9:00 am – Heart Explorations: Embracing the Whole Show – Facilitated by Anne Blanchard
During our time together, we will explore what it takes to live from an open, undefended heart.  Naturally, any true exploration of living from the heart necessarily entails taking a deep and sustained look at what prevents us from keeping our hearts open.  Grounded in the knowledge that the essence of us, our true nature, is the very lovingness within us all, we will explore how to recognize and release egoic energies by cultivating open-hearted awareness practices which support us in directly experiencing our true Self.  By leaning into willingness, steeped in self-honesty, and with a consistent dash of courage, we endeavor to open to whatever life brings, as it brings it, that is, on life’s terms.  In so doing, we trust that everything – absolutely everything – is here for us to use for healing, for purification, and for learning to live from the heart.  We look forward to supporting each other in our individual explorations of how we truly embrace the entirety of this show we call life.

5:30 pm – Be As You Are Discussion – Lina Luckway
This new weekly program will be facilitated by Lina Luckway. She will be reading and sharing from Be As You Are. 

Be As You Are is a treasury of Ramana Maharshi’s knowledge. The book collects conversations with the many seekers who came to him for guidance, answering the questions sought on the road to enlightenment. Self-realization is the vital quest we must all pursue before we can attempt to understand the world.

Ramana’s method of self-inquiry is to dissolve the belief of separation from the Self, his insistence that there is a direct path to awakening and that enlightenment can be attained by anyone is in strong focus. Ramana puts everything in clear and simple words, and Hindu terms and Sanskrit words are also explained. There is no need to be familiar with Hindu scripture before reading this book.

Let’s get together, read and discuss the essence of Ramana Maharshi’s teaching Be As You Are, and see what insights and delights unfold.

6:30 pm – Early Insights- Facilitated by Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert & Connie Poole
The pair will play Regina Dawn Akers’ Early Teaching videos and invite those in attendance to contemplate those teachings along with them.

Regina’s recently completed YouTube playlist featuring the “meat” of her early teachings is a treasure trove of insight into the practices and understanding that illuminated her path to awakening. Regina compiled the teachings by trimming down her early teaching audios to highlight the core components of the guidance she received early in her journey.

Because these teachings are so helpful, Jacquelyn and Connie plan to slowly review them by playing one or two of them each week and contemplating them in a group format.

11:00 am -12:00 pm – Satsang Reflections
This is an invitation to come together in our shared purpose to know the One True Self. Participants are invited to reflect on how the teachings, tools, and insights gained in this particular retreat are taking shape in their lives.  Since we live this purpose by letting go of the belief in the individual self as who we are, all are invited to share how this retreat is helping them identify the arising of this belief. Of the ways, they have been habitually programmed, of how the ego seeks to speak and move through them. Sharing is also invited on how they are learning to disregard the ego and turn instead to the Inner Wisdom which they recognize as The Voice that opens the door to their natural state of peace and contentedness. Lastly, this is an opportunity to also come and discuss any challenges you may be having with the application of what was learned in the retreat.

All are warmly welcome to come and listen to this discussion and see how the takeaways from the retreat can act as a catalyst to spark insights within you.
