Have you found yourself sincerely walking your spiritual path, and despite your devotion, still can’t fully access the deep peace, joy and fulfillment promised?
You’re not alone.
There’s a subtle but very common problem that’s intrinsic in the way almost all of us engage the spiritual path: to get somewhere besides here and become someone other than me. In other words, we start seeing our current state of consciousness, stage of development or patterns of ego as a problem that needs to be fixed. And then we try harder and harder to fix that problem with diminishing results.
What’s happening is that our sincerely motivated spiritual practice can become co-opted by our ego’s effort to attain certain states, escape suffering, experience the highest attainment, or fix the seeming problem of “me.”
This turns our life into a frustrating search... seeking but never truly finding.
The answer to the struggle that’s so often part of the spiritual path can be found in a deceptively simple word: Grace.
Grace is how we unravel the tangled knot of our ego’s striving.
Grace is more than a fortunate or blessed state of being. It’s an actual path that we can choose to walk — into the heart, mind and arms of the Beloved.
Grace is the palpable presence of the Divine that brings forth the precise qualities you truly need to deepen on the path, thrive in your life, and be of benefit to our world.
Grace is direct experience of Boundless Love. It is...
The CAUSE of your being,
The DEPTH of your heart,
The TRANSFORMATIVE POWER that awakens you.
And it’s a lot more accessible than you may have thought.
Grace comes alive when you surrender. This is not the same thing as collapsing, self-rejection or being passive. Grace dances with your deep trust, honesty, devotion, curiosity, compassion, humility, willingness and patience — all so your ego can let go and stop trying to lead.
As you allow this, you learn to relax, and quit trying to control and direct life.
Laying aside your spiritual concepts of what you are and what God is — and relaxing your habits of fear, judgment and control — you can enter into the receptive state in which you are FOUND by a Grace deeper than your mind.
Ramana Maharshi said it vividly:
You can discover that Grace is way more than a beautiful state that fills your heart; Grace is the ground of your being, now and always. Recognizing this liberates so much of your unnecessary suffering and allows you to turn your attention to extending love to others. It brings specific blessings you need, allowing you to drink from the inner stream that can truly quench your thirst.
But sometimes this is easier said than done!
And that is why we have created The Way of Grace program: to initiate you into a wholly different way of approaching your life, your growth and the spiritual path, one that involves deep surrender to the currents of life and a tender embrace of all the challenges as grist for the mill of awakening.
The Way of Grace program is led by a remarkable female mystic who underwent a life-changing spiritual awakening that shifted the core of her being — and prepared her to lead others in catalyzing deep shifts.
Her name is Miranda Macpherson, and her story offers a uniquely modern tale of awakening that builds upon the lineages of the past, but also blossoms in new directions.
When Miranda underwent a great unraveling of her ego identity during three weeks in Arunachala, India (beginning in the same cave where Hindu sage Ramana Maharshi spent many hours of meditation), her husband at the time heard an inner voice say, “The female mystic has landed.”
They both knew that nothing would ever be the same again. A vast, loving, deep presence began to open within her. It took years to stabilize this opening, begin to live from it, and guide others in making this same shift.
Since then, Miranda has emerged as a truly global spiritual teacher. She speaks with the refreshing candor born of her Australian roots. She draws from her deep study of world religions and practices as an interfaith minister. And she is well-versed in many modern systems of psycho-spiritual growth.
Miranda’s teaching methods marry an exquisite and piercing capacity for clear insight with an overflowing, loving heart that helps you release your aversion to any aspect of yourself.
She guides you in shedding the conditioning that obscures the truth of who YOU really are, and helps you approach the path with tenderness and self-forgiveness.
In The Way of Grace, she will offer you a distinctly feminine perspective on non-dual realization that leads to the discovery of new dimensions of grace — and the possibility for you to embody and live everyday life from the deeper ground of being.
At The Shift Network, we first learned about Miranda from veterans of the spiritual path who have sat with literally every major teacher of the last 30 years, and said, “You HAVE to meet Miranda. She is the real deal.”
And we found ourselves dazzled by the luminosity and loving realization of this teacher. We’ve been blown away by the power of the virtual programs that she has offered to Shift participants.
Miranda brings a wealth of extensive teaching experience — over 20 years — 10 of which she served as spiritual director of a groundbreaking program, training over 600 interfaith ministers and spiritual counselors.
In recent years, she has been guiding groups of advanced aspirants who are ripe for a deep and lasting spiritual awakening.
During this 10-module journey with Miranda, you’ll be able to relax into a larger field of grace — feeling the healing balm of unconditional love AS yourself — and learn why so many of your efforts to improve, grow and evolve leave you unsatisfied.
She will share how you can empty out, again and again, to allow grace to fill you up in a way that creates a lasting sense of fulfillment.
By learning to let go of your habits of control, you can become receptive to grace at a deeper level than your mind.
In the space beyond your strategies, you can discover that strength, clarity, wisdom and love are abundantly present — allowing you to meet life’s personal and collective challenges with spiritual maturity.
In short, she’ll show you how to take grace beyond being a fuzzy concept to a practical, precise, and spiritually fulfilling path of awakening and service.
If you join this virtual initiation in spiritual awakening, you’ll:
If you want to free yourself from the roots of struggle and substantially deepen on your spiritual path while releasing a great deal of efforting and friction, this is the program for you!
In this 10-module transformational training, Miranda will offer you an opportunity to deeply let go of trying to direct life. Total surrender is a way of becoming receptive to grace deeper than your mind so that coming into intimate contact with the depth of what you really are is possible.
Each contemplation and training session will build harmoniously upon the next, so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to surrender to Grace and feel unconditional love as YOU.
We begin our 10-module journey by exploring what IS Grace? How do we open into direct experience of Divine Presence and access the boundless love, joy, peace, power, majesty, intelligence, creativity and pure awareness of our true nature? Why is this crucial not only for our own evolution but the evolution of our world?
We’ll explore how to allow a deeper surrender into Grace, and Miranda will introduce her feminine and integrated approach to nondual awakening that revolves around EGO RELAXATION rather than ego annihilation.
In this module, you will:
Authentic spiritual awakening invites you to open in and through your direct experience until surrender is joyful and total. This means dealing with the fear and control foundational to all ego structures. Fear cannot be rationalized, by-passed or dismissed. This module invites you to compassionately explore what causes you to contract, what holds this in place, and why.
In an atmosphere of loving kindness towards our humanity, Miranda will guide you to inquire INTO your fears — the places inside where it is challenging for you to open, be this historical, ancestral or existentially based. All can melt away when it is met with presence and unconditional acceptance.
Miranda will guide you in:
Our capacity to surrender and allow Grace to lead us beyond our familiar ego patterns into the boundless dimensions of our true nature is dependent on our capacity to trust the loving goodness underlying our life. Without sufficient trust we simply cannot let go of our strategies of control to genuinely realize that there is nothing to fear.
In this module, Miranda will give an advanced teaching on the development of trust, inspired by a passage contained within the teachers manual of A Course in Miracles that was pivotal in supporting a quantum surrender and shift in her own center of gravity.
In this module you will:
Now that we have learned to relax into the Ground of Grace, that is the loving foundation of our being and all that is, we can turn deeper into the Mystery. Humility opens this gate, and is crucial to help us deal with the unconscious ego arrogance that manifests as we try to lead ourselves across the bridge into deeper dimensions. Thinking either “I know” or “I should know the way” gets us into a knot of stress, blocking authentic receptivity and guidance.
In this module, Miranda will share the power of opening through junctures where we feel helpless, learning to stay present and BOW into the Mystery of unknowing, giving up to Grace itself.
In this module, you will:
Entering the state of Grace in all of its dimensions and learning to abide there invites us to both sincerely engage our spiritual practice with deep commitment, devotion and consistency, while recognizing that we are not in charge of the show! Patience helps us accept where we are, and cease the usual manipulation.
Patience is a dimension of love that helps us embrace the paradox of effort and effortlessness. It flushes out the subtle bargaining that can arise on the path, the entitlement of the ego that views Grace as something to be “bought” by spiritual good behavior.
In this module, you will:
Forgiveness is part of the transforming activity of Grace, how the “heavenly” realm comes to Earth to restore our fundamental innocence as human beings. Forgiveness harnesses our relational challenges as a powerful vehicle in which to liberate wounds of the past, and contact the indestructible purity of who we truly are. Yet forgiveness is so often misunderstood as “rising above it,” which contributes to bypassing, spiritual phony-ness, and confusion.
In this module, Miranda guides you on a powerful journey into the intersection of your humanity and divinity. Together, we will compassionately explore the realm of deep hurt, betrayal, anger and hatred, that in many spiritual traditions we are not supposed to have.
In this module, you will:
Herman Hesse said, “You know quite well, deep within you, there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation — and that is called loving. Very well then: love your suffering. It is your resistance that causes the pain.”
This module invites you to turn directly towards the limitations you are still working with, and open your heart to it all in love. Although counter-intuitive, this makes us more transparent. It helps us dis-identify from our personality while becoming more accepting, more truly human. Loving our suffering opens the gate for a grace deeper than “me.”
In this module, you will:
This module invites you to taste for yourself that it is not simply that Grace is within you, but more accurately, that Grace is WHAT is living you, all the days of your life. When we know this, not just conceptually but in our direct experience, there is absolutely nothing to fear by turning more substantially within and deeply letting go. You can only ever fall out of a structure of your mind. You can only ever fall deeper into Grace.
This class shows you HOW to enter deeper dimensions, so that your awakening process can take off without limit. Miranda also introduces her “Entering into Direct Experience” practice which gives you the template to dive in and beyond.
In this module, you will:
Vedic philosophy views our true nature as “Sat-Chit-Ananda” (Being-Consciousness-Bliss). The more we learn to open our hearts to everything, the more we experience Ananda — real joy as our natural state. We discover that the depth of our heart IS Boundless Love; containing oceans of delight, generosity, kindness, empathy and refined qualities that enrich our lives and those around us.
This joy of our being is not dependent on particular circumstances, although it can be triggered by so many things — the scent of a rose, the sweetness of our grandchild, the tender touch of a lover, a spectacular sunset. Ultimately our hearts are truly happy when we awaken to the living Grace within us.
In this module, you will:
(Skip November 25)
The ultimate purpose of every human life is not simply personal gain, but to propagate the majesty of God. The more we sincerely engage the path, honestly giving up to Grace our habits of closure, the more we naturally manifest the deeper truth of who we are. Learning to surrender fear and control, and grow in trust, humility, awareness, acceptance and forgiveness, we start to radiate Grace. Our presence becomes more refined, transparent, responsive rather than reactive, and it gives off a fragrance of real love. A spiritual elegance emerges in the way we live our lives.
In our last module together, we will:
In addition to Miranda’s transformative 10-module on-demand course, you’ll receive these powerful training sessions. These bonus sessions are being offered to complement what you’ll learn in the course — and take your understanding and practice to a even deeper level.
Miranda gives a potent discourse on Grace as the direct experience of Boundless Love, that brings forth into our experience all the essential qualities of our true nature. She shares her map of how Grace comes alive, as four dimensions that include the nondual Ground of Grace, the Blessings of Grace that bring nourishment that we need to thrive, the Transformative Power of Grace and the Invitation to Live Gracefully in the world but not of it. This video is a live recording of the opening talk at a retreat in California in 2015.
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, joy and supports true surrender. 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:
Meeting Miranda has been life changing. The tools she gives to deepen my life on every level was exceptional. She is the epitome of Love in Action. I will definitely take another course, workshop with her in the near future. I am very grateful to have had the experience with Miranda and the whole community.
– Anita Stewart, RN, Bend, OR
Miranda is a very beautiful, gentle but strong teacher whose wisdom and teachings can take you all the way to your own true nature. I felt very loved and very supported all the time in the 14-week course. And it is just so great to have all the teachings downloaded to listen to on a regular basis, to keep deepening my practice. Thank you Miranda and thank you Shift Network!
– Loraine van der Meer, South Africa
Just a big Wow! Miranda speaks to us through a transmission of light that is experienced as utterly accepting and compassionate. She has a clarity of Presence that speaks to our Beingness beyond space and time and at the same time she stands with us in all that that is still to find wholeness. This course has changed and inspired me beyond all words and I am so very grateful.
– Pat Aaen, Scotland
Miranda is a loving guide, blending deep spiritual and psychological principles together exquisitely. I am delighted that REAL opening, softening, and allowing, is happening most often, without my "reminding myself" to do that. A genuine shift of connection and boundless love continues to unfold. So grateful. I have been a long-time meditator, and while I continue to do so, this feels so much less like a doing, it is much more about allowing. I have heard the words before, but this has penetrated from the inside out. Super cool! Deep gratitude and love for Miranda. My soul thanks you.
– Therese Smith, Santa Rosa, CA
Miranda is a true teacher, she guided us along with beautifully worded course and felt compassion. Her approach includes aspects I found nowhere else and led us into our deepest core. I am incredibly thankful I did not resist the impulse to sign on even though I didn’t know who Miranda was. These teachings are a solid foundation for practice that allowed me glimpses of my true nature indeed. For the first time I did experience concept I had been familiar with before, but which were limited to concepts. Miranda answered every question with true inspiration from grace.Her approach is whole and can be trusted.
– Véronique, France
I have done a lot of work and practice in consciousness over the years with significant impact in my life. I highly recommend Miranda’s course. I have seen/felt profound shifts in trust and support as well as other areas. I have felt much more peace, softness and openness in living through some significant health challenges over the past 3 months. I have been kinder and more patient during times when I would have been shorter or irritated. Because of actions/inactions over the past several years, I did not even want to see my brother this Christmas holiday. Miraculously, grace moved through me and forgiveness just happened and I was able to choose to go and simply enjoy what was without ever discussing the events/behaviors with him again. My deepest gratitude and I look forward to more journeys with Miranda, The Shift Network and all of the amazing people on the journey.
– Louise, Michigan, USA
I just finished the Relaxing Into God course given by Miranda Macpherson and The Shift Network. Very professional both, both quick to respond to questions. And the course was one of the best decisions in my lifetime. It gave me a breakthrough I’d worked toward for about 25 years.

This course is a game changer for all of those on the path to deeper awakening. The amount of value that is shared in Miranda’s wisdom far exceeds the price of this course.
– Jennifer Brennan, Platteville, CO
What a freeing, liberating experience this course was and very challenging as well. I feel more at ease and peaceful and have more trust in Life, in God, in our True Self and my spiritual journey. Great tools we got. Miranda’s compassion is heartwarming. I am very grateful!
– Yolande, Holland
This course has definitely had a positive impact in my life and I would love to do it again, right away.

She invites a new way of seeing and living, recognizing the non-dual nature of reality as well as working with people exactly where they are and honoring the sacredness of each moment and each experience.
