Our beloved Chairman of the Board, Rev. Hal Seeley, passed away on Saturday, November 9, after experiencing a stroke several days earlier. Hal is shown above standing next to the Cucharas River during his first trip to La Veta, Colorado.
In addition to being an AT Minister and our current Chairman of the Board, Hal built the partitions that create three semi-private rooms in the Ladies’ Dorm at the Retreat House.
Awakening Together will hold a memorial service for Hal in the Awakening Together Sanctuary immediately following the Weekly Gathering this coming Sunday, November 17. The memorial service will begin at at 11:30am ET. We hope you will be able to attend.

Regina Dawn Akers reads selections from books by Bernadette Roberts. The purpose of this inspired book study is to learn from one who walked through the final doorway to no self, no world, no God–Only Reality.
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.
At 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.
This retreat is led by Regina Dawn Akers. Regina will emphasize skills that help you transcend ego and recognize inner wisdom as the Voice that makes you happy.
The retreat will begin at 10am on Monday, December 9 and end at 3pm on Friday, December 13. We recommend arriving in La Veta on or before Sunday, December 8 and departing on or after Saturday, December 14.

When the false notion “I am the body” dies, what abides is what’s worth having, the vast, bright, silent void, the Self. Why is it so? Because in truth the only state free from all pain and all desire is pure Self-Being.

Please read quotes 877-880 in The Seven Steps to Awakening with your inner teacher. Here is the last quote:
A woman with a necklace round her neck imagines it is lost, and after long search elsewhere touches her own neck and there finds it; even so, the Self is here within. Probe for it there and find it.
