“As a young adult, my heart literally hurt. I was reading all the self-help books I could lay my hands on, going to workshops, and declaring affirmations, and none of it made me happy. The harder I Iooked for love, the farther away from me it seemed to be.

This all changed when I began my studies to become a minister at Pathways of Light, a ministerial program based on ACIM. The program helped me develop a beautiful relationship with my Inner Wisdom.”

~Rev. Maria Felipe, author of Live Your Happy

The enriching path of facilitating spiritual awakening awaits…
There are many who need your Light.

The need for Light Workers continues to rise as the calls for Love in the world increase in intensity. Based on the principles of A Course in Miracles (ACIM), our Ordained Ministerial Counselor (O.M.C.) program is a commitment to your True Self. It prepares you to fulfill your purpose of serving the highest good of All during this powerful time of awakening. Our program will strengthen your forgiveness practice, deepen your understanding of A Course in Miracles, and prepare you to help others discover the power of Love within them.

    As a Pathways of Light Spiritual Counselor guided by your own Inner Teacher, you will learn to:
  • Allow the Gifts of God that are waiting to come through you to be freely extended to the world.
  • Facilitate and inspire true forgiveness, release of painful emotions and profound spiritual breakthroughs.
  • Experience deepening states of joy, inner stillness and connection with your True Self. This peaceful state of mind becomes your new foundation in everyday life.
  • Identify and dissolve limiting beliefs and emotional blocks that obscure the Light already within you, creating space for new, love-inspired beliefs to take root.
  • Receive clear guidance through developing trust in the Inner Teacher that is always available to you.
  • Live in a consistent state of giving and receiving abundance and gratitude.
  • Accept the Love and Joy that God wills for you by extending it to others.

By first walking this path of healing and discovery for yourself, you’ll gain the experience and trust in your Inner Teacher to be a beacon of Light to those who struggle with anxiety, confusion, depression, guilt and fear.

Why the Training Curriculum Works

    This spiritual counseling training provides:
  • Practical transformational tools to facilitate breakthroughs and inner peace.
  • Methods to help other’s access their own Inner Wisdom for clarity and guidance.
  • The ability to guide others out of emotional pain and suffering and into joy, peace and serenity.

Like many on a path of awakening to the Love within, you may long for inner peace but become discouraged by deeply engrained thought patterns, judgments, and a sense of separation that come up again and again. This training meets you HERE. The curriculum comes from a place of recognizing that spiritual awakening is actually our natural state of being; what blocks us is not a lack of any kind, but rather false and limiting beliefs that are temporarily clouding access to our True Nature.

This program embodies the central teachings of forgiveness, non-judgment, transforming perception and awakening to Love’s presence from A Course in Miracles, both for your own freedom from pain and fear, and to play a role in demonstrating the Truth that sets us All free.

The program courses help you put into daily practice the ACIM teachings on identifying and undoing misperceptions, patterns of judgments and attack thoughts that reinforce fear and the belief in separation. These practices work by removing interference from your mind rather than acquiring something new or special. As a result, you connect with the Eternal Love of God within you, remembering your True Identity and sharing it with others naturally.
