A universal assembly for true discernment
Participants shared how they are utilizing the gifts and tools recently learned at the Awakening at Home retreat that was facilitated by Rev. Cyndi Krupp. Retreat participants shared deeply on specifically how this retreat is currently increasing their meditation, contemplation, inquiry, inner listening, and mind-watching skills and how these particular practices are coming along on their spiritual path.
Follow, Like and Comment. We are excited to announce that Awakening Together Sanctuary has joined Instagram. We are using Instagram to share our favorite visualized quotes from Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI) with Regina Dawn Akers. You can find a new quote posted on Sundays on both Instagram and Facebook.
These beautifully designed quotes are provided by our own Rev. Marisol Landin with input from the amazing volunteers on the Outreach subcommittee. If you haven’t seen the visualized quotes yet, we’ve shared them throughout this article.
You can use these posts in any number of ways. Here’s some possibilities.
We’d love to hear how you are using these posts to support your practice. Leave us a comment on Instagram or Facebook.
And if you have an NTI quote that you would like to share with the community feel free to connect with us. We will happily add your quotes to our list of favorites from NTI. Please include the quote, book, chapter and verse when you are submitting your favorites.

Have you ever listened to the weekly gatherings from the past and heard something you didn’t hear before? Are you deep into Regina’s teachings and haven’t re-listened to her homilies? While the Sanctuary is closed, we will play our Weekly Gathering Playlist on AT Radio. The Weekly Gathering Playlist contains all the weekly gatherings that have been given since October 2019, which you can enjoy as you feel called on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
We will have our regularly scheduled programs during the week and look forward to being with you then. Our regular Sunday programming will return on Sunday, January 8, 2023. Happy Holidays!
Reminder: “…we teach/share (in the sanctuary) in order to strengthen our own individual connection to Inner Spiritual Wisdom.” ~ Regina Dawn Akers
A Course in Miracles teaches that we strengthen the Voice of the Holy Spirit (Inner Spiritual Wisdom, Inner Guidance) by sharing it. Awakening Together interprets this to mean that as we share from our current level of spiritual awareness, greater spiritual awareness is realized from within. It is important to note that we do not share in order to create a teacher/student relationship; we share in order to strengthen our own individual connection to Inner Spiritual Wisdom. Everyone who shares for this purpose is invited to speak in our online Sanctuary.
If you find yourself sharing in the sanctuary, remember this sharing is to strengthen your own connection to Inner Spiritual Wisdom. As you share, you teach yourself what you most need to know and you strengthen your connection, trust, and faith in your own Inner Wisdom.
If you find yourself listening in the sanctuary, remember that you are listening for your own Inner Spiritual Wisdom. While you may find yourself hearing what is needed from what is being shared, what is shared is more like a catalyst. The insight comes from within you. The clarity comes from within you.
As we share and listen in the sanctuary, please remember, we allow everyone to be exactly where they are; at their own current level of spiritual awareness. We trust that everyone’s path is perfectly orchestrated for their own healing and their own path of awakening.
We are grateful for everyone who finds themselves in the sanctuary at Awakening Together. Thank you for paying attention to the only thing that each of us needs to pay attention to…our own Inner Teacher.
Awakening Together is excited to announce that we have another great guest speaker joining us for Satsang in November. This month we are excited to be joined by Simone Anliker.
Simone shares her many gifts and practices in practical and loving terms. Her background with the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) as well as somatic healing techniques brings a unique blend of understanding trauma and integrating it with the Wisdom of NonDuality.
In 2017 Simone founded the Global Dyad Meditation Project, an online platform which provides Global Dyad Meditation to a worldwide audience. In her in-person and online program “Spiritual NVC”, Simone teaches the wisdom of trauma healing, the core of Nonviolent Communication and the Dyad Meditation as practical tools to realign with Divine Essence.
Simone is a NARM Trauma Master Practitioner, a Havening Techniques® Practitioner, a CNVC Certified Trainer for Nonviolent Communication, a ChakraDance Facilitator and Global Dyad Meditation Teacher. She has a master degree in law (LL.M.) and is the author of “The Power of Dyad Meditation – A New Way of Meditating in Times of Loneliness and Social Stress”. Simone trains internationally as a transformational and meditation coach.
Simone Anliker will be interviewed in the sanctuary on Sunday November 20, 2022 from 7:30 p.m. ET – 9:00 p.m. ET by Rev. Cyndi Krupp. We hope you will join us for what promises to be another great Satsang.

Chelan Harkin, a self-described mystic poet, will be joining us for a live Satsang interview with Anne Blanchard on Sunday, October 16th @ 7:30pm ET/5:30pm MT – 9:00pm ET/7:00pm MT.
Have you ever felt the extraordinary bliss that comes when you hear Truth spoken so eloquently that your heart sings into the silence? Words that touch you so deeply that they feel like a love song to Life? If you have been in the sanctuary over the last two years you have heard many of our members share the heart-opening words of Chelan Harkin’s poetry as a pointer to Truth and a prayer offered to The Beloved. Now she brings this beautiful open heart to a Satsang with Awakening Together.
Chelan is the author of two beautiful books of spiritual poetry. Her first collection is called Susceptible to Light. Her most recent book is Let Us Dance! The Stumble And Whirl With The Beloved.
Chelan describes her poetry collections this way:
“Let Us Dance! The Stumble And Whirl With The Beloved, is here to inspire you to harness your beautiful, dynamic power and look the world directly in the eye. It emboldens the reader to let go of shames and shoulds with The Beloved and entices you to step up to the dance floor of your life and ask The Divine for a whirl.“
“Susceptible to Light… is mystical and ecstatic in nature… (it) is here to remind you of your joy, to assist you in reconsidering ways of relating to your life that better serve and open your heart; to deconstruct anything about God that doesn’t feel close, intimate, authentic, and warm; and to remind your soul to break the surface and take a breath.”
If you would like to learn more about Chelan you can find her on social media on Facebook (Chelan Harkin Poetry).
Recently Regina Dawn Akers announced that the “Clarifying the Teachings” program has come to its natural end. As a result, she will no longer be sharing in the sanctuary on this topic on Sunday evenings.
However, Regina did invite us to re-listen to the teachings to allow for our own Inner Wisdom to guide us. In the spirit of this guidance, we are announcing the beginning of a new program called “Deepening Into Clarifying the Teachings Together” which will begin this Sunday, September 11, 2022. The program will be held on Sunday evenings from 7-8 p.m. ET/ 5-6 p.m. MT and will be facilitated by 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 in 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.
We have been so blessed by the many folks who have volunteered and continue to serve this community through volunteering.
We still have some great volunteer opportunities available and we’d love to match you with something that you feel called to. Please reach out to us here if any of these service opportunities speak to you.
If either of these opportunities seem interesting let us know. If you’re looking for an opportunity to serve, and are feeling called to something other than those listed check out these other service areas.
