The Course is sitting on my bookshelf. I think about starting it but I just don't know where to begin.
I struggle staying consistent with my spiritual practice and worry I won't have enough time to commit to the Workbook.
I’m not always sure if I am practicing the lessons the right way and feel frustrated when I don't understand the lesson.
I have a lot of judgment when I miss practice periods. I often feel like a failure.
I keep trying to complete the Workbook. I've restarted several times but have never made it to the end.
I know this is a self-study curriculum but I often wish I had others to discuss the lessons with.
I've completed my Workbook before but I want to go deeper. Is it okay to restart?

Yes, the Workbook Journey is a wonderful program for new students of A Course in Miracles. It is designed to save you time and delay as you are held in a space of support while you embark on this spiritual path. Most likely you will feel challenged by the language and many questions will arise as you work through your lessons. Our support calls and community will be with you every step of the way to help make your path more smooth. The Workbook Journey offers encouragement, clarification, and support to all new students.
The Workbook Journey Program is designed to enhance your Workbook experience by bringing multiple layers of support and inspiration. Each day before practicing your lesson, you can listen to a daily audio reflection that reinforces major themes, clarifies instructions, and helps deepen your spiritual practice. Once you have read and practiced the lesson, you can spend time journaling with a daily writing prompt designed to clarify your understanding and integration of the lesson. Each week you will have access to a study group call with spiritual coaching support and Q & A.
Tune in with Rev. Lisa Windsor each day as she shares inspiration about your daily lesson. The reflections bring greater clarity, understanding, and inspiration to your spiritual practice. They are not a substitute for your Workbook practice but they are a very helpful resource to support your Workbook Journey.
The Workbook Journey has been created to support you through the obstacles that arise on your journey. We have a support system in place to help you get back on track. Possible options:
1. Open your book and start on your next lesson. Don’t delay!
2. Come on the weekly support calls and ask directly for support.
3. Listen to the recorded support call from the week and be inspired to get back on track.
4. Post your challenge in the Modern Miracles Private Facebook Group for inspiration and support from the community.
5. Sign up for a one-on-one Spiritual Coaching/Mentoring Session with Rev. Lisa Windsor.
Some lessons will resonate right away and others may seem like they are written in a foreign language. The key is to not get caught up in needing to understand. Simply apply the lesson as instructed to the best of your ability and move on each day to a new lesson.
Right now the weekly support calls are scheduled on Wednesdays at 9am (pst). It is recommended that you participate on as many “live” calls as possible so you can ask real time questions and receive direct support. But the Weekly support calls will be recorded and available for at least 7 days. You can also email your questions so they are answered on the support call. Listening and replaying the calls can bring an amazing amount of healing and clarity to your journey.
Eventually, yes, you will have to read the text of A Course in Miracles but you can start with your Workbook lessons. The text is important because it provides the theoretical foundation of the Course and is ultimately necessary for the integration of the teachings. To support students in the Workbook Journey with their text readings, we recommend reading one section of the text each day.
If you join the Modern Miracles Workbook Journey, we recommend you purchase or borrow A Course in Miracles 3rd Edition published by the Foundation for Inner Peace. We have also included links to the Foundation for Inner Peace online version of A Course in Miracles in each lesson in the program, which will give you easy access to the daily lesson reading.
The Workbook Program is a monthly Membership based program so you will have access to the program and supports for as long as you need. It is recommended to commit to the first year so you can complete your ACIM Workbook. After that, many students are compelled to start their Workbook again and stay within the support and connection of the community.
If you decide that you don’t want to continue with the Workbook Journey, you can cancel your membership subscription anytime and you will still have access to the program until the end of your current billing cycle. You can find your billing information and make changes when you sign into your Workbook Journey Course, click “Your Account,” Click “Billing.”
