An Easter Retreat with A Course in Miracles

“For Easter is the sign of peace…”
~A Course in Miracles

This Easter please join us on a weekend journey through A Course in Miracles. We begin with a bird’s eye overview of the Course:

• How It Came.
• What It Is.
• What It Says.

Then we’ll focus on three major goals of ACIM: finding inner peace for ourselves, working miracles, and reclaiming our true Identity as we reconnect with our inner guide and teacher. Also diving deeper into its teachings, exploring and clarifying its ideas while answering questions about what the course means by Miracles and What It Says about how to perform them. “…this course was sent to open up the path of light to us, and teach us, step by step, how to return to the eternal Self we thought we lost.”. ~A Course in Miracles

This weekend we will cover key metaphysical principles of ACIM and other course-related topics including:

• The important role Easter plays in ACIM—Who or What is Resurrected?
• What Miracles are and why you are entitled to them.
• The three-step process the course gives us to accomplish forgiveness.
• What the “ego” is and why our “little I”, is committed to keeping us unhappy.
• Our mind’s fundamental distinction between the real and the unreal; between knowledge and perception and the “two thought systems” that result from them.
• Why ACIM says, that our “Projection makes perception” and how it affects all our relationships.
• Why forgiving ourselves and others is the “key to happiness” and is always justified.
• Why the course stresses the importance of our “looking within” at what bothers us, learning to do so non-judgmentally.
• The ego’s “scarcity principle” and its effects in our experience on all our relationships.
• Three major types of relationships in ACIM.

“Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, …Heaven cannot be found where it is not, and there can be no peace excepting there.”
~A Course in Miracles

The principles of this course can guide you through those times when forgiveness doesn’t come easily. It can help you open your heart, restore your health and joy, and end conflicts. Attend this weekend and learn how forgiveness and Yoga can combine to catalyze a transformed experience of love for yourself, others and the world. You will travel light and journey lightly back to the Home you never left.

Beloved Bharata you have shared such loving and peaceful spirit that really joined us all together. Thank you for sharing this powerful wake-up call. I am believing. ~Past Program participant

ACIM concepts were explained with remarkable simplicity in a short program like this. Time flew by too fast, which is usually an indication of how absorbed we were in this program. Bharata displayed patience, levity, grace, and an ability to promote curiosity and application of principles. I want to thank Bharata for this amazing experience, for the gift of this weekend. It was an amazing weekend. — Sam Desai

This weekend offers a fantastic overview of The Course of Miracles. The concepts are presented clearly and are digestible, even though they are obviously very deep and profound. There was plenty of time for application as well. — Ryann Wayne

Bharata is a great teacher and leader. His course was engaging, fun and extremely helpful, providing useful tools/techniques to help me choose love and spirit.
