Teachers | Rocky Mtn Miracle

Our Teachers & Facilitators

A teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one. His qualifications consist solely in this; somehow, somewhere he has made a deliberate choice in which he did not see his interests as apart from someone else’s. Once he has done that, his road is established and his direction is sure. A light has entered the darkness. It may be a single light, but that is enough. He has entered an agreement with God even if he does not yet believe in Him. He has become a bringer of salvation. He has become a teacher of God.
(ACIM, M-1:1-8)

Teaching at RMMC

At the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center, we believe that we are all teachers. The quality of teaching we share with one another depends on our perspective: either the ego’s selfishness or the Holy Spirit’s forgiveness. Our teachers are here to help you understand and apply the fundamental principles of A Course in Miracles, guiding you with compassion and insight. They are fellow travelers on this journey, learning and growing alongside their students. Just like you, they are discovering that they are more than bodies in a physical world—they are minds, exploring the profound truths of the Course.

Our teachers come with diverse perspectives on what the Course says, enriching our community with a variety of viewpoints. We encourage you to trust your inner guidance when choosing a teacher and class. Feel free to visit different classes and talk with the teachers to find the right fit for you. As the Course beautifully states, “Those who are to meet will meet because they have the potential for a holy relationship” (ACIM, T-20.IV.4:8). This holy relationship blossoms in our minds as we increasingly rely on our Inner Teacher.

When pupil and teacher come together, a teaching-learning situation begins. “For the teacher is not really the one who does the teaching. God’s Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. The relationship is holy because of that purpose, and God has promised to send His Spirit into any holy relationship. In the teaching-learning situation, each one learns that giving and receiving are the same. The demarcations they have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their needs, their interests, and all the differences they thought separated them from one another, fade and grow dim and disappear” (ACIM, M-2.5:1-6).

Finding the right teacher is more about recognition than analysis. Your spiritual journey to inner peace may lead you to different teachers at different times, each offering unique insights and learning opportunities. “Each teaching-learning situation is maximal in the sense that each person involved will learn the most he can from the other person at that time” (ACIM, M-3.4:1).

We warmly welcome you to explore and connect with our teachers, and to find the relationships that will support your growth and transformation.

Maureen Ewell

I found ACIM in 2004 while attending a class at a local community college titled 'The Meaning of Life'. I dove right in as I found such truth and gentleness in Jesus’ message. I joined the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center in 2005 and found the community to be very accepting and open. I enjoy facilitating the Zoom meetings on Sundays at 11, usually with my dear sister Geri. I am the bookkeeper for the Center and currently the Treasurer on the Board of Trustees.

Ron Grow

Ron's spiritual journey began in 1969 after he was involved in a head-on crash which was fatal to the other driver. Though not at fault nor seriously injured, he experienced anxiety and guilt throughout the following year. In therapy, he began to realize how much his old beliefs were affecting him. By changing his thought system his experience of life was changing too. Around that time, he met Elnore and they have been together ever since. They have two sons, two daughters-in-law and two grandsons. Dr. Gerald Jampolsky came to Denver in 1981 and that was Ron and Elnore’s introduction to A Course in Miracles. During a subsequent meditation, Ron saw Jesus beckoning to him, saying “Follow me,” while holding up a copy of the Course. His current approach to studying the Course was recommended by Ken Wapnick, who stated often that the Course is broader, richer and deeper than students realize if they have been focussing mostly on the Workbook. Ron then began working through the Text again, a couple paragraphs a day, all the while asking the Holy Spirit’s help. Ron has been a member of RMMC since 1999 and served on its Board several times. He shares his “daily homework” by e-mail and leads a Course study group every Wednesday evening in his home next to Red Rocks. Contact Ron at rongrow@rocketmail.com or phone 303-697-6088. He can help you with the Course and shares Course-based healing sessions in his home or at the Center.

Barb McKinstry

In 2010, after a long private sector career, Barbara decided to become a minister of A Course in Miracles. Barbara was ordained as a ACIM Minister, on Easter in 2014, at The Community Miracles Center in San Francisco, CA. Finding that ACIM becomes a way of life, a way to ask how to see, feel, think in this dream. Barbara has had mystical experiences, dreams and special relationships that provide numerous lessons, forgiveness opportunities and the guidance to be in the world but not of it. Teacher Statement: I am among the Ministers of God. It has come to my attention that I don’t know what that means, but I can be sure he who sent me, will show me, if I but step aside to let Him show me. Undoubtedly I have everything I need and everything that happens is but for the good of all. To say these words is nothing but to mean them is everything.

Geri Thompson

Six months after my husband died, I went to a hot springs in Wyoming with my sister Christine. While in the hot tub we started talking to three other adults. I told them that I really liked their philosophy. Each smiled at me and almost all together told me to find someone who taught ACIM! About six months after that Maureen and I took a course at Arapahoe Community College taught by John Wright called “What Is The Meaning of Life?” The last day of the course, John told the class that he also taught ACIM!! Well, well, what a great surprise. Maureen and I joined that class and eventually ended up at the Rocky Mountain Miracle Center. I know now that Bob is not the ashes I threw out over the mountains and I talk to him every day. Bob had a purpose for his death, because now Christine, Maureen and I are ACIM students.
