Workshops in Your Area
Members of our staff are available to give a talk or present a weekend workshop in your area. We view such events as a welcome opportunity to meet with those who are students of the Course and who read our writings and listen to our audio programs.
Your Responsibilities
What is required of you? You will need to be responsible for all the organizing of the event: finding a facility, local publicity, volunteers to handle registration and a book table, and producing a registration packet for people who might need information on where to eat or where to stay. We will provide the speaker and the program.
Financial Arrangements
Any up front expenses, including classroom reservations, airfare and accommodations for the speaker(s), would need to be provided by you, at your own risk. You can set a fixed charge for the event ($45 to $60 per day is quite reasonable), or depend on freewill offerings, however you choose. We have found that, to cover normal expenses for a weekend workshop, a minimum of 25 attendees is desirable; this varies, of course, depending on the cost of air travel from Phoenix to your location. After the event, the expenses are deducted from the proceeds. Whatever remains is commonly split 50-50 between you (the organizers) and the Circle. Some organizers, in the past, have chosen to donate all the remaining proceeds to the Circle.
Topics of Workshops
Our Path of Light weekend workshop is especially valuable for introducing people to A Course in Miracles or revitalizing your studies of this remarkable path of light. Or you can suggest a topic for us. Some topics of lectures and workshops we have presented in the past include:
Bringing the Course to Life: The Workbook as a Spiritual Practice
I Need Do Nothing: Finding the Quiet Center
Holy Relationships
The Journey Home: A Map of the Spiritual Journey
He Would Help You Yet a Little More: Our Relationship with Jesus
