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

December 5, 2023

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.

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.

Home for the Holidays

An Online Retreat
with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

November 14-16

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).

Embodying Truth:
In the World But Not of It

Mon-Fri ~ Dec 1-5

with Anne Blanchard

Peace Pilgrim once said, “It took the living quite a while to catch up with the believing, but of course it can, and now if I believe something, I live it.”

Nisargadatta Maharaj said, “Intellectually, you have understood, but you have to be one with it; you have to identify with what you have understood.”

At this retreat, you will learn to live from the spiritual knowledge that you believe and trust. You will look at what you value, assess if your values are aligned with your spiritual desire, and then learn how to bring your values and spiritual desire together into one strong foundation that you actually live, speak and act from.

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).

Pray Without Ceasing: October 3-7 with Anne Blanchard

December 5, 2023

Pray Without Ceasing

Friday-Tuesday ~ October 3-7

with Anne Blanchard at the Awakening Together Retreat House in La Veta, CO

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 on Monday at 9am and end by 5pm on Friday.

Following the Pray without Ceasing retreat, there will be an opportunity to practice the presence while participating in Dyads. The “Practicing The Presence Dyad Retreat” (Oct 8-11) 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.

Practicing the Presence Dyad Retreat

Wednesday eve-Saturday
October 8-11

with Anne Blanchard and Rhoda Makled at the Awakening Together Retreat House in La Veta, CO

Following the “Pray without Ceasing” retreat (Oct 3-7), there will be an opportunity to practice the presence while participating in Dyads. 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, silent retreat with no time for email, social media, telephone conversations, etc.

You do not have to have participated in Pray without Ceasing in order to attend this retreat.

Retreat Schedule
The retreat will begin on Wednesday at 5pm and end by 5pm on Saturday.

Retreat House Open For Private Retreats

La Veta, Colorado is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, and the upcoming months are the best time to enjoy it. Consider a visit to the Awakening Together Retreat House. The Retreat House is open for personal retreats. Come follow your inner calling and take your next step with God.

By definition, the word retreat means to withdraw from and so first and foremost, the purpose of your personal retreat is to move away from your everyday life with all its stresses and strains so that you can focus on inner stillness. The environment at the Retreat House and the surrounding landscapes provide the space and the support helpful to purification, meditation and other spiritual practice.

At the Retreat House, we are taking special measures to ensure cleanliness and your safety. We are limiting the Retreat House to 50% capacity. Each guest will be given a private room at the shared room rate. That’s $30 per night savings on your own private room! For more information on our Commitment to Cleanliness and Safety, click here.

Here are a few pictures of what you can expect:
