The Community Miracles Center, based in San Francisco, has supported the study and practice of A Course In Miracles internationally through a variety of events, classes and conferences for over 30 years. The events listed here are designed for practitioners and students who are ready to deepen their commitment to ACIM practice. Facilitated by CMC ordained ministers, students of these classes register in advance ($120 for each 10 week session) and agree to abide by certain agreements which support conscious focus and study. The ACIM classes operate on a structured schedule by which the material is completed in one year. Students who complete the Text with the CMC may continue to the ACIM-2 Workbook curriculum. Theses courses are the core curriculum of the ordination program. Please join with us on Zoom to deepen your studies of ACIM, to connect with miracle-minded others around the world, and to stay inspired on your journey to healing and love.

A Course of Love (ACOL) Classes
Believed by many to be a continuation of A Course in Miracles, A Course of Love is a book for open-hearted and willing adventurers, lovers and risk-takers. It is an invitation to abandon all you think you know, and to live as who you really are. As we remember our true identity, we let go of previous limiting beliefs that brought about experiences of struggle, loneliness, and pain. Our authentic Self leads us to live in certainty and with a clear sense of meaning and purpose.
