About the Producer:
Hello! I am Britney Shawley, I call myself the producer, but honestly I am doing what is the next right and obvious next step. And that is to turn the story of A Course in Miracles into a book and documentary. My story with A Course in miracles has led to this important and creative endeavor. I want to tell you a bit about my story and my life with the Course so you understand where this whole things is coming from. I was struggling in life and asking what I am to do here, I had an awakening experience in 2009 and in 2010 I had a profound experience with Jesus on the beach of Maui Hawaii. Prior to this point I was NOT religious, but I was spiritual, and What he told me was that “I was here to help save the world along with Him. and he will give me everything I need to make that happen. His promise was kept when he brought me the Sparkly A Course in Miracles and my life partner Tom Glod within a few weeks of this expereience. I of course trusted even more and did all the lessons, text and manual in my own daily practice, and then in 2013 I was guided to record all 365 lessons on Youtube. Since then I have continued to make inspired videos related to key principles found in the Course through my Miracles of Mind Ministry on Youtube. Because of this, I generated a following of students — equal brothers and sisters — who trust me…. and they have asked me hundreds of times about the Course, its History, its different versions and even its controversy. I knew that if I wanted to answer their questions honestly that I needed to know the whole story. So I went on a search to discover the whole and complete story of A Course in Miracles. Not even realizing that I have been prepared for this since the beginning of my part with the Course, and not even knowing it. I have been guided in every step of this journey and its been a miracle just watching the unfoldment of it all around me and through me.
I am passionate about demonstrating the Joy that comes from living a life that is dedicated to A Course in Miracles and Christ. I am grateful to bring the message of the Course to a greater audience and truly apply the miracle principle together that says “miracles undo the past, in the present and thus release the future”
Lastly, I live in Ontario Canada with my life partner Tom Glod and our daughter Ella Joy whom I love with every ounce of my being. They inspire me and help me every day to be the best human I can be.
