Seminar Description

Our relationship with our children and parents often constitutes
what premier A Course in Miracles teacher and author Kenneth
Wapnick, PhD, called our “most difficult classroom,” the most
challenging of our “special relationships,” fraught with guilt, blame,
and need. In this A Course in Miracles workshop firmly grounded in
Ken’s teachings, we’ll explore how to change the purpose of our
relationships with our children and parents from rooting ourselves
more deeply in a childish dream of separation, to growing up to
accept our shared interest in remembering the uninterrupted,
eternal Love of our true nature.

We’ll explore how to view our lives as a classroom in which we
learn a new way of relating to our children, our parents, and
ourselves from the inner teacher of forgiveness instead of sin,
guilt, and fear. We’ll consider what the Course has to say about
making our relationship with our inner teacher the most important
thing, honoring the power of our children’s decision-making mind
by connecting with our own, and recognizing our own mind in need
of healing in our desire to fix, change, and control our children and
parents. We’ll discuss how to demonstrate that nothing our
children or parents do can change our love for them and open to
learning to parent and discipline from a healed perspective beyond
guilt, blame, and need.

The workshop will include a thorough explanation of the
forgiveness process, practical examples, guided meditation, and
an emphasis on the importance of being gentle with ourselves and
not taking ourselves so seriously

Susan will be available to speak with participants and sign books
following the workshop.
