"The Way" - Friday Opening Session & Gratitude Sharing with David, Kirsten and Friends

Welcome to the September 5, 2026, Saturday Morning Movie Session from "The Way" Online Weekend Retreat, featuring movie commentary by David Hoffmeister.

Ultimately, the commentary encourages letting go of the need to define people by worldly roles, empowering us to awaken to an eternal, all-inclusive love that exists entirely beyond the physical realm.These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, 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-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Saturday, September 5, 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

This dynamic episode begins with an insightful analysis of a Star Trek mini-movie, using the sci-fi narrative to expose how the ego leverages worldly desires—such as the pursuit of physical satisfaction and the illusion of returning "home" in the physical world—to keep the mind trapped in deception.During the live Q&A, the presenters tackle profound topics, answering audience questions about confronting existential emptiness, shifting the mind's ultimate desire toward God, and practical methods for quieting the mind to receive true spiritual guidance. The evening then culminates in a joyful, high-energy "Awakening Dance Journey," inviting listeners to integrate these deep metaphysical teachings through electronic dance music and celebration.These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, 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-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Saturday, August 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

In this Saturday Morning Movie Session for the August 15th episode of "The Way," David Hoffmeister explores the weekend's theme, "I can’t go home without you: TIMELESS union". Using a well-known superhero film about mutants as a teaching tool, David discusses the true meaning of forgiveness and the illusion of linear time. He explains that attempting to alter the past or fix external circumstances is a faulty plan rooted in the ego. Instead, true healing requires going deep into the mind to release grievances, let go of judgment, and shift our purpose to the Holy Spirit. By accepting that the past is entirely gone and the future is merely imagined, we can return to the present moment and rest in perfect peace.Following David's profound teaching, the episode concludes with a Mystical Lounge, meditative music offering that invites listeners to sink inward and let these insights settle into a tranquil feeling of love. These gatherings take place all summer until September 2026 and include comedy, 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-mysticIf you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events Recording Date: Online, Saturday, August 15, 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
