See all- Intro to A Course in Miracles (Delray)Kathy Scaman’s, Delray Beach, FL
Today’s gathering will be an introduction to A Course in Miracles. We will read aloud paragraphs of the preface to acquaint everyone with the material — how the book works and what it is based on. We can each share experiences in applying it to our lives. Beginners are welcome.
……..
A COURSE IN MIRACLES ….. A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a teaching device that aims to assist its readers in achieving spiritual transformation. It’s based on the 1976 book by Helen Schucman, the underlying premise of which is that the greatest “miracle” is the act of simply gaining a full “awareness of love’s presence” in a person’s life. The book describes a purely non-dualistic philosophy of forgiveness, and includes practical lessons and applications for the practice of forgiveness in daily life.
……..
PARKING & GETTING TO KATHY’S…. Kathy’s community is not gated. Park at the clubhouse, which is very close to Kathy’s back door. That address is 5185 Nesting Way, Delray Beach…. Kathy’s unit is a villa — 5180 Nesting Way, Unit C. She is the second door from Nesting Way and there will be a sign on her door.
……..
WHAT TO BRING ….. Whatever you want to drink. Paper/pen or electronic device for taking notes.
……..
ACCESSIBILITY ….. One-level building, wheelchair accessible. Bathroom has wide door and a hand rail.
……..
PETS… 3 cats live here.

https://www.meetup.com/BLASTwpb/events/calendar/ - Lesbian Widows Support Group (zoom)Link visible for attendees
Facilitator Andrea says: We're just a group of lesbians who lost our person. We meet on Zoom every other Monday evening. We check in and share anything that is on our minds or in our hearts. Very casual. It’s a great space to connect with others who completely understand how profound this loss is. The women in the group have been widowed as recently as a few months to more than 10 years. Most have been widowed between 6 months and 5 years. No pressure or hard feelings if you wants to check out this group and then you feel it's not for you.
