Freedom From the Judge Retreat

July 12-14, 2019

with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert
at the
Awakening Together Retreat House

807 E. Field, La Veta, Colorado

Whether we realize it or not, our lives are structured around pleasing what might be called our internal “judge” (aka, the ego or internal critic). In this retreat, we will learn to identify the judge, which is nothing more than a cluster of ideas, standards and beliefs.

We will look at how this cluster of thought directs our actions, attention and aspirations. You will learn to recognize that the voice of the judge is not your voice and learn how hearing this voice as “other” is helpful in discovering you are not your thoughts.

We will also examine the ways in which we engage the judge even though we are attempting to disengage and, we will practice disengaging from the judge as a prerequisite to abiding in no-self.

If you are lodging at the Retreat House, we recommend arriving in La Veta on or before Thursday, July 11 and departing on or after Monday, July 15. All guests are welcome to stay at the AT Retreat House for up to 28 days. Longer stays are possible with permission.

Retreat Fee: $120.
$50 non-refundable deposit.

It is time for Awakening Together’s annual Trustee election!

This summer  Awakening-Together will elect two new members to the Member Board of Trustees.

What is the Member Board of Trustees?
The Member Board of Trustees is the leadership team that works with the President-Minister and Vice President-Minister to manage Awakening Together. They are responsible for all aspects of leadership including drafting policies and procedures, leading subcommittees, addressing issues and more. The Member Board of Trustees currently meets via Zoom on the first Monday of each month from 7:45-9:15pm ET. You can find out what they discuss and decide at these meetings by perusing the Trustee Meeting Minutes.

Who can be nominated to the Board of Trustees?
To be a Trustee, one must have been an Awakening Together remember for at least 2 years. It is also important that they have a desire to serve Awakening Together as a member of the Board of Trustees.

How do I nominate someone for the Board of Trustees?
You may nominate yourself or someone else to the Member Board of Trustees. If you are nominating someone else, it is a good idea to get his/her permission first. To nominate a yourself or another person, send an email via Contact Us.

All nominations received by June 2 will be put on the nominee list. However the earlier a nomination is received the greater the nominee’s chance of making it to the ballot.

Are all nominees put on the ballot?
No. In order for a nominee to be placed on the ballot, 10% of the membership must support the nomination. If there aren’t enough nominees who receive support from 10% of the membership, the Member Board of Trustees will select nominees for the ballot.

How does a nominee get support from the membership?
Each nominee will be listed on the Nominee pageof our website under To Readon the menubar. Members are encouraged to visit that link regularly between today and June 2. When you see a nominee that you want to support, Contact Us and tell us that you want to support that person’s nomination.

How many people can I nominate or support?
Each member may nominate or support up to two nominees since there are two seats available to be filled on the Member Board of Trustees. (For example, if you nominate one person you can support one other. You have a total of two voting credits to use in the nomination/support process.)

How are nominees elected to the Member Board of Trustees?
Each nominee that receives support from 10% of the membership or from the Member Board of Trustees will be placed on the ballot if he/she accepts the nomination. The ballot will be sent to all members via email on June 25. You will have until July 8 to place your vote. The two nominees receiving the most votes during the ballot process will be elected to the Member Board of Trustees.

How can I get to know the nominees before I vote?
Each nominee who accepts the nomination will be asked to provide a photo and biography. These will be posted on our website during the final election process. In addition, there will be a special member meeting to meet the nominees on June 30 at 8pm ET.

Who is currently on the Member Board of Trustees?
You can see the list of current Trustees along with pictures and brief biographies under the About menu on the Awakening Together website. Here is a direct link:
