Healing involves an understanding
of what the illusion of sickness is for.
Healing is impossible without this.
from A Course in Miracles

Using the spiritual path of A Course in Miracles we will explore what true healing is - the return to our awareness of our spiritual identity. Identification with our body as our home is the origin of all our physical and psychological suffering.

The cause of all disease lies in the mind and not the body. Disease is a shadow on the body, of the guilt in our mind.

This workshop will focus on undoing the blocks we have built to the presence of God’s love and joy within us through the understanding and practising of forgiveness.

We will investigate what the Course means by healing ourselves and others and contrast the differences between the healed and the unhealed healer.

We will use exercises to help understand the ego and to practice forgiveness and turning within for guidance.

An overview of the Course’s metaphysical, psychological and spiritual teachings especially in regard to healing will be covered. Reference will also be made to the Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process and Practice supplement to the Course. No previous knowledge of the book A Course in Miracles is required

A PATH TO INNER PEACE
from the perspective of A Course in Miracles

with Michael Dawson

“The peace of God is everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, my purpose and my function and my life, while I abide where I am not at home.”
Lesson 205. A Course in Miracles

Using material from A Course in Miracles and experiential exercises we will explore how we can, with the help of spirit, remove the obstacles to our peace and joy within.

At our creation we were given peace. We have not lost it but simply covered it over with something we thought was better. Our desire to be separate, special and individual blinds us to our inner spiritual reality. Identification with our body and personality prevents the remembering of who we really are - eternal spirit.

Using the practice of forgiveness we can start to undo the blocks we have erected to the joy and peace within. Forgiveness is the path of awareness, acceptance and asking for help.

We will practise watching our minds without judgement, or as the Course puts it … (forgiveness) “merely looks, and waits and judges not.”

No previous knowledge of A Course in Miracles is required

GERMANY — 2006 WORKSHOPS

RAVENSBURG - Saturday 24 June 2006

Opening to the Light - from the perspective of A Course in Miracles


Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still, and quietly does nothing.
… It merely looks, and waits, and judges not.
A Course in Miracles W-pII.1.4.


The light, love and joy of God are ever present and wait only our acceptance. We need not earn them as they were freely given at our creation. Nor is sacrifice or suffering required. So why do we rarely experience the light? This workshop will look, firstly, at why we are afraid of the light and the illusions we fear to let go. Our illusions and unforgiveness stand as barriers between us and the light and the guidance that would lead us home.

The second part of the workshop will focus on overcoming our fear through forgiveness - the path of awareness, acceptance and asking for help.

Exercises will be used to help identify our illusions and fear of sacrifice so they can be healed through forgiveness. We will practise watching our minds without judgement or as the Course puts it … ” (forgiveness) merely looks, and waits and judges not.”

FREIBURG - 1/2 July 2006

The Path Home - from the perspective of A Course in Miracles


Save time for me by only this one preparation, and practice doing nothing else. “I need do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation, or of struggle against temptation.
from A Course in Miracles T-18.VII.6:6-8

There is a common belief that the path home to God must involve strenuous effort and sacrifice. Just as we strive for material goals we believe we must strive for our spiritual goals too. We decide the best path home and do not realise our very striving may be blocking our awakening.

Jesus tells us in A Course in Miracles that we need do nothing.
This workshop will explore what it means to “do nothing”. What stops us standing aside and allowing the help in? What is the part we must play so that our lives can be directed gracefully? How can we use our relationships to take us home?

We will use material from the Course from the chapters on ‘I Need Do Nothing’, holy relationships, receiving guidance and the ‘Development of Trust’. Exercises will be used to help identify our individual obstacles to guidance so they can be healed through forgiveness. This allows the Holy Spirit to enter our mind and guide our path home to joy, peace and love

No previous knowledge of A Course in Miracles is required but attendance at the Friday night (date) introductory talk would be helpful for people new to the Course.
