A Course of Love Groups
Online Groups
You can join a group that meets via Zoom videoconference or via telephone
If you would like to connect with other readers online, there are A Course of Love groups that gather via Zoom Videoconferencing or via telephone.
What is Zoom Videoconferencing? Zoom is an easy-to-use online videoconference application that features high quality video, audio, and screen-sharing capabilities, resulting in an experience that comes close to an in-person meeting. You have the option to enable your camera, if you would like to be seen by other participants, or keep it off. You can join a Zoom meeting via computer (Windows, Mac or Linux) or mobile device (Android, iOS or BlackBerry).
Click the YouTube icon below to watch a sample session of a Zoom Group, with an introductory dialogue between a group facilitator and Mari Perron about their experiences with participating in online groups.
You may also join a group that meets via telephone instead of Zoom. Click here to scroll down to the Telephone Groups section.

Wednesdays
- 9:00 AM Pacific Time US
This 60-minute sacred space is dedicated to reading the ACOL text together as a group. Throughout our connection, organic dialogues occur. These conversations are typically a result of someone posing a question about the reading, a thought that the reading brought to mind, or a story from their own lives that exemplifies what we have read. As facilitators, our intention is to hold the container and be led by Spirit to contribute, rather than leading the discussion.
