Practicing "A Course in Miracles"
WITH DAWN GREEN
A year-long course offered in three-month segments
Choose Again's therapeutic approach is based on universal spiritual teachings. Among them are the lessons and text of A Course in Miracles (ACIM). Many of our students and clients find studying ACIM supportive of the therapeutic work they do with Choose Again. It can provide a philosophical framework for the Six Step to Freedom process, as well as the structure and discipline of daily lessons and readings.
The ACIM Practice Group course will offer the structure and support of a cohort of students in the practical application of the daily lessons, as well as a variety of selected readings from the text to enrich the understanding and practice of the lessons.

Segment 1
Every Sunday from January 5 - March 30, 2025
This is a small course, with a maximum of 16 students. Book early to reserve a spot.
The first meeting is on Sunday, January 5th, but please note that participants start the first of the daily lessons at home on January 1st with Lesson 1 and continue with one Lesson each day.
About the course
ACIM includes daily lessons for students to practice each day for a year. The lessons provide a mind-training, offering multiple ways for practitioners to question and shift their perspective. As the Course states in its opening pages, …. “The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance….”
Who is it for?
All are welcome!
Students need not have completed previous segments in order to join.
Even if you haven't done the previous lessons, feel free to dive in!
This group is for those who deeply desire to experience more fully and consistently the peace, love and well-being that reside at the centre of themselves. It is designed for those who are committed to reading and practicing each day’s lessons and text readings fully, as well as looking at and releasing the blocks to doing this when they arise. It will be of particular interest to those who sometimes struggle with A Course in Miracles and want to develop structure, discipline and consistency in their work. The purpose is for each participant to have the opportunity to build an internal structure of daily practice that focuses on applying each day's teachings to each day's happenings, and then looking at how the day’s practice went each evening, with perhaps a bit of journaling at that time.
As group members share in the weekly meeting about how they have integrated the work into their lives during the week, and the results that they have experienced, each is teaching what they have learned. ACIM says that teaching is what we are lead to do when we deeply desire to learn. We are all teaching and learning from each other.

Format
Each week, you will read and apply the week's lessons from ACIM. You will also be reading selected text readings and doing some inner looking, reflecting, contemplating and journalling as you work with the text. There are also guided meditations to assist you to approach and experience what you are beyond the personality-level self (ego).
We will be continuing on with the ACIM Lessons from where we ended in the previous 12 week segment, doing one lesson a day, seven days a week for the twelve weeks we are together. Once the course is over, students will have had the opportunity to internalize the structure and those who desire will be able to continue on with the group to the next segment of the lessons and practice, or to work on their own.
At the weekly meeting, you will have the opportunity to share your experiences of applying the lessons and what you discovered, or what shifted as a result. There will be a suggestion to journal each day about your thoughts, questions and discoveries.
All will be welcome to share their experience of the homework including insights and shifts in dealing with resistance to doing it. The space is not for intellectualizing or discussing the metaphysics of ACIM, but solely on sharing discoveries of the week in applying the lessons and readings. It is also not a 6-step processing circle or discussion group.
In summary, this is a year-long journey through the ACIM lessons, offered in 12 week segments for people who have the time, interest and drive to participate fully in each day's ACIM lesson and to meet to discuss results and share inspiration on a weekly basis. We ask that you commit for the full 12 weeks. If you would like to join mid-segment, the cost will be prorated, and you will still be expected to attend for the full remaining weeks in the course.

About your instructor
|
Hello! I have been a student, practitioner and teacher of A Course in Miracles for 37 years. I have also been deeply immersed and the study and practice of Buddhism for 12 years and have worked with the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta, among others.
I am also a registered counsellor in Canada and my practice is based substantially on the principals of ACIM. It is my delight to share my practice and experience of working with ACIM with you. I will guide you, through your own work with ACIM and to learn to connect deeply with the voice of your own inner knowing, and assist you to grow in the habit of following that. Daily practice of ACIM, over my lifetime, has led me from depression, fear and anxiety to a life of peace, contentment and deep surrender to what life brings me each day. It is a life so full of love that when I began this path, I could not have imagined where it could take me. I am greatful every day for all that life brings me, and joyful to follow this journey wherever the guidance of true wisdom takes me. |
"I am determined to see things differently." Lesson 23, ACIM
