Home for the Holidays

An Online Retreat
with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

November 18-20

Why do our spiritual aspirations and application often go out the window when we go home for the holidays? Most spiritual adherents find it difficult to consistently apply their spiritual awareness and acumen when interacting with family. This experience is particularly likely during holiday visits. In this retreat, we will review fundamental spiritual truths, which will help to orient us toward a healing perspective on our holiday interactions, examine the obstacles to consistent practice and application during holiday visits with family, and learn practical strategies for remaining true to our spiritual desire. Join Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert for this three-day online retreat.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided around 1pm ET (11am MT).

Pray Without Ceasing: Dec 2-6 with Anne Blanchard

Pray Without Ceasing

An Online Retreat

December 2-6

with Anne Blanchard

 

Ramana Maharshi observed there were two primary paths to Self-Realization; the first being the path of wisdom or self-inquiry and the second being the path of devotion.  In this retreat, we will take a deep dive into the second path, which has been called the way of the heart.   Participants will contemplate what it means to pray, to whom or to what do we pray, and most importantly, how to cultivate and sustain a deep and enduring regular practice of prayer. Join facilitator Anne Blanchard as she guides participants through an examination of what is required in the devotional pathway and how one’s way of being can become love: a love of Truth and God and a willingness to let go and surrender anything blocking the experience of this love.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided beginning about 1pm ET (11am MT).

Resolving for Truth: Jan 10-12 with Anne Blanchard

Resolving for Truth

An Online Retreat

Jan 10-12, 2025

with Anne Blanchard

 

 

What does “resolving for truth” mean? To resolve is to “decide firmly on a course of action.” In this retreat, you will learn to determine a course of action that is perfect for you now as you take your next step toward spiritual awakening. We will begin with your highest spiritual purpose—the spiritual aspiration, determine the best next steps towards achieving that purpose, and then break those steps down into achievable spiritual objectives. The process that we will use is practical, intuitive and guided by inner spiritual intuition. After following the achievable plan that you will develop at this retreat, you will be able to see advancement in your own personal spiritual progress. This retreat will be facilitated by Anne Blanchard.

Whether this is the first time you’re taking this retreat or the 3rd time, you will find that spending time in the foundational teachings helps to bring to life in direct experience what you may not have been ready for before.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided beginning around 1pm ET (11am MT).

The Sangha is the New Guru: Jan 27-30 with Regina Dawn Akers

The Sangha is the New Guru

Online Retreat
with Regina Dawn Akers 

Monday-Thursday~ Jan 27-30

 

It has been said that more than 50% of the members of an effective sangha are likely to awaken. The Sanskrit word, “sangha,” literally means community. Specifically, it refers to a community that is dedicated to spiritual awakening. The primary qualities of sangha are: Members genuinely live the spiritual teachings they study; they speak and teach from their own authentic experience; they support one another on the spiritual path. Awakening Together was designed by inner guidance to be a sangha rather than a guru-centered collective. At this retreat, you will learn how the sangha is its own teacher, and you will hone the skills that are important for each member of a highly effective sangha. Come, and learn how to genuinely support awakening, both for you and for your friends.

Retreat Schedule
The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided beginning around 1pm ET (11am MT).

Dyad Retreat: Feb 15-17 with Anne Blanchard and Kate Brennan

Dyad Retreat

An Online Retreat with Anne Blanchard
& Kate Brennan

Sat – Mon ~ February 15-17

 

This retreat is for everyone interested in an extremely deep experience of self-inquiry, regardless of whether you are new to self-inquiry or you’ve been practicing self-inquiry for years.

Psychologists have discovered that dyads (two people sharing in a structured way) are a powerful way of going deeper within one’s self in order to see that which is beyond one’s daily conscious awareness. At this retreat, we will utilize this same practice for the purpose of awakening.

This is a highly structured retreat. Expect to give 100% to the retreat. Participants will not be permitted to come and go during this retreat.

Retreat Schedule
The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 6pm ET (4pm MT) each day. A 1-hour lunch period will be provided.

Keys to the Kingdom, Freedom from the Ego: March 8-9, 15-16 and 22-23

Keys to the Kingdom: Freedom From the Ego
An Online Retreat

Three Weekends:
March 8-9, 15-16 and 22-23
10am-5pm ET

with Anne Blanchard & Kate Brennan

To the degree that you are unaware of ego, you are a slave to ego. It speaks in your mind as you, and you think it is you, so you talk, feel and act based on its deception. The way to become free of ego is, first and foremost, to become aware of its cunning messages.

In this retreat, you will learn to see how the ego tricks you into living from its guidance instead of from spiritual intuition. When you leave this retreat, you will see the ego more clearly than you did before. That will provide you with the opportunity to disregard ego, which is how you free yourself from it.

Whether this is the first time you’re taking this retreat or the 3rd time, you will find that spending time in the foundational teachings helps to bring to life in direct experience what you may not have been ready for before.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided beginning about 1pm ET (11am MT).

Releasing the ‘I Am Bad’ Belief: June 27-July 1 with Anne Blanchard and Cyndi Krupp

Releasing the ‘I Am Bad’ Belief
An Online Retreat

Fri-Tues ~ June 27-July 1

with Anne Blanchard
and Cyndi Krupp

 

What is the ‘I Am Bad’ Belief?

A Course in Miracles calls it “guilt.” The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI) calls it “unworthiness.” Regina Dawn Akers simply calls it the “I am bad” belief.

No matter what you call it, it is an untrue belief, most likely adopted in early childhood, which drives actions and reactions in nearly all humans. People make life decisions that they wouldn’t otherwise make because of this belief’s influence. This belief is the primary cause of stress, annoyance, anger, jealousy and other types of mental and emotional suffering. If you release this one belief, your life will be happier, and you will feel much freer than you do with the belief.

The ‘I am Bad’ belief is unconscious for some and somewhat conscious for others, but until it is brought fully into consciousness, the belief cannot be eradicated.

This retreat will focus solely on how to release the ‘I am bad’ belief. If you come, you will learn what you need to learn to be set free!

This retreat was designed by Regina Dawn Akers, who has transcended the ‘I am Bad’ belief. She developed the retreat to show the way, so we can release the belief too. Join in a collaborative effort to root out and transcend this pesky, persistent belief.

Whether this is the first time you’re taking this retreat or the 3rd time you will find that spending time in the foundational teachings helps to bring to life in direct experience what you may not have been ready for before.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided beginning about 1pm ET (11am MT).

The Four Principles of God: Aug 11-15 with Regina Dawn Akers


The Four Principles of God:
From Illusion to Source

Monday–Friday~ Aug 11-15

With Regina Dawn Akers at the Awakening Together Retreat House in La Veta, CO

 

At this retreat, you will receive a spiritual map called the Four Principles of God, which will help give direction to your spiritual path by distinguishing between illusion and truth and highlighting important stages of awakening. The map will also help you streamline spiritual practices to the most effective by focusing your attention on truth. Regina Dawn Akers has taught the Four Principles of God in many forums since realizing this truth in the spring of 2012, so it’s very possible you’ve heard this teaching before. You may have attended this retreat before. However, as Regina continues her own spiritual journey and moves closer to full realization of the First Principle, her way of seeing and understanding this truth continues to evolve. That means when Regina teaches the Four Principles of God in August 2025, she will teach it like she never has before. Join us for what promises to be Regina’s clearest and most profound teaching of the Four Principles of God.

Retreat Schedule
The retreat will begin on Monday at 9am and end by 3pm on Friday.

Letting Go of Fear: Oct 26-30 with Anne Blanchard

Letting Go of Fear

Sun-Thurs ~ Oct 26-30 

An Online Retreat
with Anne Blanchard

 

Fear can be experienced in many ways. It may feel like uneasiness or angst, which blocks your ability to relax fully; it may be experienced as nervousness, apprehension or excessive worry; it may be experienced as absolute terror. Fear can also be repressed and experienced as other emotions, such as frustration or anger. In any case, fear distorts your perception and your ability to think clearly with the right mind.

At this retreat, you will come to understand the cause of fear and learn how you can become free of it.

Whether this is the first time you’re taking this retreat or the 3rd time you will find that spending time in the foundational teachings helps to bring to life in direct experience what you may not have been ready for before.
