We're hosting an immersion on Miracle-Minded Leadership in the historic heart of Salisbury, England.
Over the weekend of July 3-5, we will explore leadership teachings in A Course in Miracles, including:
Leadership Foundation
What the Course actually says about leadership.
Egoless Authority
How to embody authority without ego, coercion, or control.
Guided Decisions
How to follow the Holy Spirit in realtime decision-making.
Practical Application
How to translate Course-based leadership into your own career, ministry, organization, or calling.
In addition, you will also enjoy:
- A personal tour of Salisbury with Robert and Emily
- Private dinners together
- Meaningful conversation in a relaxed setting
This event marks the official launch of the Circle Leadership Ministry, a new initiative devoted to cultivating Course-based leaders in the world. If you feel called to lead - and to lead differently - we would love to have you join us.

FAQs
Who is this for?
This retreat is for anyone called to lead in some capacity - spiritual, professional, organizational, or relational - who is called to lead without ego, and who senses that effective leadership can look different from what the world models.
Do I need to be a serious Course student to attend?
It would be helpful to have read the Course at least once through.
How long is the tour of Salisbury?
The tour of Salisbury will be approximately two hours and will include the Salisbury Cathedral and highlights of the town. Total walking distance will be about 3 miles. (Note: You are welcome to skip this part if you have physical limitations.)
Are the group dinners and tickets to the Cathedral included?t
We’ll take care of the group dinners (alcoholic beverages, if ordered, are at your own expense). Tickets to the Salisbury Cathedral are also included in your program fee.
Are Livestream tickets available?
Unfortunately there are no plans to livestream this event.
Will you be hosting this again?
No, we don't currently have any plans to host a leadership event - or another event in England - at this time.
What is the best way to travel to Salisbury?
We recommend flying into London Heathrow (LHR) and traveling to Salisbury by train. The full journey typically takes about 3 hours.
From Heathrow, follow signs for the Elizabeth Line and board any eastbound train - all of them stop at London Paddington (about 30 - 35 minutes). You do not need to buy a ticket for this portion; simply tap your credit card at the gates.
At Paddington, follow signs for the Bakerloo Line on the London Underground and take a southbound train directly to London Waterloo (about 20–25 minutes). Again, just tap your credit card to travel - no advance ticket required.
From London Waterloo, take a direct train to Salisbury (approximately 1 hour 30 minutes). For this leg, we do recommend purchasing a train ticket in advance, which you can book through the Trainline website or Trainline mobile app. (Tip: The Trainline mobile app allows you to easily access your ticket on your phone - very handy).
Once you arrive in Salisbury, there are cabs outside the station or the White Hart hotel is about a 20 minute walk away - although we don't recommend walking if you have heavy luggage. :)
