What does it actually look like to take Spirit to work with us? Not to read A Course in Miracles on the train and then walk into the office and forget all of it, but to let our work become an honest expression of who we already are?
This series gathers some of the most loved teachers in the A Course in Miracles community - Jennifer Hadley, David Fishman, Cindy Lora-Renard, Maria Felipe, and Tama Kieves - around the practical and often uncomfortable question of what a spiritual career really is. Across these classes, we look at the unworthiness that keeps so many of us playing small, the integrity that comes from joining our split mind back into wholeness, the kind of success A Course in Miracles actually points to (very different from the world's version), the willingness to be happy at work even before the work changes, and the faith required to make a leap when Spirit calls us forward.
The thread running through every conversation is the one A Course in Miracles gives us: we are not on our own. We Partner UP with the Higher Holy Spirit Self, and the rest is given to us. As Michael Beckwith likes to say, God doesn't call the qualified; God qualifies those who are called.
Honest, practical, encouraging conversations for anyone who senses they're being called and is ready to answer.

Having a Spiritual Profession - Jennifer Hadley
A lot of us feel a call. We sense there's work we're meant to do - work that would let our day make sense, that would let us stop pretending - and then the next thing that shows up, every time, is the small voice saying: who am I to do that?
Jennifer Hadley opens the series with the teaching she calls foundational: there's really only one block, and it's a sense of unworthiness. Drawing on A Course in Miracles' framing of us as miracle workers and Teachers of God, Jennifer walks through why unworthiness is impossible (we're already as worthy as the acorn that becomes the oak tree), why our only responsibility as miracle workers is to accept the Atonement for ourselves, and why the practical application of the Course is what actually changes lives. She also brings Michael Beckwith's line that landed for her decades ago and never left: "God doesn't call the qualified. God qualifies those who are called."
A class for anyone who has felt the call and let unworthiness keep them from answering it.
Working with Spiritual Integrity - David Fishman
The word "integrity" appears only three times in A Course in Miracles. David Fishman, on the path with the Course since 1977, walks us through what those three appearances actually mean, and into a definition that may be quite different from what we expected.
Integrity, David shares, comes from the same root as integral and as holy: it's wholeness. When our mind is split (and most of our minds are split), we're out of integrity, in conflict with ourselves, projecting that conflict outward and seeing it everywhere. "Another word for integrity," he says, "is purpose." And in A Course in Miracles, our purpose is one: to remember the truth of who and what we are. He and Jennifer also explore why trust is the bedrock of any spiritual career, why the ego operates very much like a computer program (garbage in, garbage out), and why Lesson 34 - "I can choose peace instead of this" - may be the most practical line in the whole book for anyone going to work tomorrow.
A class for anyone working in an environment that doesn't feel spiritual, who'd like to bring their wholeness with them anyway.
True Success - Cindy Lora-Renard
The world has a version of success and A Course in Miracles has a different one, and they aren't the same thing. Cindy Lora-Renard, author of A Course in Health and Well-Being, opens this conversation with the distinction that reframes the whole topic: ego success and real success.
The ego's motto, she points out, is "seek and do not find," and when we're suffering, when we're convinced of our own victimization and of the realness of the world we see, the ego has, in its own terms, succeeded. A Course in Miracles, by contrast, talks about success only in connection with the mind joining with God. True success is transcending the ego. It's using everything that shows up - relationships, careers, even the difficult and painful situations - as opportunities for forgiveness. Forgiveness, Cindy says, is success. And the beautiful effect: when the mind joins with the Holy Spirit, the world we're walking through reorganizes itself to match.
A class for anyone who has been chasing a worldly version of success and has started to wonder whether the chase itself is the problem.
True Peace with Gary Renard

The Faith to Make a Leap - Tama Kieves
Tama Kieves graduated with honors from Harvard Law School, joined a top firm, and was, by every conventional measure, succeeding. She was also, in her own words, dying inside. Then someone said something to her that became the seed of her first book, This Time I Dance: "If you've been this successful doing something you don't love, what could you do with what you love?"
In this conversation, Tama explores what it actually takes to make a leap, and complicates the idea of "leap" itself. A leap, she says, doesn't always mean leaving the job. It can be a leap in consciousness, a shift in how we relate to the work we're already doing. She and Jennifer look at how to tell Spirit's voice from the ego's (Spirit brings Peace, even when the practical answer is hard), why selling out for security inevitably threatens our happiness and our health, and why the deepest practicality is following the inner voice.
A class for anyone holding a dream that won't let them go, who is ready to consider that the call itself is the most reliable thing they have.
