Due to a Cancellation ~ There is a Room Available in the Ladies’ Dorm for the Self-Inquiry Dyad Retreat, April 15-19

March 25, 2019 By Regina Dawn Akers

Previously, we announced that lodging at the Retreat House was full for the upcoming Self-Inquiry Dyad Retreat in La Veta, Colorado. However, due to a cancellation, we now have room for one woman to stay in the Ladies’ Dorm.

The Ladies’ Dorm is a sweet space with three uniquely decorated partitioned rooms. Each room has one extra-long twin bed, a dresser, chair, mirror, reading lamp, clothes rack and humidifier.

If the Self-Inquiry Dyad Retreat interests you, but you hesitated because you want to lodge at the Retreat House, this is your opportunity! The Self-Inquiry Dyad Retreat will be held April 15-19, and it is facilitated by Anne Blanchard and Jacquelyn Eckert with an introduction by Regina Dawn Akers.

2019 Fall Retreat Volunteer Opportunities

March 19, 2019 By Regina Dawn Akers

We are offering Volunteer Scholarships for the 2019 Fall Retreat. We have 2-3* scholarships available:

One scholarship for the Self-Awareness Retreat from October 20-26, 2019.
Two scholarships for the Satsang & Sangha Retreat from October 27-November 1, 2019.

*It’s possible for one person to receive a scholarship for both retreats.

Volunteers will receive a full scholarship, which includes retreat, lodging and meals. However, the scholarship does not include transportation to and from the Retreat House. You will need to arrange your own transportation.

Volunteers will assist our Retreat House Caregiver, Shiryl Kaplan, with light housecleaning and meal preparation. Volunteers may need to miss some portions of the retreat in order to be helpful.

We seek volunteers who are active Awakening Together members and who would not be able to attend the Fall Retreat if a volunteer scholarship wasn’t provided. Eager willingness to assist Shiryl as she creates a loving and supportive retreat environment is also needed. Volunteers must be able to arrive at the Retreat House the day before the retreat they will support begins and must be able to stay through the end of that retreat.

If you are interested in applying for a Volunteer Scholarship, please contact us and let us know more about why you are interested in this opportunity.
