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!
This is a 90-minute live webinar.
