    What Our Students are Saying...

    “The Ministry Training is giving me a sanctuary for my daily practice. The focus on training my mind has made space for divine guidance to show up as I invite it into my life. So many times I misunderstood spiritual teachings, clouded by egoic interpretations. Now I can humbly hear what is true through this course. I don't know all the ways I will use the Ministry Training yet, but I know it was the best decision of my year to take this course.”

    Jahnan Derso

    “The special quality of training with Lisa & A Course in Miracles is the way I feel in Lisa's presence & process. Every single moment I feel deep relief. I feel peaceful, resourced, regulated, loved and not alone. I feel gently cared for and that I'm coming home to my own home frequency. I look forward to every touch point of the training -- daily lessons, studying, 1:1 Ministry, weekly calls, online retreats -- because I always feel relaxed and vertical connection. I am grateful for the Ministry Training with Lisa as I am closer to myself, to the mighty companions studying with me, and to God. This program has changed me.”

    Meet your facilitator...

    Rev. Lisa Windsor (ACIM Coach, Mentor, Minister)

    I am so excited to join with you on this powerful path to peace. A Course in Miracles has been my passion for the last 20 years. Illuminate: Modern Miracles Minister Training Program was born out of inspiration and my calling to share God's Love. It is the program that I was searching for during my earlier years with ACIM. I wanted to go deeper, I wanted to integrate the teachings, and I wanted to step fully into my part in God's plan. I also wanted to meet and join with others who felt a similar calling to these miraculous teachings. I asked Jesus, "Where are the devoted ones?" And soon after, the Minister Training Program was created and students from near and far began to show up and join me on this spiritual journey.

    I am totally committed to facilitating a transformational, inspiring, and intuitive program that teaches the principles of the Course, exemplifies these teachings, and creates a space for ministerial students to embody and experience what it means to live the message of ACIM. This program aims at integrating the teachings through the development of trust in God and the practical application of true forgiveness.

    If you feel a level of resonance, curiosity, or a spark of excitement about this program, I invite you to reach out. I would love to connect for a Discovery Session to explore whether this pathway is right for you.

    Reflections From Our Graduates...

    “I have gotten everything I wanted and more from the minister's training program. It has been an incredible opportunity not just to have a greater understanding of A Course in Miracles but to truly EXPERIENCE its teachings. Reverend Lisa Windsor is beyond remarkable and has a phenomenal capacity to meet you where you are at and demonstrate and teach the best of everything ACIM has to offer. If you are looking for a deeper dive into the Course, please do not hesitate to join this phenomenal program.”

    Rev. Cindy Hobley

    “The Minister Training Program was truly an answer to a prayer. I took the program in 2018 and had been studying and practicing ACIM since 2013. I found at a certain point I wanted to go deeper and I wanted a community in my own back yard! I prayed for a teacher who was non-compromising with the teachings and could support and understand me as I surrendered deeper than I ever had, while raising young kids. Lisa was and still is that presence and guide. She created a community and container for healing that continues to bless me and all that join in. This Minister Training program is an amazing journey of coming home. If you want more miracles in your life then this year of Forgiveness is an answer to your prayer too.  I cannot recommend it enough!! ”

    Rev. Helena Elias

    “Lisa's gentle, powerful presence and the freshness and directness with which the teachings and practices came through her really deepened and expanded my heart's desire to live and share these teachings. And it was such a gift and joy to share this journey with my brother and sister ministers in training! Lisa provided such a safe, strong container allowing us to strengthen in our trust, connection and love of each other and the Source of all we are.”
