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.

A Course in Miracles Online Retreat
July 1-3
"Without your special function has this world no meaning for you. Yet it can become a treasure house as rich and limitless as Heaven itself. No instant passes here in which your brother's holiness cannot be seen, to add a limitless supply to every meager scrap and tiny crumb of happiness that you allot yourself." —A Course in Miracles (T-26.I.5.)
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, live music, and many opportunities to share what is on your heart.
Each of us has a special function. The Spirit knows exactly where in the plan we can be of most help; He can use all our skills and abilities to heal and bless. Our special function is given us in every moment, as we are gently guided toward our brother to take our part in the plan of forgiveness.
During this weekend retreat, we will explore our "Spirit-Given Function" and rejoice that we have found our part in God's plan for salvation!
"Such is the Holy Spirit's kind perception of specialness; His use of what you made, to heal instead of harm. To each He gives a special function in salvation he alone can fill; a part for only him. Nor is the plan complete until he finds his special function, and fulfills the part assigned to him, to make himself complete within a world where incompletion rules." —A Course in Miracles (T-25.VI.4.)
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!
Testimonial:
"The retreat was truly a miracle. All my deepest questions were answered. The participants expressed what was on my heart. I am so grateful for this deep love that is extended in this community. My heart opens up continuously." — Maike, Germany

"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

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 an inspiration to attend, that David will show the perfect movie for your healing!

4. How do I end my membership?
If you would like to end your membership, you can cancel your monthly payment in the "Settings" section of your PayPal account. Your subscription will then automatically expire. However, please do not cancel until after the last movie workshop you've paid for. Otherwise, it will also cancel the automatic emails we'd have sent you with the Zoom link for those movies!
(Note: if you accidentally cancel your subscription before your last paid movie workshop, just be sure to let us know by emailing us at [email protected] so we can be sure to send you the Zoom links manually.)
