As these complex, uncertain times continue on, we need the refuge that spiritual practice provides more than ever.
There’s a great need for more of us to not only find inner peace, but to stabilize our realization so that our way of being provides spiritual shelter for others.
We need all the help we can get.
We need one another — and we need Grace.
Grace is so much more than a beautiful state that fills your heart with gratitude. It’s direct experience of Divine Presence coming alive from within — reconnecting you to the Source of boundless love, peace, clarity, strength, and joy that are independent of external circumstances.
How does Grace come alive? Through surrender — which isn’t about giving up or submitting to an external authority. True spiritual surrender is an ongoing process of Ego Relaxation — learning to be present and undefended with what IS.
Grace is available to help you navigate these challenging times with peace and inner calm — and help you harness your life situation as an opportunity for authentic transformation and constructive change.
Join us for a 26-session advanced program with interfaith minister, modern mystic, and author Miranda Macpherson — and learn to respond to the Divine Invitations appearing in your life.
As your spiritual maturity deepens, you’ll evolve into the most noble version of yourself, which is what our world needs most right now.
With Miranda as your guide, you’ll turn more substantially within, recognizing the Mystery that birthed you into being — the one that’s known and loved you all the days of your life.
You’ll cultivate the courage to face whatever scares you, grow more spiritually resilient, and open to new depths of awareness and possibility...
You’ll come to truly embody your noble qualities in service to your loved ones, community, and our world in transition.
As you move through this advanced program, Miranda will share further nuances of her feminine, holistic approach to spiritual surrender based on the practice of Ego Relaxation.
Expanding on the foundations in her book The Way of Grace: The Transforming Power of Ego Relaxation and her previous Shift courses, Miranda will share how to drink more substantially from the inner stream of nourishment that’s always flowing — even while we navigate COVID-19, racial injustice, and financial instability.
You CAN find shelter from the storm in the place where it can always be found — at the very core of your own being.
Join an international spiritual community with a teacher who's passionately dedicated to loving you all the way home to the freedom and wholeness that is your birthright.
Miranda will provide you with a rich, potent, and integrated map of awakening. She’ll guide you to turn more deeply within, relax into the luminous presence at your core, open your heart to all you find — and expand into deeper dimensions of consciousness, so you can respond gracefully to the invitations of our times.
Each session includes a rich teaching and transmission, with precise inquiry practices, nuanced meditations, and exquisite chanting.
If you’ve worked with Miranda before, this course will go deeper into chanting (with a harmonium and Miranda’s own recordings) and leading guided meditations before each inquiry — including inspirational visuals and more nuanced instruction on the meditation practices and the mantras she’s shared in previous Shift courses.
And if you haven’t studied with Miranda before, this extended, holistic journey is the perfect place to begin — she'll address the specific spiritual issues we’re all facing during these uncertain times...
In addition to the regular 30-minutes of Q&A within each class, each of the six modules will include a 90-minute integration and expanded satsang session — where Miranda will work directly with the group questions and reflections, modeling exactly how their obstacles can be transformed into wisdom.
As you learn to relax — stepping outside of the confines of your mind and into the Grace that’s always been here and is with you now and always — you’ll recognize that, even amidst these challenging times, you can always experience joy... and you are infinitely blessed.
Miranda designed this journey to help you harness these times as a Divine Invitation for a substantial shift in your way of being — inwardly, yes, but also in the way you live your daily life...
She’ll help you not only shelter in place but in GRACE, so you’ll emerge from these times as a truly graceful human being — one who remains present and open-hearted in chaotic and difficult circumstances.
In this 26-part transformational intensive, Miranda will guide you through the fundamental body-mind-spirit skills and competencies you’ll need to live as a truly grace-filled human being who’s awake, present, grounded, and open.
This course will feature step-by-step teachings and experiential practices with Miranda. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to turn within, relax into the luminous presence at your core, and expand into deeper dimensions of consciousness.

These uncertain times where our “normal” routines have been powerfully interrupted presents many challenges...
However, it also presents us with an opportunity like never before to befriend this time of change as the Divine Invitation it really is — a chance to wake up out ofeverything that does not truly serve you, yield to a deeper intelligence that has always been running the show... and allow for positive change.
In this 4-week opening module, Miranda will share how to look upon these times as a collective birthing process — and as we know, birth is often intense, wild, and unpredictable.
If we’re wise, we learn to surrender INTO the process, and do our best to align with it, saying “yes” rather than “no”. (The ego’s default is always NO!)
We must learn to wake up OUT OF ego fear, control, conditioning, defenses, and wake up INTO our essential qualities — where we recognize our interconnectedness with everything in existence.
Connected and unified from within, we naturally respond from a consciousness of love and clarity in daily life. As our world is being born anew, we can also be born into a new way of being that is powerfully loving, liberated and wise.
How can we harness this situation to evolve us into the most noble, graceful human beings we can possibly be? The Practice of Ego Relaxation is the “how” of Miranda’s methodology, and she’ll guide you to engage it through Holistic Inquiry, Meditation and Devotional practice. The underpinning principle is:
“You” don’t “do” spiritual transformation. Relax the resistance, and it finds you.
Miranda will introduce you to the four dimensions of Grace, and how we apply Ego Relaxation to the invitations’ life is bringing to you in these times — so that it can come alive within you.
You’ll discover how to harness the precise circumstances you are facing as a divine curriculum, and to take the attitude ofthe happy learner.
Miranda will show you how to discern the difference between authentic surrender and collapse.
Ego Relaxation does not ask you to be passive and not take appropriate actions in your life, rather, it asks for you to understand and learn to relax your EGO ACTIVITY, the ways we are so often getting in our own way through trying to bypass or push past our challenges.
You’ll learn to yield into what IS, which is the essence of the great Sanskrit liberation mantra “Om Nama Shivaya”. Such surrender brings us back into the receptive condition where we feel the Grace that is always present...as our very foundation, bubbling up from within to give us sustenance and support.
This provides us with an instantaneous oasis of calm inside. It is where we can rest in natural great peace, even though the outer world outside may be quaking. Learning to rest inwardly, you can respond in daily life from your deepest center.
In this opening module, you’ll:
In the final session of this 4-session module, Miranda will lead you in a special integration session...
You’ll move through chanting practices, meditation, and a review and deepening of the previous weeks’ sessions.
Miranda will then guide you through a full hour of satsang, where she’ll work more deeply with your questions, grapplings and realizations.
The teachings will come vividly to life in response to the group field, as Miranda models how everything you experience can become a gateway into ever-deepening Grace.




Right now we’re all navigating the turmoil of the collective — trying our best to process the uncertainty of our future, and what our world will look like at the end of this tunnel.
While these times potentially can offer us expansive new possibilities, we must not bypass the human challenges.
The spirituality that our world needs now recognizes that human suffering must be met deeply with love.
In this module, Miranda will encourage you to ask, How can we harness these times of change and uncertainty in a way that comes from spiritual maturity — rather than fear and reactivity?
She’ll help you turn towards your challenging emotions of fear and anger — as well also unconscious self-centeredness and reactivity. While these responses are all-too-human and inevitable in these unsettling, intense times... you can instead meet these challenges with courage, compassion, and curiosity.
Together, you and your fellow participants will learn surrender — not through struggling to transcend your ego, but by opening in and through the authentic truth of your direct experience...
In this module, you’ll:
During the closing session of this second module, Miranda will lead you in a special integration session...
She’ll begin with a mantra (Om Tare Tutare Ture So Ha) and a Mountain of Presence meditation to help you stay present and meet everything with Courage, Compassion and Curiosity, as well as a review and deepening of the previous weeks’ sessions.
She’ll then once again move into an hour-long satsang, where she’ll work more deeply with your questions, grapplings and realizations. The teachings will come vividly to life in response to the group field, as Miranda models how everything you experience can become a gateway into ever-deepening Grace.




At this point on your journey, you’ll be awake to the Divine Invitations appearing within your life. You’ll understand how to practice ego relaxation, with the waves of emotion and energy coming up...
You’ll have removed the “sting” from the reactivity that’s inevitable when there’s great suffering in your midst. You’ll have deepened your capacity to stay present and undefended with what is — and gained deeper access to the Grace that is our inherent foundation...
In this pivotal third module, Miranda will guide you to receive deep inner nourishment, opening to the subtle-yet-substantial forces that are available to help you regenerate.
She’ll introduce you to her powerful teaching, “Trusting the Mystery,” and how this pivotal virtue can be applied specifically to help us in these uncertain times.
Miranda will share the stages in the development of Trust outlined in theA Course in Miracles manual for teachers, opening the possibility of trusting that all is well — even when outward circumstances don’t appear that way.
Miranda will share a teaching on “Taking Refuge” where you’ll make a connection with an enlightened being you’re drawn to — or work more deeply with a mantra you’ve explored in the previous module...
In this powerful, beautiful, restorative and nurturing part of the program, you’ll:
In the final week of this third module, Miranda will lead you in a special integration session...
You’ll learn the rejuvenating, enlightened Gayatri mantra — known as the mother of all Sanskrit mantras — including the body movements... as you’ll discover, it’s like taking a light bath each day.
Miranda will also share a Shower of Grace meditation, and review the previous weeks’ sessions.
Once again you’ll conclude with an hour-long satsang, where Miranda responds to your questions, aha ! moments and breakthroughs.





By now you’ve opened to taking refuge in a depth of Grace beyond conceptual understanding. You’re learning to trust the mystery that’s unfolding...
In this module, you’ll enter the heart that’s deeper than emotion — the Heart of the Absolute.
The Absolute is the silent depth where everything is absorbed into a great silence. It’s the mystical womb of the universe, the place of the deepest rest — and the deepest resolution.
Having seen some of your subtle or not-so-subtle ego defenses, self-centeredness and reactivity, you’ll likely be feeling quite humbled...
And so Miranda will guide you through the next step of becoming the graceful human being you want to be — facing yourself honestly and opening up to the correction of errors.
This isn’t a process of righting wrongs or judgment, but of understanding thatTrue Forgiveness requires Grace. It requires the non-dual foundation that we’re all innocent in eternity, but not in the realm of time.
Over two sessions you’ll explore Miranda’s teaching, Grace of True Forgiveness — one part will address the need for self-forgiveness, the other will address our need to let forgiveness cleanse us of our hate and demonization of the other. .. even when we feel sure we don’t have hatred within us.
Unfortunately, harboring hatred (even giving someone the cold shoulder without realizing it) is very human, and it’s clearly a huge problem on our planet today.
Hate drives racism, and the ugliest forms of us vs. them mentality, preventing us from being graceful with different perspectives and values.
Once you’ve started working through hatred and forgiveness, though, you’ll find JOY and GRATITUDE much more available...
In this module, you’ll explore:




At the heart of spiritual transformation — and indeed, every life question we grapple with — is the perennial spiritual question... who am I?
If you understand yourself to be your personality, the roles you play in life, the character of YOU — you’ll continue to be shaken up by life’s ups and downs.
In this module, Miranda will guide you to address the bondage in your mind and open into the spaciousness and pure awareness that is I AM — who you truly are and always have been at every age and stage of life.
Uncovering the jewel of your essential self demonstrates YOU are the love, peace, beauty, meaning and freedom you’ve been seeking all this time. This module is dedicated to helping you experience this, not just understand it conceptually.
You’ll work with Miranda’s powerful “unwinding your core ego identity” process. It unlocks the rubik’s cube of your familiar self and its patterns...
This work integrates rare psychological insight into how personality structures are constellated in our earliest childhood experiences — with spiritual understanding of the “fall from grace” that all human beings go through...
You’ll explore the curious phenomena of how the ego tends to re-constellate back to familiar stories, even after you’ve dropped through them to a deeper reality.
To determine whether a story binds you or serves you, you’ll learn to spot the difference between immediate direct experience and the meaning you give to the story. Also, you’ll learn to relax your attachment to adhering to this story as though it were true.
From there, you’ll stretch out and explore the spaciousness within — the pure freedom and possibility. You’ll discover there’s no beginning, middle, or end to what you are...
In this powerful module, you’ll discover how:
In this module’s integration session, Miranda will lead you in a chant of I AM along with two meditations, “Abiding as Loving Awareness” and a classical Advaita meditation on “I Am” — and a review and deepening of the previous weeks’ sessions.
You’ll once again be able to ask Miranda your questions and get feedback in real time during the full hour or satsang.





Just as nature continues to cycle and unfold, there’s no end to becoming more fully who you truly are.
In this final module, Miranda will show you how to embody what you’ve been realizing deeper into daily life — to share the blessings with your loved ones and community.
You’ll recognize that there is no such thing as “your” awakening, if it doesn’t contribute more truth, goodness, beauty and virtue deeper into this world.
Now is the time to stop holding your love back, take creative risks and share your inherent goodness, latent talents, creativity, and kindness.
You’ll explore what it means to live your life Resting in Grace while becoming a refuge for others as you walk this world. You’ll stabilize your relaxation by prioritizing your practice.
Miranda will explain the difference between trying to be graceful from within your ego structure, and remembering that your ego and its effort has actually never been the doer.
Putting this into practice, so you truly learn to become graceful human beings is a long-term project that takes ongoing commitment.
You will be supported as you create the necessary structures in your life to prioritize staying grounded and present with all that arises, so your actions and responses are less clouded by your personality...
This includes being awake to the places you know you’re vulnerable to reactivity — and how to reset quickly when needed.
Miranda will share simple, informal practices that have woven themselves organically into her regular life — and encourage you to find a daily rhythm that works for you to be a more grounded, graceful human being in your daily life.
In this module, you’ll discover:
In this final integration and extended satsang, Miranda will lead you in the usual chanting (you’ll choose one that nourishes you best, weaving it into your regular routine), meditation (on-the-spot versions of the practice that best serves you, and applying this throughout the day)...
... and review of your journey together. Then, you can share your most important reflections, questions, and realizations from your journey.
This session will provide an opportunity to have a rich and meaningful conclusion, and go forward drenched in blessings and rich in inner resources, radiating all the Grace you’ve received deeper into your life.



In addition to Miranda’s transformative 26-module course, you’ll receive this special bonus offering to complement the course and take your understanding and practice to an even deeper level.



Non-Attack — dropping the knife of judgment and relaxing the Inner Commentator, so you can enter silent abiding.

Deepening on your spiritual path asks you to substantially “look within and let go.” To gain deeper access to the jewel of pure being, you must compassionately understand your defenses and open through them. In this teaching, you’ll explore how to stay present with everything that arises — opening, softening, and allowing your experience, without getting overwhelmed.

Humility — melting subtle pride, embracing the power of not knowing, and entering the receptive state that allows you to bow into the Mystery.

Willingness and Patience — TRANSFORMING “my will” into “Thy Will” and the Gentle Effort THAT NEVER GOES TO WASTE.

Sometimes, ordinary language cannot accurately express the deepest dimensions of our being — the love for the sacred mystery that is boundless being and bliss. Yet, we can contact our nonlinear depths through sound, silence, and prayer. This is the way of devotion. It opens up courage, compassion, and joy, and supports true fulfillment.. Sanskrit mantras are ancient syllables that exert precise positive effects on the body, heart, and mind.
Lean into the mantras as you lean your head into the pillow at night. Dissolve into the mantra and it draws you back into the origin of your being. As you chant, feel into your own prayers — your truest yearnings for yourself and for the world. Intoning these ancient sounds, you join with all beings throughout time who have ever prayed these prayers. Now your prayers are part of a continuing stream of the awakening heart. May they become part of your daily life — supporting you to reside AS the heart of Being.
In this special bonus, you’ll receive recordings of:
A powerful version of the Hindu mantra for surrender, the god Shiva is part of the trinity consisting of Brahma (creation), Vishnu (sustenance), and Shiva (destruction)
Dedication to the benefit of all beings, which you are invited to speak each time you practice
The Gayatri is considered to be the “mother of all mantras” and the most powerful for optimizing the awakened condition
Tara's primary activity is to liberate beings from FEAR and the root causes of fear

Many of us struggle to truly live a spiritual life. What if it’s not about trying harder, though? The Way of Grace is a guide to spiritual surrender and nondual realization based on the practice of ego relaxation ― a holistic, feminine approach to welcoming all of your experience and responding with compassion and wisdom in a world in need of your unique gifts. As you’ll discover, grace will always deepen, season, and bring out the very best in you. Although not required, reading Miranda’s entire book will enhance your experience in this course.

Authentic surrender happens when you relax out of the tension, stress and conflict of your familiar ego identity and its activity — which is always trying to DO something to change, fix, or rearrange your Self. Ego relaxation invites you to just BE HERE, where you are, learning to relax out of your ego doing. Without trying or forcing, you can melt back into a more fluid, easeful state of being.

Ego activity keeps you separate from the natural peace, clarity, and joy of your inherent true nature. Like progressive muscle relaxation, ego relaxation invites you into loving awareness of your fear and contraction — and supports a natural letting go. While the goal is to practice ego relaxation in every moment, you can move into a simple practice for long periods of silence, or for just five minutes as a reset.

Harnessing devotion and visualization, the Shower of Grace meditation invites you to receive the refuge of non-conceptual blessings, whether you understand this to emerge from enlightened beings, celestial forces (bodhisattvas or angels), or light itself.

Your unconscious ego activity is often busy trying to fix or change your current state in one way or another — often without even realizing it. This keeps a sense of disconnection firmly in place as you live on the surface of your personality only. This meditation allows the surface agitation in body and mind to settle into stillness. Practiced over time, you’ll cultivate a felt sense of inner support and a quiet mind.

Russ Hudson, revered Enneagram teacher, co-author of The Wisdom of the Enneagram, and fellow Shift faculty, joins Miranda for a robust dialogue on what it truly means to walk the mystical path amidst the dizzying level of change and uncertainty of contemporary culture. You’ll learn to determine whether your practice is truly supporting your awakening process.
