About Us

The Foundation for the Awakening Mind is a foundation organized and operated exclusively for religious purposes, sharing the Purpose of Christ as the Living Church. We offer religious teachings based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and join in gatherings around the world in a convention of those experiencing the Awakening of Christ's Love in our hearts. The Foundation for the Awakening Mind is a nonprofit Foundation established for the purpose of teaching and learning true forgiveness, laying aside all grievances, and living and extending inner peace. First and foremost, we shall encourage prayer, meditation, and miracles--the laying aside of judgment--as the means of achieving the learning goal.

We operate as a religious school on the move all over the world, sharing teachings and demonstrating the Divine Love of Christ everywhere we travel and gather. Our missionary work has included trips throughout North America, to Europe, to New Zealand and Australia, and to Argentina, Venezuela, & Colombia in South America.

David Hoffmeister

David Hoffmeister is a living example of the teachings of A Course In Miracles & Self realization. He teaches from Enlightened Mind, shining the Love of God wherever he is invited in the world. David lives a simple life of trust and is supported by the Holy Spirit. Thus he never charges any money and never has anything to sell. His gatherings are open discussions and he invites questions and comments from everyone who attends. His web sites have a variety of free resources (ie., CDs, DVDs, & MP3s) and very profound writings. David’s global mailing list group, AwakeningInChrist, has hundreds of archived messages written from the Holy Spirit as answers to questions sent in to David from around the world. David’s teachings and his example demonstrate the State Of Being Jesus called the Kingdom of Heaven.

David traveled throughout North America during his first 11 years of teaching, meeting with Course groups and individuals in churches, bookstores, homes, parks, & spiritual centers where he was invited. In 2002 he began traveling to 22 countries on 4 continents (North America, South America, Australia, & Europe). Most of these visits and gatherings were in the United States, Canada, Argentina, & Colombia, though in recent years David has also visited New Zealand, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, the Canary Islands, France, Switzerland, Germany, & Belgium as well. In 2006 David traveled to Australia, and made a return visit to the islands of New Zealand.

David will travel to the South Pacific, Europe, and South America for gatherings in 2008 and he is open to invitations in North America and Canada again in 2008 as well. In February 2009 David will again speak at the international ACIM Conference at the Holiday Inn in San Francisco. Humankind is Awakening to the Oneness of God’s Love, and David demonstrates that the time of Peace is Now.

Kirsten Buxton

Kirsten Buxton devoted her life to awakening when she realized that the feeling of Home and the experience of eternal Love that she had been longing for were God. Kirsten joined David at the Peace House in 2004, and during the first 3yrs as a Messenger of Peace she accompanied David on many travels throughout the world. These travels were used as a backdrop for healing and opening to hearing the Holy Spirit’s Voice. Her open dialogues with the Holy Spirit from these years have been published on the interactive AwakeningInChrist online Yahoo group, and have touched hundreds of hearts around the world. Kirsten offers a simple, honest, and straightforward appreciation of healing through A Course In Miracles. Her path continues to involve travelling and sharing the message of the Spirit, and she enjoys facilitating music and movement experiences /meditations at gatherings and retreats as a backdrop for healing and experiencing oneness.

Jason Warwick

At a very young age Jason Warwick became aware of the simplicity of salvation; knowing that the same truth was beneath all separate interests and religions. Inspired by Mother Theresa's devotional life, he felt a calling to live a life of service without monetary rewards. His path involved religious science and working with youth, and after meeting David Hoffmeister around 2002 he was introduced to ACIM and Awakening Mind materials. Using these publications, spontaneous travels and volunteering as a backdrop, he was Guided through many assignments to loosen from limiting beliefs and to open up to living a life of Divine Providence. After joining fully with Messengers, the role of Acting Director for the Foundation was handed to Jason. Jason has stepped into this role, as well as a teaching role, and his gentle and direct approach, along with his total commitment to sharing the prompts Given by the Spirit, are a blessing to everyone.

Jenny Fegerstedt

By experiencing the power of the mind and the light that is our natural state, Jenny has been called to live a life devoted to God. She has found out that she will never succeed in anything but doing God's will and that life has presented her some great circumstances for reaching the experience of Perfect Oneness - true happiness. Jenny never felt like she could conform to an ordinary job or education. All of her life she has been questioning concepts and beliefs by going beyond seeming borders and limitations, with a sensitive heart as truth calibrator. As a child and teenager she studied the Bible and Christianity. Then she went in to some studies of Christian mysticism and Gnosticism. In college she made an essay about Saint Francis. In her twenties the spiritual experience deepened through meditation. When A Course in Miracles appeared in her life it resonated completely with her heart and brought an experience of Joy and Recognition. Now her life is only about clearing away any obstacle to peace through forgiveness. Motto: Transcend Everything; "Whatever rises let it go, let it go, let it go; we’ll be still and see."
