Welcome

Welcome to The Unlearning School. The site is about working with A Course in Miracles: for more about the Course and further links, see below.
A Course in Miracles
is a complete course of learning for any individual to study in private for their own relief and enlightenment.
The purpose of the commentaries here is to clarify my own thoughts about the Course and to invite further consideration of this profound and beautiful work.
Some of the ideas ... you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter ...You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.
Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, and whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than that is required.

Upcoming workshop:
Sparrows and Eagles


Sparrows and Eagles

a workshop about the silent giant
and the tiny mad dictator in us

Saturday February 6th
Harrow Way, Andover, Hampshire SP10 3RQ
10.30 am to 2.30 pm


 A Course in Miracles uses the image of the eagle and the sparrow, among others, to explain the conflicting attraction in our minds towards both littleness and magnitude. But true greatness has nothing to do with size or status, or what the world calls 'high flying'. With reference to Tom Thumb, David and Goliath, the Borrowers, and Gulliver in Lilliput, we will distinguish the 'grandeur' of what we are from the 'grandiosity' of what we aspire to be.

This is the first of three separate workshops on the theme of greatness - what it means, how to find it, why we are afraid of it - and of our wilful retreat into littleness, illusions and disconnectedness. The workshops are a friendly and informal mix of teaching and discussion in a small group, for anyone with an interest in self-awareness and the deeper questions of life (possibly a very small group!). The workshops are based on the teaching of A Course in Miracles and serve as an introduction to the Course's principles of spiritual psychology for those who know little or nothing about the Course, and as reinforcement and further study for Course students.

 Arrivals from 10 am for refreshments before the workshop starts at 10.30 am. Let me know if you would like travel directions by road or rail. Please bring something to contribute to a shared lunch, and a notebook for your private notes.
Workshops are £30, or £70 for all three. Enquiries and bookings: email anna@unlearningschool.com or anna@annapowell.com, or telephone 01264 395579.

I look forward to hearing from you! Anna
