One of the important premises of Awakening Together is that we are all called to teach what we are learning. And it is through our teaching that we do learn. So all members are encouraged to teach in the Sanctuary as they are able.
But that’s not always doable for all of us. And not all of us are led to do that type of teaching. Some of us express ourselves more authentically in writing. Luckily, Awakening Together has a platform to do that level of teaching as well. It’s our Forum. This is a place where we can continue our learning from any classes or retreats we have taken, share book or movies that have led us further along the path, or just sharing our day to day experiences in light of the Divine.
So just because the Sanctuary doesn’t work for you, there’s still another way for you to teach what you learn and learn what you teach. Consider registering for the Forum today. If you need any support, just email forumsupport@awakening-together.org.
Inspired by Inner Wisdom Audrey will read from inspired works (sometimes her own journal), as well as incorporate guided, silent or music led meditations. Spontaneous talks about topics that come from her Inner Guidance are certainly a possibility.
When asked why she decided to take on this teaching, Audrey credits her Gentle Healing Year 1 facilitator, Rev. Shawna. After Shawna messaged Audrey this: “I’m so grateful you have stepped up and taking a sharing spot!” Audrey replied: “OMGOODness! It wasn’t ME who stepped forward!” Here’s what she had to say about this process.
“On Sunday when Dawn made the announcement, a small voice told me, “Yes.” Without thinking, I privately messaged Dawn in the chat stating that I was interested. Shortly after, mind moved me back to the illusion and I felt TERRIFIED! Thinking the thought, “What the hell happened?”
Since then, I’ve had beliefs fall away and the guidance is stronger. I’ve experienced miracles the last two days gently showing me that I’m not alone in this. I’m nervous, but excited too! My spiritual aspiration has shifted from, “Be Love always in all ways” to “SEE Love always in ALL ways.”
I’ve since been contemplating this and have quite a list but I think being/seeing/hearing Love is my purpose along with the desire to be truly helpful, wanting to Know Myself in Truth and to be a vessel for Spirit to move through for the highest good. These recent shifts have been a result of studying Regina’s teachings which have really expanded my mind. I am currently practicing the workbook lessons in A Course in Miracles. When I started reading this book in June of 2019, I felt I found something that I had been missing most of my life.

With more questions than answers, Rhoda explores the return to innocence. Raw, authentic and with the faith of a mustard seed she uncovers her path to trusting, trust and experience her heart’s True Desire
In the movie, Contact, Jodi Foster’s character explores the universe in a spaceship that never leaves earth…or so it appears to the watchers. Her character’s experience is very different from what the outside world seems to see. She discovers the truth of who we all are and why letting go of fear, control and knowing, leads to the most phenomenal awakening to faith. This is what’s in store. No need to do anything else, but faithfully explore this path. Know what inner knowing knows. Live without trying to convince anyone else of truth. There’s nothing else that needs to be done here. Let every activity, every sight, every sound, every bodily experience brings you deeper and deeper beyond the obstacles to Peace. Let it show you life through the lens of truth. Just get rid of the restraints and the chair and be with Inner Wisdom.

Anne Blanchard will interview Bhante Wimala for our Awakening Together Guest Satsang on February 16, 2020 at 7:30 pm ET/5:30 pm MT.
Venerable Bhante Y. Wimala has been a Buddhist monk for 47 years, known throughout the world as a compassionate spiritual teacher and tireless humanitarian, with projects and teaching programs all over the world.
Unlike most monks who wander in their homelands or live ascetically in monasteries, Bhante has been called to spend his life traveling around the world to teach and to heal and to bring peace to the people of our planet. He has forged friendships across the globe and has been involved in numerous projects involving restoring entire villages in Sri Lanka ravaged by the tsunami and war, earthquake relief in Haiti and Nepal, and cyclone relief in Bangladesh. He personally oversees countless projects across the globe, especially in Africa and Asia, to restore eyesight, bring medical supplies and wheelchairs where there were none, educate youth, build orphanages and hospitals, bring water to villages high in the mountains of Nepal which were cut off after the earthquake, create job training for women, homes for the homeless and bring hope to prisoners and suffering individuals around the world.

*Weekly gathering is held every Sunday morning at 10:15 am ET/8:15 am MT in the Awakening Together Sanctuary. Join us after the Gathering for our Fellowship Time, hosted by Rev. Jay McCormick.
Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert facilitates this program, in which Awakening Together members and friends join together to watch and discuss TED talks that reveal the Truth of ourselves and our universe based on the actual experience of ordinary people. Their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma—and give us a “man on the street” perspective on what we are coming to learn through Awakening Together.
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.
Craig Holliday shares from the heart on what it is to embody the teachings in human form while allowing the Grace of the Divine to lead and move us in a lived experience of Truth.
