Awakening Together Satsang with Miranda Macphearson
Miranda Macpearson is a teacher and counselor known for her depth of presence and refined capacity as a guide into direct experience of the sacred. Miranda teaches and transmits a powerful synthesis of self-inquiry, depth psychology, devotion and meditation. Inspired by Ramana Maharshi, A Course in Miracles, and extensive study into the world’s wisdom traditions, Miranda has over twenty years teaching experience internationally. In 1996 she founded the ground breaking Interfaith Foundation in London, and during her 10 years as spiritual director she trained and ordained over 600 ministers and spiritual counselors.

I Have a Covenant with the World, by David Hemphill
I have a covenant with the world.
It is that things will always end.
It is a promise that the divine has given to me and that never breaks.
Sorrow will end.
Happiness will end.
Pain will end.
Longing will end.
Life will end.
Death will end.
Thought will end.
Hunger will end.
Purpose will end.
Joy will end.
All things end. That is the covenant. And in that there is freedom.
Freedom to grieve now.
Freedom to smile now.
Freedom to cry now.
Freedom to reminisce now.
Freedom to live now.
Freedom to die now.
Freedom to crave now.
Freedom to search now.
Freedom to love now.
The perennial question regarding the purpose of life has been answered.
Change is the greatest thing.
That is why the best part of love is letting go.
We Started the Retreat Center Fundraising Campaign One Year Ago Today!
Awakening Together is now one year into our campaign to raise funds for a retreat center in Pueblo, Colorado.
In our first year we have raised over $45,000, which is 10% of our fundraising goal.
Exciting Fundraising Opportunities are Coming:
At the recent Awakening Together Retreat in Colorado Springs, members shared fundraising ideas and other thoughts that will help us increase our fundraising momentum. Please stay tuned for opportunities to get involved as we continue to raise funds for a retreat center that will serve us all.
Check out this New Pueblo property:
This 6,000 square foot home has 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, very large rooms for gatherings, double-oven, tankless hot water heater and five acres of land that backs up to the beautiful St. Charles river. It is also surprisingly inexpensive.

Join Regina Dawn Akers for an All New Teaching Hour, The Guiding Light
I will begin a new hour of teaching in the Awakening Together Sanctuary on Wednesday, 11/11/15. I will call it “The Guiding Light”. The teaching will take place every Wednesday at 2pm Eastern Time. I will let clarity guide in what to see and share each week, which is why this is called “The Guiding Light.”
Please join me in the Sanctuary each Wednesday at 2pm ET to see what is revealed through this sharing. Starting this Wednesday! Love, Regina

“Attachment is the food for the mind to continue. Non-attached witnessing is the way to stop it without any effort to stop it. And when you start enjoying those blissful moments, your capacity to retain them for longer periods arises.” ~ Osho
