Let's walk the path together

The Path to Personal Transformation

My goal is not to give you all the answers, but to help you uncover the answers already within you.

Discover A New Way of Seeing...

I’m Barry Chaffee—a former pastor, spiritual-life coach, dedicated to helping people experience greater peace, clarity, and purpose.

My coaching blends many years of pastoral experience with the transformative teachings of A Course in Miracles. Together we’ll explore practical ways to release fear, quiet the mind, deepen your spiritual awareness, and uncover the peace that has always been within you.
No matter where you are on your journey, you’ll find a welcoming space to grow, heal, and remember your true Self.

A New Way of Seeing...

What Is A Course in Miracles? 

A Course in Miracles is a modern spiritual text that teaches a practical path to inner peace through forgiveness, love, and a shift in perception.
• It is a spiritual teaching—not a system of dogma.
• It helps us recognize the difference between fear and love.
• It teaches that peace is available regardless of our circumstances.
• Its goal is inner transformation rather than changing the external world.
• Millions of people around the world have found it to be a life-changing spiritual practice.

What is Spiritual-Life Coaching?

Spiritual-life coaching helps you align your daily life with your deepest values and highest Self.
Together we explore areas such as:
• Finding greater peace and purpose
• Overcoming fear and self-doubt
• Healing limiting beliefs
• Improving relationships
• Navigating life transitions
• Deepening your spiritual practice
• Living with greater joy, clarity, and authenticity
Rather than giving advice, I help you discover the wisdom that already exists within you.

Is A Course in Miracles A Religion?

No.
While ACIM uses familiar Christian language, it is not affiliated with any church or denomination.
People who study ACIM come from many backgrounds:
• Christian
• Jewish
• Buddhist
• Hindu
• Spiritual but not religious
• Agnostic
• No religious background
The Course invites personal experience rather than religious belief.

Who Wrote A Course in Miracles?

The story behind ACIM is unique.
• Dr. Helen Schucman, a clinical psychologist & professor of medical psychology at Columbia University in New York from 1958 until her retirement in 1976., served as the scribe.• She reported that the material was dictated to her through an inner voice she identified as Jesus. • Dr. William Thetford encouraged and supported the process. • Whether one views the Course as divinely inspired or as profound spiritual psychology, its value ultimately lies in practicing its teachings.

Do I Need to Read ACIM Before Coaching?

Not at all.
Many clients begin coaching with little or no knowledge of ACIM.
During our sessions:
• I explain concepts in everyday language.
• We focus on practical application rather than theory.
• You are never expected to adopt any particular belief system.
• You are welcome wherever you are on your spiritual journey.

So... how will ACIM impact you?

The principles of ACIM provide a practical framework for lasting inner change. 

Instead of merely managing problems, we learn to:

• Release fear and guilt
• See situations from a higher perspective
• Reduce anxiety and inner conflict
• Improve relationships

After you've completed this course:

• Develop emotional resilience
• Make decisions from peace instead of fear
• Experience greater freedom and purpose
These timeless principles can be applied to everyday life, relationships, career, business, and personal growth.

ACIM STUDY GROUP

Do You Offer an Online Study Group?

I facilitate a weekly online ACIM study group (FREE TO ATTEND) where we:

• Discuss practical applications of the teachings
• Ask questions in a relaxed, welcoming environment
• Support one another’s spiritual growth

Is Coaching Therapy?

No.
Coaching is future-focused and growth-oriented. While it can be deeply healing, it is not psychotherapy or a substitute for mental health treatment.

Why Coaching?

Coaching may be a good fit if you want to:

Make important life decisions with greater clarity
Break free from recurring patterns
Grow spiritually without pressure or judgment
Live from love rather than fear
