Monastery Admins                  

Jane-Admin, the "prioress of The Abbey" (send all photos to her), hails from England and handles general emails about the site. The loving Emm-Admin, who revels in her monastic anonymity, handles all emails relating to the monk, scheduling, sessions, subscriptions, payments, or The Oratory. Bonnie edits the weekly classes, and now adds her heartfelt violin accompaniment. Mother Superior of the Cloister, our beloved Grotto-dwelling, cigar chomping, Matron-of-All, will assist monklings who roam the cloister as only a Mother Superior can.

About A Course in Miracles

Collaborators:Helen Schucman, Ph.D.
& Bill Thetford, Ph.D.

On the evening of October 21, 1965, the now familiar voice of Jesus said to Helen: "This is a course in miracles, please take notes." Troubled, she called Bill, and he reassured her that she was not going mad. He suggested she write down what was being dictated to her, and that he would look at it with her early the following morning at the office. Helen did just that, and the scribing of A Course in Miracles began.

Interviews and media of Helen & Bill here.

ACIM Study Groups

Countries:More than 50 listed

USA:All 50 states

ACIM is a self-study path whose focus is joining with Jesus or the Holy Spirit in the mind, and asking Their help to perceive differently our seemingly external relationships. An ACIM study group, like anything else, would provide the opportunity to do this, meaning it would be no more or less spiritual than any other "classroom" or situation one would enter throughout the day.

There are thousands of study groups all over the world. Extensive listings:
