Exploring A Course in Miracles
What is revelation, and what is its place in a course in miracles? In this talk from a recent Sunday Gathering, Robert addresses the relationship between revelation—the experience of oneness with God—and miracles—interpersonal expressions of love. He discusses Helen and Bill’s very different relationships with revelation. And he answers the crucial question: why is this a course in miracles rather than a course in revelation? ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

Whether or not you think of yourself as a leader, someone in your life is watching you - and you’re influencing them. In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Emily Perry explores what A Course in Miracles says about leadership — not the “command and control” model most of us distrust, nor the “nobody’s in charge” alternative many of us have romanticized, but something truly rooted in love instead. How can you lead in a Course-based way? ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles. We are the...

The Course has a very specific answer to the question "Who are you?" - and it's an answer that, if you really let it in, changes everything. Join Robert and Emily Perry for this discussion of "Wake Up to What You Are," which will include what A Course in Miracles says is your true identity, the ego's case of mistaken identity, and what becomes possible when you stop asking the world who you are and start taking God's word for it instead. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

So many of us have learned that, in spiritual community, disagreement is a problem. We’re supposed to be positive. Be loving. Anything else is ego. But what if complete agreement is not actually what love requires? In this Sunday Gathering sermon, we share a message called “Rethinking Disagreement in Spiritual Community,” where we explore a powerful question: Is disagreement really unspiritual—or have we misunderstood what love looks like when something isn’t right? If you’ve ever felt the tension between being loving and being honest, this message is for you. Want to join us for a...
info_outlineOvereating and food addiction are often hidden struggles—wrapped in shame, secrecy, and the exhausting cycle of “this will fix it” followed by guilt. Drawing on restored material from Helen Schucman’s notes in the Complete and Annotated Edition of A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry explore the one powerful passage in the Course that directly mentions overeating—and what it reveals about the “scarcity fallacy.” This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, ashamed, or alone around food—and for anyone facing any form of addiction.
