You forget in order to remember better.” (ACIM, T-7.II.6:5)

While some live by: “forgive and forget,” and others maintain: “forgive but NEVER forget!” A Course in Miracles teaches that forgiveness is the recognition that “this” never happened in the first place.

How do we navigate the atrocities in this world of form without the spiritual bypass of minimizing the suffering of others while holding the Truth that all is “perfect?”

Come join FIP’s The Role of Teacher Series to explore this seemingly complex journey of forgiveness through the teachings of ACIM with professional Course teacher Carol Howe and Course practitioners:

What to forgive, what to forget, and what to remember – Key understandings in developing a forgiveness framework.
The roles we play and “playing within the roles” – applying Course principles to life events.
Transformative takeaways – Learning to live by ACIM principles.

Together we will discuss the intricacies, subtleties, and simplicity within the Course’s essential principle of forgiveness. Sometimes an experienced teacher can truly help!

“Blow on it lightly and with happy laughter, and it will fall away. And walk into the garden love has prepared for both of you.” (ACIM, T-18.VIII.13:7-8)

Since we are told that God’s son forgot to laugh—Let’s remember to laugh in this “Let’s Discuss” Webinar!

This webinar is for those of us who are struggling to laugh, for those who love to laugh, and for everyone in between.

How does the Holy Spirit use laughter for healing in A Course in Miracles?
How do we find humor amidst fear and perceived atrocities?
Why is laughter so important throughout our applied practice of ACIM?

Think of the love of animals for their offspring, and the need they feel to protect them. That is because they regard them as part of themselves. (ACIM, T-4.II.4:1-2)

Why is it that many Course students express that it’s far easier to apply ACIM practice of feeling love and oneness with their pets than towards humans?

Often our pets can be more profound teachers of the Course than even the most educated Course teachers. And other times, our pets can appear as unrelenting reminders of forgiveness opportunities.

In this live discussion, we will explore:

When the Course says that “the ark of peace is entered two by two,” can this include a person and their pet? How relationships with animals help us on the forgiveness journey.
How animals extend love, joy and healing into the various dimensions of our lives.

Join our ACIM-focused, lively dialogue amongst a professional pet sitter, a human and pet grief specialist, a Course Horse Whisperer, and animal lovers discussing extraordinary spiritual teachings and forgiveness stories of Course students and their beloved pets and the healings that come with the pet-i-cure!

“Every part benefits, and benefits equally.” (ACIM, T-5.in.2:7)
Does the company you keep help or hinder your Course practice?
Long-term Course students and teachers, Carol Howe, Dr. Jon Mundy, and Dr. Roger Walsh each met at least one of the Scribes of A Course in Miracles and established lifelong friendships with the founders of the Foundation for Inner Peace. Hear their perspectives about their interactions within a group of Course pioneers and the benefits and challenges of these “special relationships.”

Many believe that the Course does not condone “special relationships.” With these panelists, we will discuss how the specialness of their relationships of the past contributed to their Course practice in the present and what role forgiveness plays in all of this.
“The one remaining problem that you have is that you see an interval between the time when you forgive, and will receive the benefits of trusting in your brother.” (ACIM, T-26.VIII.1:1)

Although the Course tells us that we have free will through “choice” throughout an already written “plan,” what does this actually mean?
What is our purpose and role in our own narrative and who is actually writing the script here?
On the path to Atonement, the Course states that the “time is set.” Must we consciously practice forgiveness to awaken to our true nature, or need we truly “…do nothing?”

Come join our discussion as we move through perspectives about free will, fate, the role that God, Holy Spirit and we play in our lives and practice of A Course in Miracles.
