Events
Gatherings with Kirsten are an invitation to experience the Peace of God within, and to explore how to practically apply the non-dualistic principles of A Course in Miracles to daily life. Kirsten’s gentle presence allows for an exploration of the most relevant topics on the heart as an inroads to self inquiry and deepening in relationship with our Source and Inner Guide. All events involve dialogue, music and silence. Questions and expressions of the heart are always welcome. Longer events and retreats involve experiential sessions for direct experience and practice of the teachings. These can involve music, meditation, awakening movies, and working in pairs or as a group. Each event is guided by the Spirit and what is present in the hearts and minds of participants. The purpose of coming together for an event is to remember Who we are. It is to experience the light in our minds, and the Love of God in our hearts. With this intention, healing, happiness and miracles happen! Kirsten has held ACIM gatherings and retreats throughout the world for the past 20yrs. It is one of her greatest joys to come together with those who have a Call to awaken, and to see her brothers and sisters light up in recognition of Christ! You are welcome to reach out to Kirsten if you have a strong feeling to host her or an event, or simply to meet up if she is in your part of the world. Email: kiwigirlmystic@gmail.com

“The Holy Spirit’s teaching takes only one direction and has only one goal. His direction is freedom and His goal is God. Yet He cannot conceive of God without you, because it is not God’s Will to be without you. When you have learned that your will is God’s, you could no more will to be without Him than He could will to be without you. This is freedom and this is joy.” ACIM, T-8.
This retreat is an invitation to immerse fully in the Holy Spirit's purpose, so that this awareness becomes a solid reference point and inspiration for your journey of awakening.
By choosing the Voice for God as our Teacher, our mind is aligned with the one purpose that gives us everything we truly desire. This purpose lights our minds with clarity and happiness, with certainty and strength. When we are thinking with Him and following His guidance, our mind is at rest. Everything that arises for healing is able to be seen within this context, and our function is very clear to us. Whereas when we are listening to the ego, its ‘teaching’ does not lead to true healing and peace.
The flow of the retreat will be Guided by the Spirit, based on the Call each day, and the healing themes that arise.
If you feel Called to connect or attend an event, please do not hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to hearing from you! ❤️❤️❤️

We look forward to hearing from you, and possibly seeing you at one of these deep and inspiring Spirit-Inspired events.
