Tabula Rasa Online Retreat
October 1–3
“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 receive and extend the Joy that flows naturally from within!
This online retreat will be an opportunity to deepen your connection with the Spirit. As a reflection of our Tabula Rasa Mystery School, the Tabula Rasa Online Retreat topics will be spontaneously received as we open to what is truly Helpful moment by moment. Join mystic David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles community for a 3–day immersion with teaching sessions, movies, music, and opportunities to share what is on your heart. 💜
The kingdom of Heaven is within.
The things which are seen are temporal,
but the things which are not seen are eternal.

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!

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
The Tabula Rasa Mystery School is held four times a year. You have the option to apply for a 2-week, 4-week, or 6-week stay.
Autumn — September 1 to October 13, 2021
Winter — December 1, 2021, to January 12, 2022 — ALREADY FULLY BOOKED!
Spring — March 2 to April 13, 2022
Summer — June 1 to July 13, 2022
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.
Prices

Watching movies in purpose is a way of remembering our true Self.
— David Hoffmeister
Sign up for our next workshop 🍿
Discover a new way of watching movies and experience the path of Awakening like never before!
Watching movies is a way of stepping back and remembering that what we see on the screen is not real. In fact, life itself is a big projection. What we see is not real but rather the out-picturing of our mind. There is a method to watch movies in an enlightened way that leads to observing the events and scenes and scripts of the world—with forgiving eyes. These spiritual movies can be used as a way of expanding consciousness and ultimately experiencing the depth and meaning of the Inner Self.

"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
All our movie workshops are focused on the non–dual teachings of A Course in Miracles and its practical application in our everyday lives.

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.)
