Podcasts about opening session

Welcome to another profound session from the online "The Way" weekend retreat, where we open our hearts to the truth that we are all united in one eternal mind. Recorded during the Friday opening session, this episode sets a meditative tone for a deep exploration of our true, limitless identity.  In this gathering, David and Kirsten lead a practical deep dive into the theme "The Gift of Timelessness," highlighting that our true I Am presence exists prior to time. By examining the nature of cause and effect, David explains how the cosmos of time and space is exposed as a massive veil projected by the ego to hide this eternal reality. The discussion gently guides listeners to look beyond these worldly illusions, emphasizing that the miracle of forgiveness is the means God has given us to reach our timeless nature and awaken to boundless joy, peace, and happiness.  In the second part of the session David and Kirsten takes questions from the audience.The Way gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for The Way for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Friday, July 17, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events In this joyous opening session of the Strawberry Field Fiesta at La Casa de Milagros, David Hoffmeister is joined by ministers and beloved companions to explore a profound theme: Community as a Symbol of Joining. Rather than an earthly arrangement or a physical dwelling, true community is recognized as a living demonstration of love, collaboration, and shared purpose. It is a holy classroom where fixed beliefs about personal identity and isolation melt away through open dialogue, presence, and pure reflection.The gathering begins beautifully with the Choir of Angels, opening hearts and preparing the mind to receive the profound gifts of the Spirit. David, alongside presenters Urpi, Marina, and Jason, provides deep commentary on how relationships and dedicated collaboration become our swiftest means for healing. This session offers a direct, lived experience of walking the spiritual path together, inviting both long-time students and those searching for clarity to lay down the ego's armor of scarcity and step fully into the present moment.https://www.the-christ.net/If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Friday, May 1, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic When the Living Miracles community promoted one of the first Strawberry Fields Festivals, Kirsten nicknamed the volunteers the Berries, and that's what everyone who shows up to help is called to this day. After telling this story, David welcomed all the new Berries to share their miraculous journeys of becoming volunteers for the Strawberry Fiesta in Mexico.What followed was a joyous sharing of miracles from our beloved Berries. Apparent problems turned into solutions, and doubts melted as soon as they emerged. The Holy Spirit showed these volunteers that anyone willing to perform miracles for Jesus can be carefree because they will be cared for. Time and space will always be arranged so that we can happily forgive.These journeys of faith, trust, and devotion turned the opening session of the last weekend of The Way into nothing short of a party, a true celebration of purpose and joy. Wherever our Berries came from, whether from Latin America, Europe, or Japan, their trips to Mexico proved to be demonstrations of how the Holy Spirit lovingly guides us back home.These gatherings take place during the first three weekends in April 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for The Way for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Friday, April 17, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

It also features an appearance from "Sliders" actor Jerry O'Connell.

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic The opening session of the second weekend of "The Way" could not have started in a more meaningful way. For the first time ever, Mother Nature showed up for a Levels of Mind gathering with Jason. And the meeting showed how Mother Nature populated its world with billions of people by believing in separation.This was only the first comedy skit in a session filled with beautiful music and lighthearted, funny videos meant to show that laughter is the best way out of illusions. Through comedy, Erik and Jason showed how the Holy Spirit can help us undo competition, control, attack, possession thoughts, and the belief in sacrifice.The session also features deep sharing from Emily and Jiska about being carefree and cared for, something only Jesus and the Holy Spirit can offer in this insane world. All it takes is trust, as the miracles other community members shared demonstrated beyond any doubt. All it takes is getting in touch with our Internal Guidance and asking: "What should I do? Where should I go? Who should I talk to? What is this for?" If you want to heal the world, heal your mind.These gatherings take place during the first three weekends in April 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for The Way for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Friday, April 10, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic In this opening session of the first weekend of "The Way," the Living Miracles community gathers to witness the power of trust over worldly perception. The episode begins with the "Weekend Miracle Update" segment, where Jason, Peter, and Soren share the miraculous developments in building a stage for the upcoming Strawberry Festival. Their experience illustrates how practical tasks are transformed into profound expressions of divine guidance when the goal is shared.The session transitions into an interview with a participant preparing to start her devotional stay before the festival, and into lighthearted comedy skits, followed by a "Levels of Mind" segment. In this latter part, Jason helps a participant navigate the release of deep-seated beliefs concerning bodily symptoms and the complexities of family relationships, shifting the focus from physical effects to their singular mental cause.To conclude, Kirsten and Emily engage in a moving dialogue about letting go of attachments to body image and food preferences. By laying aside these personal preferences, we open the door to the consistent peace that A Course in Miracles promises to all who choose the Spirit's perspective.These gatherings take place during the first three weekends in April 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for The Way for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Friday, April 3, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic The Way of the Mystic Online Revival Weekend 8 - Friday Opening Session with David and UrpiIn this opening session of the eighth Way of the Mystic revival weekend, titled “As If There Is No World”, David Hoffmeister and Urpi Navarro explore the profound shift from believing in a physical reality to recognizing the world as a mere projection of the mind. They share miraculous accounts from the community to illustrate how following divine guidance leads to the natural experience of love and oneness. The discussion emphasizes that pain does not reside in the world itself, but in the egoic beliefs and attack thoughts we project onto its images. By releasing these interpretations to the Holy Spirit, our minds are taken away from the pursuits of idols and led to the experience of the happy dream, which transcends all opposites and conflict. David highlights that the world we witness with physical eyes is not our true home, yet the present moment offers a constant cause for freedom as we remember our Identity as one Mind. This segment includes an interactive Q&A session where participants are encouraged to bring their questions into the light of truth. Through David's and Urpi's answers, we are reminded that every situation is best devoted to mind training, and that on the other side of fear, there's always a miracle that blesses the entire universe and us. These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Friday, March 27, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic In this opening session of the seventh The Way of the Mystic revival weekend, "Vibrational Connections: To Have, Give All to All," we explore how true communication bridges the gap to spiritual awakening. The gathering begins with a moving "Weekend Miracle Update" as Jason and Jeffrey share transformative experiences extending the Last Step ministry to brothers in Ohio prisons. Their stories powerfully illustrate that the Holy Spirit knows no boundaries; in a shared purpose of forgiveness, physical limitations dissolve to reveal the ever-free light of Christ.The session continues with a joyous sharing by Helena and Marce on the nature of miraculous and divine communication. While the ego uses interaction for defense and separation, the complexity of the world of form is felt as a hindrance to our inner joy. Because the ego depends on secrecy to survive, it cannot persist in a mind aligned with the Holy Spirit, whose teaching points to the Light of Truth. The purpose of all relationships is to remember God. By giving all to all—sharing our whole heart with what is given in the moment—we experience the vibrational connection in a space of limitless joining. This leads to full communion with God and to the perfect awareness that what we truly have is what we truly are.These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.Register for the Way of the Mystic for free here:https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Friday, March 20, 2026Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

https://www.the-christ.net/blog/the-way-of-the-mysticThis opening session of "The Way of the Mystic" 2026 Weekend Online Revival, featuring David Hoffmeister, Marina Colombo, and Urpi Milla, sets a profound tone for a journey of spiritual awakening.The session introduces the weekend's central theme: Healing is a collaborative endeavour.David Hoffmeister begins by redefining collaboration through the lens of A Course in Miracles, suggesting that although it appears we collaborate with one another in the "world of form," we are truly learning to collaborate with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that this entire world was built on a foundation of ego-based hatred; therefore, a shift in purpose is required to allow forgiveness to replace our personal interpretations. This spiritual collaboration is not a solo journey but a "collaborative venture" in healing.The participants share personal insights and "miracles" that illustrate the power of following divine prompts rather than ego-based plans. The session concludes with an invitation to join in a shared prayer for innocence, moving beyond past memories of "right and wrong" to embrace the "isness" of God's love.Discover the Way of the Mystic Weekend Revivals.

Embracing Spiritual Unity and Unconditional Love with David, Urpi, Erik and SusannahIn the opening session for the online weekend revivals, 'The Way of the Mystic,' David and Urpi explore how a cherished community song, played by Erik at the beginning, symbolizes spiritual unity and unconditional love. They begin to comment on the five themes chosen in the weekly poll that underlie all the sessions this weekend. The talk focuses on the meaning of loving others without seeking approval, examining the mystical idea that true love transcends physical perception. It suggests that our usual view of others as separate, physical beings is illusory and proposes that genuine unity is spiritual, requiring us to see innocence in everyone. A childhood anecdote about imaginary threats highlights how deeply ingrained perceptions can be deceptive, ultimately urging us to question these perceptions and look beyond surface appearances.For more information about The Way of the Mystic, David Hoffmeister, and Living Miracles events, visit https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded live on October 3, 2025, Online, Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

Presented by Lauren S. Hughes, MD, MPH, MSc, MHCDS, University of ColoradoSTFM Conference on Practice & Quality Improvement 2025 Opening Session | Monday, September 8, 2025As value-based care (VBC) continues to reshape the health care landscape, it is critical that family medicine residency programs prepare the next generation of physicians to not only adapt to policy changes but to lead them. This session explores how physician engagement at the state and federal levels can directly influence primary care transformation—and how those lessons can be brought back to the clinic and the classroom.Drawing on firsthand experience from launching the Pennsylvania Rural Health Model, a multi-payer global budget model focused on rural and frontier hospitals, and co-chairing the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) Standing Committee on Primary Care, Dr Hughes will share insights on how to drive high-impact policy change through coalition building, data-driven decision making, and visionary leadership. These experiences will be directly tied to strategies for training future family physicians to navigate and influence the evolving world of VBC.Special attention will be given to the implications of VBC in rural and underserved communities, where innovation leverages robust community partnerships, deep knowledge of local health care needs, and a strong commitment to well-being. The talk will also explore how the current federal administration's policy directions may influence VBC and graduate medical education – and how training programs can remain agile and proactive in this shifting environment.Attendees will leave better equipped to train, support, and inspire future family physician leaders, those who can bridge the gap between policy and practice to deliver high-quality, equitable primary care.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe how physician leaders can influence health policy at the state and federal levels by exploring examples focused on rural health and primary care.Identify effective strategies to teach residents about the evolving value-based care landscape, especially in rural and underserved communities.Discuss the potential impact of the current federal administration's policies on value-based care initiatives and residency training.Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2025Lauren S.
