"All your past except its beauty is gone, and nothing is left but a blessing."
— A Course in Miracles (T-5.IV.8:2)
Do you feel a spark in your heart for something new? Join Renovatio, a free five-day online movie retreat with David Hoffmeister taking place from October 30 through November 3, 2026. “Renovatio” is a Latin word for rebirth, renewal, and restoration. This is more than just a retreat; it is an intimate space for spiritual awakening and a deep experience of forgiveness through the gentle and joyful lens of movie-watching!
THE JOY OF JOINING
David’s unwavering commitment and lifetime of devotion to following the Spirit have opened a path for us to experience the power of the Spirit’s interpretation of the world. His radical use of mindful movie-watching as a tool for the release of judgment is unsurpassed, and this retreat is your invitation to receive that very gift.
Throughout our time together, we will dive into:
- Deep Forgiveness: Using movies and David’s commentary as a pathway for healing.
- Experiential Sessions: Moving beyond theory into a lived experience.
- Intimate Q&A: Bringing your heart’s questions to the light of Presence.
MOVIES FOR AWAKENING
Movie watching for forgiveness is a fun pathway to Awakening! Every movie gathering with David is an awakening journey in itself—a magic carpet ride of transcendence!
Through prayer, David is “Given” the perfect movie from the Holy Spirit that best meets our present healing needs and themes. This approach to enlightenment naturally supports emotions to arise, and thoughts and beliefs to be seen. When brought to the light of forgiveness, we are healed in a joyful way.

“Very simply, the resurrection is the overcoming or surmounting of death. It is a reawakening or a rebirth; a change of mind about the meaning of the world. It is the acceptance of the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the world's purpose; the acceptance of the Atonement for oneself.” (M-28.1.)
