Retreat participants will have the opportunity to share how this retreat helped them learn how to let go of conscious control and tap into the flow state. They will also share on how they learned to navigate the mental game of golf with grace and ease.

Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for Enlightened Leadership: Building the Foundation with Revs. Rhoda Makled & David Hemphill
The Tao Te Ching (The Way), written by Lao-Tzu (Old Teacher), is a guide to enlightened leadership. While most people believe effective leadership lies in knowledge and power, the Tao teaches it lies in emptiness, stillness, and presence.
Awakening Together’s President-Minister, Rev. Rhoda Makled, and Rev. David Hemphill share from the Tao as they contemplate its principles in order to fully embody them. In addition to the 2 versions already being read from the Tao, the pair will also read Regina Dawn Aker’s translation of the Tao Te Ching.
Join us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for Deepening Into Clarifying the Teachings Together with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert
During this program, we will listen to a portion of each previously recorded “Clarifying the Teachings” program. Afterward, we will spend time contemplating and teaching ourselves what is most alive for us at the moment. We may also spend time practicing what Regina is teaching. And…we will start at the very beginning.
Bring your journals, openness, and curiosity as we explore what is most alive in us and ready to be seen. We hope you feel inspired to join.
Join us at 8:00 pm ET/ 6:00 pm MT for Movie Watchers Discussion Group with Rev. Kelly Barber
Movies are modern day parables. Watching movies with your inner guide can inform rather than just entertain you. This Spirit Led Movie Watchers Discussion Group facilitates the participants’ ability to identify spiritual themes in everyday movies and to use movies as a way of uncovering unconscious beliefs about ourselves and the world we live in.
Past Lives follows two childhood friends over the course of 24 years, exploring the ebb and flow found in the learning opportunity that is relationship. The themes of romantic love, friendship, vulnerability, self honesty and letting go of the past can be explored. Nominated for a Golden Globe, this movie should prove to be an enjoyable experience
Past Lives can be watched with a subscription on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, YouTube, Fandango at Home, Google Play Movies & Hulu.
