Attention: Students, teachers, healers, ministers of A Course in Miracles.

Awaken through teaching A Course in Miracles.

My name is Bastiaan Berende. Six years ago, I felt the desire to accept and take responsibility for the gift A Course in Miracles had given me. I wanted to become a consistent expression of it. With that in mind I explored how I was to teach A Course in Miracles and how to help myself and others to awaken. Ever since I have developed an effective program to study, practice, and teach A Course in Miracles. Time to Teach A Course in Miracles now produces rooms full of honest, powerful, and uncompromising teachers of the truth.  

Learning goals:

•    To overcome fear, find certainty, and teach truth.
•    To advance from a conceptual to an experiential understanding of the Course.
•    To train your mind to think and see differently.
•    To awaken to your true identity and function.
•    To find you own voice; express your authentic self.

Distance Learning

After a tried and successful first year I invite you to sign up for  the  pro-active, interactive, and participatory Distance Learning Course of Time to Teach A Course in Miracles.  The Course revolves around weekly participatory online classes, educational teleseminars, writing, speaking, prayer, and service assignments.
The Distance Learning is intimate and interactive. You spend quality time with yourself and Jesus as you prepare for classes, write essays, and complete additional tasks. The periods of quiet are interspersed with interactive activities: class, chats, correspondence, 'one on one' phone calls, teleseminars, and conference calls.
Then there is an additional variety of tools and resources that the Distance Learning offers: an audio and video subscription on the Time to Teach website, a reference library,  a quarterly Ezine, and a supportive class community.
It takes one year to complete the Course; four phases of 13 weeks each. After completion you can become a Time to Teach A Course in Miracles facilitator and start your own group. But most importantly you will gain the trust and certainty to teach A Course in Miracles in the way that comes most natural to you.

Unique advantages:

•    Participate from your own home.
•    Fulfill tasks in your own time and at your own convenience.
•    Meet and become friends with teachers from different parts of the country and the world.
•    Teach 5-20 minutes in an online class every week.
•    Receive personal feedback.
•    Post and publish on the internet.
•    Share and evaluate your personal experiences.
•    Watch and listen to video and audio classes.
•    Make use of suggested readings and web links.
