The Foundation for the Awakening Mind was set up in 1999 to support the work of David Hoffmeister and an emerging global community. The wider community includes everyone who resonates with the non-dualistic teachings shared through Awakening Mind and A Course in Miracles.
Our Centers
The original residence of the Awakening Mind global community is the Peace House in Cincinnati, Ohio, which has undergone a renewal to again become a devotional base of operations, and a publications hub and tour starting point.
The Living Miracles Ministry is part of the wider Awakening Mind global community, and supports the publishing of Awakening Mind materials and those involved with Awakening Mind. Living Miracles has bases in Utah and Mexico. These communities invite visitors and volunteers to join for gatherings, retreats, and devotional stays in support of Awakening.

Family of Light
Awakening to the truth of who we are is a collaborative venture of undoing the ego and learning to live a life that is truly inspired. Our spiritual community is a family of light that has been brought together by a devotion to Awakening that we feel in our hearts. The direct experience of inner peace and connection with the Spirit is what it’s all about. David Hoffmeister is the inspiration that has drawn the Awakening Mind community together. His radiant joy and boundless energy is the effect of letting go of the ego and identifying completely with Spirit.
We welcome you to join our family of Light!
Deepening in Purpose and the Benefits of Mind Training
An excerpt from David Hoffmeister’s book Awakening through A Course in Miracles:
It takes willingness and attentiveness to examine beliefs closely. You begin by just noticing the thoughts that seem to fill your consciousness and you will gain some idea of how body-related they are. As you give your attention to the purpose of forgiveness, you begin asking in every situation: “What is this for? What does this bring me? Is this pursuit bringing me security and connectedness and peace and harmony? If I know where I’m going to be staying, who I’m going to be with, and what I’m going to be doing in the future, what does this really bring me? Has there ever been a lasting peace and security in knowing the past or attempting to figure out the future?” What self-concept has ever brought you a lasting experience of connectedness? ~ David Hoffmeister
