David Hoffmeister — A Modern Mystic and Guide to Inner Peace
David Hoffmeister is a spiritual teacher, author, speaker, and mystic best known for his deep work with A Course in Miracles (ACIM) — a spiritual text focused on forgiveness, inner transformation, and recognizing the truth of who we are beyond fear and judgment.
A Path Defined by Awakening
Hoffmeister’s spiritual journey began in the mid-1980s when he encountered A Course in Miracles, a non-dual teaching that looks at life through the lens of love rather than fear. Immersing himself in the Course’s principles, he experienced a profound shift that led him to live continually guided by inner spiritual insight rather than ego-based thinking.
For more than three decades, David has traveled the world sharing these teachings — emphasizing practical forgiveness, inner peace, and living from a place of divine presence. His tranquil manner, clarity of expression, and unwavering devotion to truth have made him a trusted guide for spiritual seekers from diverse backgrounds.
Sharing the Message Beyond Borders
Hoffmeister has spoken in dozens of countries and across much of the United States, offering retreats, talks, and gatherings where participants explore the Course’s teachings in depth. Many of his teachings — including talks, guided meditations, and movie-based spiritual insights — are freely available on YouTube and other online platforms, making his work accessible to millions.
He also founded non-profit ministries and spiritual communities such as the Foundation for the Awakening Mind and Living Miracles Center, places where people can come together to practice forgiveness, deepen their spiritual understanding, and support one another in living with more peace and presence.
A Focus on Inner Freedom
At the heart of Hoffmeister’s message is the idea that true peace isn’t something you acquire externally — it’s a direct experience of oneness and awareness that arises when the mind lets go of fear, judgment, and the stories that separate us from one another. This teaching resonates not only with students of ACIM but also with people across spiritual traditions looking for a life rooted in love and freedom.
Why His Work Matters Today
In a world filled with anxiety, distraction, and division, David Hoffmeister’s work offers a gentle invitation to reconnect with what’s real — a state of peace that isn’t shaken by life’s ups and downs. Whether through contemplative silence, forgiveness practice, or compassionate community, his approach encourages seekers to remember who they truly are.
