The Council serves more than 300 ACIM students in the greater St. Louis area by providing resources, connection, and community.
We maintain a current listing of every ACIM study group in the St. Louis region — in-person, Zoom, and telephone — so no student has to study alone.
Each year the Council brings a recognized ACIM teacher to St. Louis for a weekend retreat at the Mercy Conference and Retreat Center. Our 2027 speaker is Tama Kieves.
The Council hosts an annual community picnic, local speaker gatherings, and coordinates community-wide events for ACIM students throughout the region.
A Course in Miracles is a self-study spiritual thought system that teaches forgiveness as the path to inner peace. It has guided millions of students worldwide toward a life rooted in love rather than fear.
Watch "A Course in Miracles in Sixty Minutes" with Robert and Emily Perry to get a clear and welcoming introduction. A free Starter Kit — including the video transcript — is available from the Circle of Atonement.
