Being Aware of Awareness Meditation with Anne Blanchard will be Canceled Today.

3-4 pm – Nisargadatta Maharaj: Contemplating “I am That” – Facilitated by Yvonne Unger
In this program, we contemplate the teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj together. “Between the banks of pain and pleasure the river of life flows. It is only when the mind refuses to flow with life and gets stuck at the banks, that it becomes a problem.” – Nisargadatta Maharaj

While the impetus for this program was born from the power and the clarity of the practice of the Minister Preparation Program curriculum, “The Teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj,” in which his pointings were contemplated, the desire is to share in this practice with all at Awakening Together regardless of any prior familiarity with the teachings of this Indian Master. So whether you have taken the MPP class or are brand new to these teachings, you are warmly invited to join in and see how Nisargadatta speaks to you.

10:15 am – Weekly Gathering – Rev. Beverly Toporowski
Title: “Listening to Only Truth”

Description: What happens when we are willing to listen to only Truth? What are we giving up when we hand over our own understanding, our thoughts, our fears, and our feelings about what we have accepted as truth? Let’s explore the miracle of what it means to listen.

11:30 am –Weekly Fellowship Time – Rev. George Maddox
This is the time when Awakening Together fellowships as a community. We share what is on our hearts and minds from the recent homily or anything else that is truly inspiring us.

Join Audrey Whitehead for her new program God through Audz where she will read from Helen Hamilton’s, Dissolving the Ego.

1:00 pm – Sacred Inquiry – Rev. Shawna Summers
Rev. Shawna demonstrates the art of Sacred Inquiry in real time. Join her as she follows the guidance, questioning each layer that the thinking mind throws at her in an attempt to hide the wisdom that is inherent in us all. She is learning to go deeper into beginners’ mind with humble and honest curiosity. This is an evolving process, as she learns to feel for the vibrational level of each thought, exposing the source. She invites all listening to join her in their own Inquiry to experience the strength of this powerful spiritual practice. The original inspiration for this half-hour came from Adyashanti’s book ‘Sacred Inquiry’.

1:30 pm – Freedom Practice Sangha – Facilitated by Anne Blanchard
This will be a time of sharing our inquiries, insights, and challenges, listening to others, or just knowing that we are in community as we find that undefended place within ourselves that longs to be free.

1:00 – 3:00 pm – Self-Inquiry Dyad Practice – Facilitated by Yvonne Unger & Anne Blanchard (LIVE in the Sanctuary only)

The practice is intensive, direct self-inquiry. The format is partner-assisted contemplation, commonly referred to as dyads, which means two.

The day is Saturday and the time of the practice is 1 to 3 PM ET.  You can join for either the first hour, the second hour, or for both depending on the time available in your schedule.

What do you want?  What do you really want?  What is the aim of your spiritual practice?  What is the purpose?  What is your purpose? We ask because we embark weekly to practice in the sanctuary, and have a direct experience of the truth of what we are.  The very good news is that you cannot, not be the Truth of what you are.  Truth doesn’t go away because we don’t know it, can’t see it, or don’t presently experience it.

If you are interested in exploring your own blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, to the Truth of what you are, you are warmly invited to join us.

No prior experience is necessary.  An introduction and overview will be given at the beginning of each hour.
