“Be Oneness” is a website dedicated to Living Miracles devotional retreats with David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles teachers. These in-person stays (we also call them “devotional stays”) offer an opportunity to come together in the practical application of the deep non-dual teachings of A Course in Miracles (ACIM).

Devotional Retreats
Living Miracles devotional retreats invite you to dive deeply into Love by offering yourself a retreat from your daily life. Through teachings sessions, experiential exercises, and opportunities to gather together in the same purpose, you open yourself up to a deeper and more consistent experience of the truth of who you really are in Spirit.
Devotion to the Practical Application of ACIM
Our focus is devotion to having a deep “living” experience of the practical application of our teachings; the teachings of ACIM. Our devotional retreats are focused primarily on the practical application of the teachings through selfless service at one of our centers. Immersing yourself in the presence of a devoted community for an extended period of time is a life-changing opportunity.
As we all join together in the purpose of undoing the blocks to Love’s Presence, the awareness of Truth becomes stronger and stronger. The environment and structure of our devotional stays offer a space to focus solely on watching your mind for ego conditioning, repetitive patterns, and unconscious beliefs. When brought to the surface in the Presence of unconditional Love, these blocks can be loosened from and released. Projects and tasks are used with prayer as a way to learn to ask, listen, and follow the guidance of the Spirit. The result is the inevitable realization that we are not “the doer.” This is a deeply transformational experience that you can transfer to every area of your life.
The Importance of Silence
In silence, the awareness of Perfect Oneness is realized as we share the gift of stillness that leads to the experience of Love. From this stillness, you are invited to immerse into the mystical depth of peace—a profound invitation for those wishing for a deeper opening into the Heart of God. This backdrop of silence and devotion allows the heart and mind to open to the grace of emptiness. For this reason, silence is always encouraged as a helpful practice during our events.
Upcoming Opportunities / Ways to Start Connecting
We don’t always have devotional retreat (in-person stay) opportunities available, and even when we do, we would encourage you to join with us first through our online resources and platforms. We invite you to start by visiting our upcoming events page to see what online or in-person events are available. Many people find it helpful to get to know us that way, or through the other ways we offer for connection!
Our ministry is committed to the recognition of the peace that passeth all understanding. By releasing all the veils that cover over the Truth, we realize that the Answer comes from within.
