Their feet in the sand, the sun on their faces, the Teachers of God Foundation began as conversation between Bill Free and Lisa Natoli as they sat near the ocean in Maine in the summer of 2012.

Both Lisa and Bill were already dedicated teachers of A Course in Miracles, both passionate about the message contained in the book, but they found that a lot of people (themselves included) were stuck in ideas and concepts, living more at the intellectual head level and not so much at the heart level.

They talked about how many devoted spiritual students wanted to talk about “real life” problems like sickness, money, relationships, sex, food, and work, but so often there is an idea that those issues are not spiritual; so they tend to be avoided.

Bill and Lisa thought how great it would be to start an organization that was totally uncompromising to the message of A Course in Miracles and at the same time openly talk about (and invite!) conversations about money, food, work, sex, relationships and health.
