  1. ACIM Satsang with Jenny Maria & Barret, Prayer, Forgiveness and the Miracle State of Mind

    4D AGO

    ACIM Satsang with Jenny Maria & Barret, Prayer, Forgiveness and the Miracle State of Mind

    In this ACIM Satsang, Jenny Maria and Barret guide a deep exploration of prayer, forgiveness and the healing power of miracles. Sharing from the section Beyond Perception in A Course in Miracles, Jenny Maria explores how prayer opens the way for miracles and how true healing comes through aligning the mind with the Holy Spirit. You can also watch this Satsang on our Youtube channel: Jenny Maria & Barret’s YouTube Channel Jenny Maria reminds us that prayer is the medium of miracles — the living communication between the created and the Creator — and that the only truly meaningful prayer is for forgiveness. Those who accept forgiveness recognise that they already have everything. It is for us to remember to use the mind in the right way. Rather than relying on personal interpretation, we learn to offer the mind to Spirit, allowing miracles to replace judgment and restore right-minded perception. One of the participants shares about a strong judgment she has toward someone in her prayer circle. Jenny Maria shares that on her own journey, many “provocative” and “challenging” characters appeared, and these relationships became classrooms for forgiveness and healing. Any time there is a challenging encounter, it reveals to us what is ready to be released and offers an opportunity for us to shift our painful perception. Another participant expresses about the fear of love — the difficulty of truly receiving it and allowing it in. Jenny Maria points to the deeper teaching that the world itself is the manifestation of the belief in the loss of love. The path, she shares, is one of emotional healing, where feelings must be allowed to rise so they can be seen with acceptance, and in that light they dissolve. Returning to the miracle principles, Jenny Maria reminds us that miracles reawaken awareness that the Spirit — not the body — is the altar of Truth. Healing comes as we shift identification from form to Spirit and allow miracles to shift our perception. The Satsang closes in a meditative prayer, resting in the shared purpose of forgiveness and healing — opening the mind to the miracle that is always there! 30th May, 2024 🌟 A Course in Miracles | ACIM Jenny Maria and Barret share a path of spiritual awakening through A Course in Miracles.

  2. ACIM Satsang with Barret De La Luz, Trusting Holy Spirit

    FEB 18

    ACIM Satsang with Barret De La Luz, Trusting Holy Spirit

    What if the very Guide sent to free you is the One you secretly distrust? In this revealing ACIM Satsang, Barret De La Luz explores the inner conflict around trusting the Holy Spirit — and why awakening can feel so challenging because of it. You can also watch this Satsang on our Youtube channel: Jenny Maria & Barret’s YouTube Channel Drawing from a passage in A Course in Miracles, Barret looks at the uncomfortable idea that we “think the loss of sin is a curse.” While we say we want freedom, something in us resists the message that we are completely innocent. Beneath that resistance is a distorted image of the Holy Spirit — a subtle suspicion that Guidance may not truly have our best interests at heart. At the same time, the ego presents itself as a loyal friend, promising protection and control, yet repeatedly leading us into suffering. Part of awakening is unmasking both illusions: the false image we place on the Holy Spirit, and the ego’s false friendliness. Barret reminds us that trust grows through experience. We are not asked to trust far — just to take the next obvious step. Each small willingness eases fear and strengthens confidence in the Spirit's Guidance. In a helpful exchange with a participant, Barret encourages balance on the healing path — allowing emotions to surface, but not becoming fixated on the shadow. This is not meant to be a grueling journey through darkness. Joy is essential to remembering on the path to Home. The Satsang closes with the powerful declaration from ACIM Lesson 216:  “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.” The A Course in Miracles text reading is from Chapter 25. VIII.

  3. A Course in Miracles, Beyond the Body, Movie Session with Jenny Maria

    FEB 11

    A Course in Miracles, Beyond the Body, Movie Session with Jenny Maria

    In this beautiful session, Jenny Maria and Barret De La Luz offer helpful commentary on two different YouTube videos: a touching documentary centered on care for animals and the planet, and a stand-up comedy skit that playfully questions the idea of “saving the planet.” Placed side by side, the contrast becomes an opportunity to question and release the concepts we still hold in the mind around these topics. The session points to a deeper recognition—that there is nothing outside the mind, and no external problem to solve. What matters is the willingness to pass by all concepts and return to the still place in the mind where peace is already present. The session concludes with an inspired reading from A Course in Miracles, Chapter 18, Section VI: Beyond the Body, bringing the focus back to what lies beyond perception and our mistaken beliefs about the body. "Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness, and the knowledge that there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness, and nothing else within." - ACIM Jenny Maria and Barret share a path of spiritual awakening through A Course in Miracles.

  4. ACIM Satsang with Jenny Maria & Barret, Giving and Receiving as One

    FEB 9

    ACIM Satsang with Jenny Maria & Barret, Giving and Receiving as One

    Jenny Maria and Barret De La Luz open this ACIM Satsang with a prayer, dedicating the time to Holy Spirit. Jenny Maria then guides us through A Course in Miracles, Lesson 158: “Today I learn to give as I receive,” opening into an exploration of forgiveness, vision, and how we see ourselves through our brothers. You can also watch this Satsang on our Youtube channel: Jenny Maria & Barret’s YouTube Channel A Course in Miracles Lesson 158 invites us into the recognition that revelation cannot be taught, only revealed, and that time itself is an illusion. The journey is already complete, yet forgiveness is needed as we seem to look back on what has gone by, allowing the illusion itself to gently dissolve. The beginning part of this session highlights the difference between experience and vision. Experience cannot be given, but vision can. Christ’s vision looks beyond bodies, beyond personal identity, beyond stories of birth and death, and beholds only the light in the Son of God. The teaching comes alive through sharing around fear, control, and the experiences of power struggle within relationships. Jenny Maria points to the subtle moment where a power struggle truly begins — the thought “I don’t want to give in.” From here, surrender is re-framed not as giving something up or losing anything, but as strength. What once seemed necessary no longer serves, and now surrender will serve. A participant later shares gratitude for the openness of the sharing and the clarity of the response, recognising how deeply supportive and illuminating the exchange was. Throughout this ACIM Satsang, we are reminded that each encounter is a holy encounter, and that learning to give as we receive is the joyful path back to peace. 7th February, 2026 🌟 A Course in Miracles | ACIM  Jenny Maria and Barret share a path of spiritual awakening through A Course in Miracles.
