Delve into the heart of mysticism.
The Tabula Rasa Mystery School is a curriculum unlike any other. Using the deep non-dual teachings of A Course in Miracles, this school for Awakening offers a residential program for profound spiritual immersion.
“Tabula rasa” means the absence of preconceived ideas or predetermined goals: a clean or blank slate. Without a personal agenda, we can rest in peaceful emptiness and at one with our Source. A peaceful state of mind is no small gift and is the one goal of the program.
At the Tabula Rasa Mystery School, you will learn to observe your thoughts and feelings and let them go. When we become mindful, we can observe the patterns and decisions that come from fear, doubt, and guilt. Through true forgiveness, we open to new ideas and life becomes fresh and vibrant!
This 2–6 week immersion includes many experiential sessions and exercises such as metaphysical movies, music, journaling, meditation, and art.
Dates
Winter class: Starts November 2, 2022.
Spring class: Starts March 1, 2023.
Note: All students must arrive between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on the day before the Mystery School officially begins. This is in order to have everyone checked in and settled so we can begin the next morning.
Location
The Tabula Rasa Mystery School will be held at La Casa de Milagros (“La Casa”) in Chapala, Mexico. La Casa has been used for A Course in Miracles devotional stays and retreats since 2014.
La Casa is situated alongside the beautiful Lake Chapala and is a 40-minute drive from the Guadalajara International Airport. This area has long been a draw for those interested in spirituality. This includes Indian yogi and guru Paramahansa Yogananda, who held Chapala dearly in his heart as a place of rest and refuge. With a colorful atmosphere and year-round perfect weather, Chapala is the ideal setting for those desiring to sink into the mystic.

Prayer Stays with us at La Casa de Milagros, in the heart of Chapala, Mexico, are offered for those wanting to step out of the world, and dive deep into the still place of rest within. Our Prayer Stays offer solo retreats for the mind longing to “Be Still and Know”.
A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is our main curriculum of study here at La Casa de Milagros. Those who have been called to these deep teachings are invited to join us in accepting the truth of our oneness. These teachings are another gift among many non-dual teachings that point us to the Kingdom of Heaven within.
“Wake-Up Weekends”
We encourage you to join us over a weekend in order to also participate in one of our live events. These “Wake-Up Weekends” are the same price as regular Prayer Stay visits but with the added bonus of a transformational event!

A Course in Miracles Online Retreat
October 7-9
"Only in time can anything be lost, and never lost forever. So do the parts of God's Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of time brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald of eternity." (T-20.V.1)
Join David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles community for a 3–day A Course in Miracles online retreat with teaching sessions, an All-Day Movie Workshop, music, and opportunities to share what is on your heart. This month's theme takes us deeper into the heart of A Course in Miracles. We will explore the beautiful theme: Heralds of Eternity.
When we allow our brothers to be who they are, we allow the truth about them to be revealed. We see the wonderful reflections of joy, gentleness, kindness, and peace. The world reflects this loveliness in answer to our unwavering "Yes" to God. Now, we let go of time and embrace all that is given us in eternity.
What is Tabula Rasa?
"Tabula Rasa" is a Latin term meaning "the absence of preconceived ideas or predetermined goals: a clean or blank slate". It is a state of mind where you leave your mind open and clean for the Spirit to shine; for the Love to pour through. Without a personal agenda, we can rest in peaceful emptiness and at one with our Source. A mind that is free from judgment is open to receiving and extending the Joy that flows naturally from within!

"Watching movies with Purpose is a way of remembering our true Self."
— David Hoffmeister
Sign up for our next workshop 🎬
Join David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles community for the upcoming All-Day Movie Workshop!

For a taste of what these movie workshops are like, click here!
"Movies are an excellent way to watch your mind, to pay attention to your emotions, and to help you discover what your unconscious beliefs are. When you react emotionally to a movie, it's the same as reacting to people in your life. It's the same dynamics: if you have issues with people, it's a projection of your mind. If you have reactions to a movie, it's coming from a projection of your mind. Watching movies in this way accelerates healing." — David Hoffmeister
Our movie workshops are held every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. MDT and are focused on the non–dual teachings of A Course in Miracles.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. How will I be able to join the workshop? Do I need to be technically savvy?
We use a simple platform called "Zoom," which is very user-friendly. Click here full answer.
2. What movie will be shown?
We actually don't know yet. 😄 Before each movie workshop, David Hoffmeister and our community spend time in prayer about what movie to show that will be perfect for everyone's healing, and so we typically don't know the movie with much advance notice. Therefore, we encourage you to trust that if you feel the inspiration to attend, that David will show the perfect movie for your healing!
3. How do I end my membership?
Please refer to your confirmation email after your membership registration or write to us here.
Note: if you cancel your subscription before your last paid movie workshop, just be sure to let us know by emailing us.
