A Course in Miracles (ACIM) found David “Dov” Fishman in 1977. By 1980, Dov was leading an ACIM group in New York City where participants were invited to take place as moderators. This early initiative led to the use of the same technique later when the internet became available, for in 2004, Dov began inviting ACIM students to take their place among the teachers in an online boot camp called ACIM Gather, now streaming on YouTube as Gather for A Course in Miracles, where participants are invited to develop Trust in listening to Holy Spirit, as He speaks to us and through us. In 2008, Dov co-founded One Mind Foundation to develop the idea of equality and inclusion, and is now shared with Jon Mundy as a directory for Course teachers. Dov also authored two books Into Oneness and The Open Mind: Loving YourSelf, and in 2010, he began the Facebook group Open Minds for ACIM & NTI. Dov continues to mentor Course students to focus on the blessings of life lessons, relating “Be grateful for your triggers. They reveal our mistaken beLIEfs.”

Scott Grace began studying A Course in Miracles in 1987. In 1993 he started hearing and conversing with Jeshua and allowing his music to become a direct, intimate instrument for the Holy Spirit. A regular at ACIM conferences since 1991, his favorite thing to do with his gift is to channel Song Portraits, music that assists people in feeling an intimate embrace from Spirit as if serenaded by God. He also has received millions of hits on YouTube channeling his altered-ego as the “Spiritual Dr. Seuss.” Imagine if Dr. Seuss taught A Course in Miracles; a playful, disarming, and irresistible way of receiving the truth.
