CLASSES ON THE TEXT OF A COURSE IN MIRACLES
Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D.

The Center is happy to present the Foundation for A Course in Miracles' DVD series "Classes on the Text of A Course in Miracles" by Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D. This series consists of 32 two-hour classes conducted by Dr. Wapnick on the chapters of the text. The overall purpose of these classes is to enhance students’ understanding and appreciation of A Course in Miracles, in terms of its magnitude both as a thought system and as a work of art. Such appreciation, it is hoped, will facilitate students’ study of the Course enabling them to learn and practice its teachings in a gently consistent manner as they strive to integrate them into their daily lives.

The series begins with a general introduction to the series and to the text itself — its form (the way it is written) and its content (what it says). The introductory class shows how A Course in Miracles, unlike most linearly structured texts, is symphonically presented, with its themes and principles woven into the teachings throughout, much the same as leitmotifs are woven into the fabric of a musical composition. The Course is thus seen as the perfect integration of form and content, a framework within which the prominent principles and themes in each chapter are presented in succeeding classes.

Classes are held at the Center and run approximately 3 hours with a 30-minute break and will include a question-and-answer period. Pre-registration is encouraged as seating is limited. See specific sessions below:
