Strawberry Fields Fiesta 2026 - Opening Session Friday Evening with David Hoffmeister and Friends

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 The finale of "The Way" featured a profound Q&A session between David and participants following the last movie screening. The story of an obituary agency owner who becomes an Enlightenment seeker sparked deep inquiries, and David’s insightful answers offered clarity for everyone. This recording serves as a valuable resource for anyone studying A Course in Miracles.The discussion explored themes of death, reincarnation, and body identification. David clarified that true death is simply the absence of perfect happiness, rather than a physical end. While reincarnation is considered part of the world of illusions, the concept helps us understand that life is not limited by the body. He concluded that physical concerns arise when we base our worth on these temporary illusions.Forgiveness involves letting go of our fixed beliefs about the world. Through the mind training of A Course in Miracles, we can align with our inner guidance and see things from a new perspective. As shown in this final session, we are supported by mighty companions throughout this transformative process.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, Saturday, April 18, 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 Thinking that we know who we are is what prevents us from recognizing our True Self. This is the main message of the rich movie session of the last weekend of "The Way." Through the story of an obituary agency owner who goes bankrupt, David showed how being in a state of not knowing what to expect is a blessing, even if those facing it may see it as a curse.When the movie's main character ceased to be an obituary agency owner, he started to wonder what he was, what he had to do, and what his purpose in life was. Ironically, that "clueless" state of mind is the best opening we have to accept what Jesus has told us more than 2,000 years ago: that we are the Son of God.The movie session also helped David discuss the concept of ownership, the belief in scarcity, the search for love in idols, and how all that has to be forgiven. Judgment is the problem, which is why Jesus said that nothing you see means anything in the very first lesson of the ACIM workbook. We were not made to judge. While we stick to the idea that we know which situations are good or bad, we will continue to ask for the ego's approval. Why count on it when God Himself has established our worth?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, Saturday, April 18, 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

https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/the-way-of-the-mystic The documentary about the poor boy who became a successful entrepreneur raised profound questions among the participants. It is easy to accept the script when everything goes according to plan, but how to deal with it when an apparently negative outcome unfolds? David addressed that by reminding everyone that the problem is our judgment of the situations, not any particular worldly circumstance, whether people deem it to be positive or negative.As Jesus told us in ACIM, everything is always happening for the good, with no exceptions. When you judge anything negatively, it may seem that God wants us to suffer, which could not be further from the truth. God's will for us is perfect happiness, which is only possible when we have forgiven time, forgiven the past, and forgiven the future. Miracles will collapse time for us.Other participants asked about how to function in this world of illusions so that our personal needs are met. David then explained that our belief in reciprocity is what makes giving and receiving seem to be opposite actions. In truth, they are the same because we are all the same one, loved and protected as an idea in the mind of God.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 11, 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 second movie session for The Way, David uses an inspiring documentary to show how intuition and guidance can lead to a miraculous undoing of judgment. The story of a young boy born in precarious conditions who went on to become a wealthy entrepreneur goes way beyond what the Ego would label as success. His guided path towards that is the demonstration of how the Holy Spirit acts.In a world where the truth is concealed by veils we call reality, we need help to release the illusions that keep us trapped. That help comes through trust. This entrepreneur first trusted his mentor, a man who had connections with the mafia. David warned that, although he also frequently used "purple words" – as a former president of the United States classified his swearing – that was also a veil hiding a precious heart. Judgment is the error.Eventually, guidance led this man to completely change his personal plans. After repeatedly saying he would never marry or move to California, he ended up in Beverly Hills with his wife and kids. That shows how important flexibility is for those willing to accept the Atonement. The fact that he changed so many lives along his way confirms that salvation is not a personal task. It is collective, with mighty companions that the Holy Spirit connects us with all along the way.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 11, 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 'After the Movie' Q&A Saturday Session, David Hoffmeister focuses on the profound transition from the belief in death to the realization of eternal life. David uses the life of Jesus as a metaphor for our own spiritual awakening, illustrating that the world we perceive is merely a dream from which we are destined to wake.Participants asked deeply moving questions about the necessity of sacrifice and the meaning of the crucifixion. David’s answers reframed these concepts through the lens of Easter, explaining that the true resurrection is not a physical event but a mental shift—a complete release of the ego’s grievances and the acceptance of our true identity as spirit.He emphasized that, like the central figure of the movie, we are called to look past the illusions of suffering to the light of the Truth that remains forever unchanged. By seeing the world as a classroom for forgiveness, we celebrate a continuous Easter where the heavy stone of the ego is rolled away, revealing the radiant and innocent Self that God created.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, Saturday, April 4, 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 the first movie session of "The Way," David Hoffmeister uses the life of Jesus to demonstrate how the path of forgiveness leads to the ultimate realization of our shared oneness with God. This session explores the narrative of the world's most famous miracle worker as a powerful metaphor for our own awakening from the dream of separation. David’s commentary highlights that the trials and triumphs depicted on screen are not historical events but symbols of the mind’s transition from the ego’s sacrifice to the spirit’s resurrection. By observing the unwavering devotion and radical love in the story, we are invited to let go of false attachments and embrace a life of presence and gratitude. This Easter preparation reminds us that the only true purpose of the world is to be used by the Holy Spirit as a classroom for returning to the peace of our natural state.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, Saturday, April 4, 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-mysticIn this Closing Session of the eighth The Way of the Mystic weekend, themed “As If There Is No World,” David Hoffmeister guides us into the heart of mystical practice. The session opens with Erik and Pete performing the title song, reminding us that “with happiness we see the truth that sets us free.”Answering questions from participants, David explains that by believing the ego, we invent complex concepts and become addicted to them, eventually thinking we are in special relationships with these very inventions. Since holding even a single opinion about the world is an attack, the mind must allow the Holy Spirit to release it from all false ideas and desires to find true peace.No one who comes here knows what love is, yet through our shared purpose, we can remind each other to remain lighthearted and laugh at the error. Even when the temptation to perceive darkness runs deep, the Holy Spirit reminds us that dreams are only dreams. Throughout the session, directed by Jiska and interspersed by the musical performances of Erik and Pete, David teaches us that by remaining joyously clear on our purpose of forgiveness, we can learn to be very present and not to take any of the world scenes seriously. In truth, “we are One with God in Love. And He says there is no world.”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, Sunday, March 29, 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
