A Course in Miracles’

ACIM Study Group is meeting regularly again,  with new and some old participants:

First and third Wednesdays of each month, starting Sept.19, 2007
7-9pm -- Dewey Hall,  Rm.1, Smith College, Northampton,
located next to John M.Greene concert Hall.

Easy to find. See directions below. Call or email Marianna if you are interested.
DO NOT call Smith College.

mariannakc@verizon.net or (413) 268-0252

Beginners and weathered practitioners of the Course are welcome to try out some meetings once a group starts, however, a commitment to consistent participation is recommended. A pattern of two regular meetings a month has benefited many ACIM students over 15 years of Marianna facilitating regular groups in the Pioneer Valley.

SPONTANEOUS MINISTRIES

Contemplative Circle:
Starting in the fall of 2001, several people initiated gatherings at HOLY GROUND which fostered intimate discussions about social and political concerns in the context of spiritual practice. The first Contemplative Circle had dynamic meetings for a whole year following the fall of 2001.

Spiritual Film Series:
Such a series is
under consideration this summer once again.
Watching selected contemplative films in a small circle has been part of ‘Spontaneous Ministries’.

Please contact us with your particular interfaith idea to share in a
spontaneously organized circle.
