ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:

Sheri Cooke - 8-796-4758 • sheri@TotallyThriving.comWHAT IS A MIRACLE?
A miracle is merely a correction. It is a radical, new way of seeing which is the opposite of the world's thought-system-matrix. Miracles are both beginnings and endings, they ALTER the order of time. They seem to go back, but really go forward.  They undo the past in the present, and thus release the future.  The miracle brings great relief and profound gratitude when truth and innocence are seen where attack and threat were perceived before. Love and safety are restored, and pain, lack, fear and guilt are gone!  Miracles change the way we see everyone and everything—including especially yourself. This gives us a new experience and purpose for ourselves and the world. Instead of feeling trapped in a fearful, oppressive world with no purpose and no hope, you can now alternatively see a world full of hope and possibility with everyone and everything offering you exactly what you need, to know you are loved, safe, and free. Now you can choose which one you want.  
THE INTENTION OF OUR GATHERINGS is to directly experience this change of mind and heart the Course offers. Gatherings consist of meditation, teachings from the Course, simple transformational techniques, and heartful, mindful sharing. Sheri has been sharing this experience since 1986
It's a direct experience of remembering who you REALLY ARE - beyond your conditioning and beyond your beliefs.
FORMAT:
A combo of meditation • Sheri teaches from her healed•whole•unified mind (so it's spontaneous based on what comes up) • Reading from the book (sometimes everyone that desires reads, sometime Sheri just reads) • Sharing and Questions.  It's a group of VERY advanced souls that are attracted to be there!

Potluck after!


In between gatherings, you will be applying a Workbook Lesson from the Course each day.  
And, there are FREE ONLINE WORKBOOK LESSONS put to song and music at: ACIMRevival.com
Like mantras, these help you remember the lessons each day.  

2 WEEKLY GROUPS BEGIN THE LAST WEEKEND OF DECEMBER
Facilitated by Sheri Cooke

The One-Year Course begins each year on January 1, beginning with Workbook Lesson #1, and Chapter 1 of the Text, and continued at your own pace.

MANY people involved in ACIM - A Course in Miracles are also involved in Unity churches.
Currently there is no Unity Church but there is a group - mainly of former members - that meets on Sunday mornings and discusses all sorts of methodology - including ACIM.

Here is link to the Unity church gatherings in Costa Rica
