Learn ACIM Pop-Up Schedule

Classes will be held from 11am - 11:45am EST on the dates below.

SESSION 1 - WEDNESDAY, JULY 16th

How the Course Came & What It Is

We’ll begin with the remarkable story of how A Course in Miracles came into the world and introduce you to the inner voice that authored it. You’ll also learn how the Course is structured as a true spiritual curriculum, with each volume playing a unique role in your journey of learning and transformation.

SESSION 2 - FRIDAY, JULY 18th

God & Your True Identity

Next, we’ll explore the Course’s foundational teaching: that you were created by a God of perfect love as a pure extension of Himself—long before the world began. This is your true identity, and it remains “complete and healed and whole”, even now. Realizing this changes everything about how you see yourself, your life, and what healing truly means.

SESSION 3 - WEDNESDAY, JULY 23rd

The Separation & the Holy Spirit

Here, you’ll learn about the moment the Course calls “the separation”—the choice to turn away from God and believe we are on our own. We’ll also introduce you to the Holy Spirit, your inner Guide, who speaks for God in your mind and gently leads you back home. If you've ever asked, "Why is the world like this?" or "Why am I like this?", this teaching offers a framework that explains the origin of our pain—and offers a way out.

SESSION 4 - FRIDAY, JULY 25th

The Ego & Its Thought System

Now we turn to the ego—that inner voice behind all fear, judgment, and conflict. In this class, you’ll begin to recognize the ego’s influence and, more importantly, learn how to loosen its grip. You’ll discover that there is another Voice within you—one that is loving, wise, and deeply trustworthy—and that following this better Guide is the path to true peace.

SESSION 5 - WEDNESDAY, JULY 30th

Perception & How to Change It

In this class, you’ll learn how perception works and why it plays such a powerful role in your experience of life. The Course teaches that a shift in perception—from fear to love—can change how you feel and respond in any situation. This means you don’t have to wait for your circumstances to improve in order to find peace. As your perception changes, your whole experience of the world begins to change too.

SESSION 6 - FRIDAY, AUGUST 1st

Forgiveness & Miracles

Finally, we’ll look at the Course’s central practice: forgiveness. If you’re carrying pain, resentment, or regret, forgiveness offers a way to release the weight of the past—not by denying what happened, but by freeing yourself from its grip. You’ll learn what forgiveness really means in Course terms (it’s probably not what you think), and how practicing it opens the way for you to give miracles—acts of love that bless others and bring healing to your own mind.

About Circle of Atonement

From our origin in 1993, the purpose of the Circle of Atonement has been to be a bridge into the profound and unparalleled wisdom of A Course in Miracles. We clarify the Course’s sometimes difficult language in order to make possible a deeper understanding of its teachings. We then help you put those teachings into practice, explaining how to apply them in your everyday life. Our work grows out of our commitment to be as faithful as possible to what A Course in Miracles says. It also grows out of our years of dedication to walking this path ourselves and our desire to see the Course’s purpose realized in the lives of students and in the world.
