for Our Weekly Gathering with
Rev. Cyndi Krupp
Topic: “The Prayer of Mysticism”
Description: During this Sunday’s Gathering Rev Cyndi Krupp will explore a method of prayer taught by Joel Goldsmith. A prayer without words, it is an offering, an invitation to step away from the world of duality and prepare ourselves for God Consciousness.
Reading: Regis Reeves will read an excerpt of a talk given by Joel Goldsmith in 1963.
*Weekly gathering is held every Sunday morning at 10:15 am ET/8:15 am MT in the Awakening Together Sanctuary. Join us after the Gathering for our Fellowship Time, hosted by Joy Bedford.
Join us at 12:00 pm ET/ 10:00 am MT for Just Being Here Now with Anja Janssen

She will be using everyday experiences and events to practice being present with what is. She will also share a variety of teachings about the now, the illusion of time, and resting in beingness. Some of the teachers and texts she will draw from are Eckhart Tolle, Lao Tzu, Angelo Dilullo, A Course in Miracles & NTI. Join Anja in using our everyday experiences to embrace the present moment and be.
Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Freedom Practice Sangha with Rev. Anne Blanchard

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 Joy Bedford
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.
August Rush is a 2007 American musical drama. 11 year old Evan (played by Freddie Highmore) is a 10-year-old musical prodigy living in an orphanage who runs away to New York City. He begins to unravel the mystery of how he came to be an orphan as he searches for his birth parents. Evan changes his name to August Rush at the encouragement of a character named Wizard (played by Robin Williams) who takes young Evan under his wing to exploit his musical gifts.
The story is brilliantly woven together as a symphony of the awakening journey and the sounds and rhythms Evan hears in daily life. Themes include experiencing a deep, heart calling and opening ourselves up to listening, learning and following Divine guidance, Divine frequency, which is always all around us, within us, singing us home, supporting us to remember what is real; encountering self-doubts (ego’s vicious voice) in the form of other characters, recognizing these “other” characters are merely symbols of our original projection of a world that seems to be unfriendly/the absence of love…and how we begin to say “no” to the ego voice in our mind and believe in our Divine worthiness; noticing the difference between Divine and ego frequencies; and how the Tao, Life, the Holy Spirit in us, and in seeming others, is helping us and working things out.
August Rush can be watched with a subscription on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, YouTube, Fandango at Home, & Google Play Movies. It can also be seen for free with ads on Youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYR3rDqsnQM
