Rev. Cheryl Ford is a long-time student and teacher of A Course in Miracles and is an Ordained Ministerial Counsellor and Certified Course Facilitator of Pathways of Light Spiritual College.
She currently engages in public talks related to Course principles and facilitates distance courses, ministry training and one to one counselling in the UK and Europe. She also co-facilitates a local weekly ACIM book study in the west midlands.
As a native Californian, her spiritual journey began as a child growing up in Los Angeles where she was deeply inspired by all things of a spiritual nature and would often attend church with relatives and neighbors.
As a young adult she began a more serious search for spiritual truths and in particular found that esoteric Christianity and Christian mysticism held a special interest for her. Throughout her twenties and thirties Cheryl began an in-depth study of transpersonal psychology, paganism, metaphysics, theosophy, and especially the teachings of the ascended masters as taught by Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
During an intense spiritual phase in Cheryl's mid-30s and soon after beginning a study of A Course in Miracles in 2001, she joined a spiritual pilgrimage to Fatima, Portugal with an ascended master study group that resulted in a deeply profound spiritual transformation that dramatically changed her life.
In response to an inner Call to be of greater service to Spirit, in 2005 she completed the Pathways of Light Spiritual College Ordained Ministerial Training Curriculum and moved to the UK with her family. Today Cheryl continues in a deeper study of ACIM principles and practice of integrating the ideas of A Course in Miracles into everyday life.
In addition to her spiritual goals, Cheryl holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Human Services with an emphasis on adult and family development; crisis intervention and interpersonal communications. Along this path she has worked with people of all ages and backgrounds helping them to move past personal and professional issues related to various life transitions.
As an experienced teacher, speaker, counsellor and course facilitator, Cheryl emphasizes self-empowerment and creates a warm, supportive, open atmosphere where participants can feel comfortable to explore and share insights.
She is currently working on a book titled, "Back to Sanity: The Journey to Peace" that will be finished in 2012.
