Publisher's summary

On July 1-3, 2011, Marianne Williamson taught a workshop on A Course in Miracles in Los Angeles, California.

The topic of the weekend was how miracles - shifts in thinking from fear to love - make all the difference in how we live and how we feel. Learning to think differently - to stand psychologically and emotionally on a different ground of being - is the spiritual journey from anxiety to inner peace.

This audio workshop deals with practical issues such as: How do we make the switch from fear to love? What are the practical keys? What makes a miracle happen? What makes forgiveness more than just a word, what does it offer us, and how do we do it? Where do our relationships fit in? Why are they often painful, and how can they be miraculous instead? In what way is our relationship to God the key to our success in the world? How do we find inner peace, and help create peace in the world around us?

Fantastic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this to a friend, it's a really great introduction to the course in miracles or would be good for anyone already doing the course. Marianne Williamson shares stories and really brings the principles home.

What other book might you compare A Return to Love Workshop to and why?

This is not really a book at all, it is a recording from a weekend long workshop.

Have you listened to any of Marianne Williamson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I also listened to her relationships one, but I found I was already quite familiar with the concepts she discussed in that one, also she talked way too fast in the other one. This one is much better and more detailed and informative.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

I think the two main things that I got are forgiveness of myself and others as a way of freeing up myself and receiving miracles and choosing to live in love rather than fear. I'm listening to it for the second time now.

Excellent Listen

Great avenue into the Course in Miracles. Found it very useful to hear actual people's real world stories amongst Marianne's wise words.

Christ without the dogma of man

This is a beautiful teaching on the Course. Marianne has dedicated her life to it, and that comes through in every teaching.

If you are a follower of Christ, but not a follower of Christianity and all its dogma, control, manipulation and divisionism, this is a teaching that will further set you free and inspire your soul.

Life Changing

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes!! I have to many!

Any additional comments?

I credit this lecture for changing my life in profound ways! If I would have picked up A Course of Miracles book before listening to this lecture I would have immediately put it down. The book is dense and written in religious terms which would have easily scared me away. Marianne puts the book into easy, understandable and relate-able terms. The concepts in this lecture can be transferred to any religious/spiritual beliefs. My way of thinking about life has changed completely since understanding these concepts and I really credit this book in making me a happier, more forgiving person.

Spend a weekend with Marianne Williamson!

If you could sum up A Return to Love Workshop in three words, what would they be?

The question asks me to sum up the audio book in three words but the rules for the response are "minimum 15 words and 25 characters". Very odd! That's all right, it's hard to sum it up but I'll do my best... powerful - it will move you on some level whether novice or expert... rich - full of what we love about Marianne, her sharp wit, her tell-it-like-it-is attitude and the "call you on your s--t" no nonsense way she has of getting her point across to even the most closed mind. Lastly, I would say it was kind of sad to have to end this weekend of life, love and truths... knowing that by going back to the [un]real world, our ideas will feel infinitesimal against the Big Brother whom we have to constantly battle. It was an excellent spring of renewal.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Marianne is a "character" and why is too obvious.

What does Marianne Williamson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her heartfelt emotion, HERSELF! She brings it! Her heart and soul are in the material and it's difficult to try to differentiate. Her voice is one of, if not the best female reading voices there are.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

You'll never think the same way... twice. Or feel the way you do before this experience.

Any additional comments?

No hiding I am a lover of Marianne Williamson. However, I can frankly say I would frankly call her on her s--t if she wasn't together and showing up 100% for us in this weekend workshop. She truly does an amazing job of making every listener feel recognized and important to the process. Marianne Williamson will be a constant source or "touchstone", if you will, of the principles of A Course in Miracles. She genuinely grasps the principles and has a unique way of helping others understand.

Not empirical, a lot of religious language

The overall message of forgiveness is good, but this feels like religious brainwashing, despite the frequent claim that it is not religious. The words "The course in miracles" are said every other sentence like a mantra, and a lot of Christian words and symbolism are redefined. This would be like methadone for people stuck in Christianity. Better than a hard drug, but still a drug. Also, you could probably shorten the 8 or so hours down to a few bullet points.

A must listen!

Excellent!!! I've listened to this workshop three times, beginning to end, and I get something new out of it every time! Keep a notebook handy to jot things down! Lots of little gems!

Seek and you will find

I have spent over 30 yrs searching for inner peace, only for it to elude me each and every time. I FINALLY found what I have been searching and yearning for all my life. This truly is a Miracle. I have finally returned to LOVE and found my inner peace. Thank you
