Join us at 10:15am ET / 7:15am PST for our Weekly Gathering with Rev. Jay McCormick

Craig Holliday continues his examination of what it means to be both free and human.

In the USA, Daylight Savings Time begins at 2am on Sunday, March 10. If you are in the USA, move your clock forward (from 2am to 3am.)

If you are in Arizona or a country that is not changing clocks this weekend, check the World Clock on Sunday morning to determine the new time conversion from your time zone to Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

See you in the Sanctuary at 9:30am ET on Sunday morning for meditation with Rev. Karen Worth, followed by the Weekly Gathering at 10:15am with Rev. Jay McCormick.

Awakening Together Radio is moving from Pueblo West, Colorado to Tampa, Florida so our Sanctuary Director, Dawn Fernandez, can manage the radio directly. It will be unplugged today, boxed and shipped. The radio will remain down until it arrives in Florida and is set up in Dawn’s office. We aren’t sure how long this will take, but we estimate one week.

This move will benefit everyone who enjoys listening to the radio, because right now Dawn has to manage the radio remotely, which is very difficult and results in more radio down time. Once the radio is physically located at her house, it will be easier for her to manage it.

7-Day Self Awareness Retreat
5-Day Satsang and Sangha Retreat

Self Awareness Retreat
Sunday – Saturday
October 20 – 26, 2019
7 Days for $485
(5-Day Option Available)

Somewhat like a crescendo, this retreat will build in intensity for the first five days. You’ll experience two days of gradually increasing clarity through group meditation, contemplation and discussion, and then you’ll dive deep into Self awareness with three days of self-inquiry dyads.

What are self-inquiry dyads?

A self-inquiry dyad is when two people practice self-inquiry together, and they share everything they experience with one another as they look within. Psychologists have discovered that people go deeper within themselves in dyads than they do when looking at themselves alone, and we agree. Self-inquiry dyads are surprisingly effective! At this retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to practice self-inquiry dyads in several different dyad pairs.

After dyads, we’ll end the Self Awareness retreat with two days of wrap up, relaxation and fun.

Satsang & Sangha Retreat
Monday – Friday
October 27 – November 1, 2019
5 Days for $300

This retreat is planned specifically for you. Between now and the beginning of the retreat, you may submit questions or topics that you’d like addressed at the retreat. Regina Dawn Akers will design an experience-based retreat focused on your submissions, making this retreat participatory instead of lecture-based. In addition, she will plan fun “field trips” to places in and around La Veta, so everyone also has the chance to enjoy one another’s company.

This retreat is called “Satsang and Sangha” because it combines wisdom, clarity and togetherness into one fun and insightful week. Like peanut butter and chocolate, satsang and sangha is the perfect combination for Awakening Together’s annual retreat.

Self-Inquiry Dyad Retreat

April 15-19, 2019

with Anne Blanchard, Jacquelyn Eckert
& Regina Dawn Akers

at the
Awakening Together Retreat House
in La Veta, Colorado

 
 
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 structured, silent retreat led by Anne Blanchard and Jacquelyn Eckert with an introduction by Regina Dawn Akers.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am on Monday, April 15 and end at 3pm on Friday, April 19. We recommend arriving in La Veta on or before Sunday, April 14 and departing on or after Saturday, April 20.

All guests are welcome to stay at the AT Retreat House for up to 28 days. Longer stays are possible with permission.

Retreat Fee: $250.
$50 non-refundable deposit.

Note: There is space available at this retreat, but lodging at the Retreat House is nearly full. We have room for one woman in the ladies’ dorm. If you are a man, couple or friends who want to share accommodations, we recommend a private cabin at Two Fox Cabins. Prices are cost effective, you will be able to prepare your own breakfast & dinner each day, and you will have the quiet that is necessary for an effective experience at this retreat.

Join us for Movie Watcher’s  Group on Sunday, February 24  at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT.   This month’s movie, Joe vs. The Volcano, stars Tom Hanks, as Joe, a squashed bug of a guy under the heel of a hideous corporation, working in a dehumanizing job. Then everything changes in this romantic comedy about courage and a man’s soul … of a man coming back to life on a journey that takes him halfway around the world. At its heart, this movie is a fairy tale filled with travels and travails, obstacles and the overcoming of them, adventure and romance, symbols and archetypes. It’s a deeply searching and existential film that doubles as both a satire and a romantic comedy. It is a deeply moving, almost transcendent film.

Here is a link to the playsheet designed to assist with a Spirit centered movie watching experience: Joe vs. The Volcano PlaySheet

The movie is available on Itunes, Google Play, Vudu and Youtube.  Watch the movie with Spirit, then come and share your insights with the group.
