Session 1:

The Joy of Being: Abidance in the I Am Presence

with

Lisa Natoli

A joyful voice of living presence whose teachings make awakening
practical, natural, and deeply human.

Monday, August 10th
12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EDT

Lisa shares from her new book The Joy of Being,
inviting a gentle yet profound shift from practice to abidance.

This conversation points to the simplicity of resting as awareness itself
where devotion, prayer, and self-inquiry merge
into a lived experience of peace and Joy of Being.

What does it mean to abide as the Self?
Is joy a natural condition of Being?
How does a devotional practice integrate with non-duality?

We'll talk about how to stabilize awareness,
live from presence, and embody peace in daily life.

Session 2:

Recognizing Love's Perfect Creation:
From Healing to Being

with

Oliver Blue

Bringing together A Course in Miracles and nondual understanding,
Oliver points directly toward the ever-present choice for Love.

Monday, August 17th
12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EDT

We'll explore the gentle shift from trying to heal the separate self
to recognizing that Love's perfect creation has never been damaged.

Is healing a process, or a recognition?
What changes when we stop trying to fix ourselves?
Can we move beyond becoming into simply being?

We'll talk about the end of self-improvement,
the peace that comes from resting as awareness,
and how A Course in Miracles and the Direct Path
both point to the wholeness that has always been here.

Session 3:

The Illusion of Separation &

The Awareness of Being God

with

Gary Renard

Beloved author and internationally respected teacher of A Course in Miracles,
known for bringing profound truths with warmth, humor, and clarity.

Monday, August 24th
12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EDT

What is awakening according to A Course in Miracles
and how does the Direct Path point to the same realization – right now?

Gary brings his signature clarity and humor, along with insights
from his newly announced book The Awareness of Being God.

We'll explore the idea that separation never truly occurred,
and that awakening is not a process of becoming
but remembering what has always been true.

Is awakening gradual or instantaneous?
What does it mean to “remember God” vs. “be aware as God”?
Can the Course be practiced as a Direct Path teaching?

We'll talk about undoing doubt, understanding illusion,
and the practical application of forgiveness as recognition.

Session 4:

From Suffering, to Stillness:
Awakening Through Devoted Practice

with

Keith Kavanagh

A contemporary ACIM and nondual teacher whose uncompromising yet compassionate style reveals the simplicity of what we truly are.

Monday, August 31st
12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EDT

Keith shares a deeply relatable and powerful journey
from years of debilitating anxiety to the direct experience
of peace and Oneness through committed ACIM practice.

This session bridges the gap between seeking relief and recognizing the Self.

It speaks directly to those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in the mind.

How does suffering become the doorway to awakening?
What roles do devotion and consistency play in ACIM practice?
When and how does the shift from “healing” to “Being” occur?

We'll talk about working with fear, anxiety, and resistance
as part of awakening not obstacles to it.
