Dependence on God
"Your whole creative function lies in your complete dependence on God, Whose function He shares with you. By His willingness to share it, He became as dependent on you as you are on Him. Do not ascribe the ego's arrogance to Him Who wills not to be independent of you. He has included you in His Autonomy." (T-11.V.6.)
The easiest way to be God-dependent is to give yourself fully over to the present moment and to let go of all cares and concerns of the future. We have to come to realize that our will is not apart from God's Will for us, which is for perfect happiness and perfect freedom. While we believe we are in time and space the Holy Spirit is our Guide, our Comforter, Who offers practical guidance for every perceived need. The Holy Spirit, the Voice for God, is our loving Guide Home.
"Remind yourself that you are making a declaration of independence in the name of your own freedom. And in your freedom lies the freedom of the world." (W-pI.31.4.)
Join David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles community for an online retreat weekend, from July 2-4, 2021. This retreat will include profound teaching sessions by David and our community, live music, an All-Day Movie Workshop on Saturday, and many opportunities to ask the deepest questions on your heart.
This retreat is part of our monthly Awakening from the Dream online retreats. All of our sessions are based on the non-dual teachings of A Course in Miracles. You will meet mighty companions from around the world and have an opportunity to ask the deepest questions on your heart.
What is it like to attend an online retreat?
These retreats are a very deep and intimate experience for everyone involved. You will experience the same connection and engagement as you would on a “physical” retreat, except now from the comfort of your own home. These weekends offer dynamic teaching sessions, movies, live music performances, Q and A, and more. It truly feels like we’re right there in your living room with you.
Our "Awakening from the Dream" online retreats are held on the first full weekend of every month. All our online retreats are focused on the non–dual teachings of A Course in Miracles and its practical application to our everyday lives.
Testimonials
The movie watching was remarkable and that was for me where most came up from deep within to the Heart. With all the Love we know so far, we Thank You all at Living Miracles for bringing Jesus to Life through practical application of the principles of A Course in Miracles and making it all more approachable!
~ John & Cindy, Connecticut
Before the weekend I felt so much uncertainty about my path, where to go, what to do and I had the prayer that it becomes clearer to me. And now everything feels so clear. As Frances said so beautifully, we just have to show up, listen and follow and now and ever enjoy the ride in the now. Following Jesus with a great "yes" is the way.
~ Jana from Switzerland
The result of the weekend is that guidance is stronger, or better to say that I open myself more for guidance. Miracles happen more and more. Another gift I received is that the qualities of being in the now became so clear.
~ Sandrina from Holland

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How will I be able to join the retreat? Do I need to be technically savvy?
No! It will be quite simple actually. You will need a computer that has a webcam and microphone (most computers come with those built-in) or a mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.). Once you register, we will send you some helpful instructions. You will need to have a good internet connection. For optimal audio quality, we also recommend using a pair of headphones or earbuds.
2. Are there group rates available?
Yes! So long as all group members are attending the retreat from the same location/computer, we would be happy to give a 50% discount on the regular ticket price to each additional participant after yourself. In other words, if you register for the retreat via a regular ticket ($150 USD) or early bird ($120 USD) then each additional group member who'll be watching in the same room as you can sign-up for a discounted price of $75 USD. To take advantage of this group rate, please email us with a list of additional names of who will join you. We will then send you the payment link and instructions for everyone in your group to sign up!
3. If I have to miss a session, will I be able to watch the recording?
Yes. On the first day of the retreat, we will send you a link where the recordings of the sessions will be uploaded. Here is where you can watch the replays in case you miss a session. The recordings will be available an hour or two after the sessions for that day have ended. They will remain available until one week after the retreat, and for participants only.
