500 Days with NTI
500 Days with NTIDaily Contemplation & Practice with
The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament
In the spirit of “Sangha is the New Guru,” many have discovered that sharing daily contemplations with a partner helps keep their spiritual practice and intentions front and center. As it is written in the Bible, Matthew 18:20 (NIV): “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” This timeless wisdom reminds us of the power of coming together in shared purpose.
Whether you have already completed “500 Days with NTI” or are beginning it for the first time, you may find that partnering with someone for contemplation adds a new layer of clarity and depth. As Angelo DiLullo says, “Foundations are foundational.” Exploring this curriculum with a buddy can unlock fresh insights and bring spiritual teachings to life in meaningful ways.
Our founder, Regina Dawn Akers, who is also the scribe of NTI, developed this free self-study spiritual curriculum to support serious spiritual students in their journey—especially those with busy lives. Whether your schedule allows for plenty of study time or just a little, this curriculum is designed to meet you where you are.
There’s no need to register for this self-study program. Simply follow the instructions at the bottom of this page to begin on Sunday, January 5th, 2025 (or any Sunday that works for you). We invite you to start this transformative journey and discover the profound benefits of daily contemplation with or without a buddy.
How Much Time Does It Take?
500 Days with NTI requires only a minimal amount of formal “sit down” practice. You’ll read approximately 1 page of NTI on most days. You’ll have one spiritual education assignment each weekend, which will typically take about 30 minutes to an hour. After a certain point in the curriculum, you’ll be asked to meditate briefly on a daily basis (can you do 15 minutes?), and you’ll be asked to write every now and then.
All together, it will take about 30-40 minutes on most days. It’s designed so you can break that up into 15-20 minutes in the evening and 15-20 minutes in the morning, if that suits your schedule best.
If It Doesn’t Take a Lot of Time, How Does it Work?
500 Days provides daily spiritual exercises, which Regina calls “walk-about exercises.” You can practice them as you work, socialize, clean house, do yard work, work out at the gym, etc. The spiritual practice goes with you where ever you go; it is incredibly targeted and carefully designed by inspiration to help you achieve clarity and realize inner peace.
How To Start the Program?
500 Days with NTI is designed to start on a Sunday. January 5th is a great time to start, since it is the first Sunday of the new year. However, you can start the program on any Sunday of the year. Just go to “Classes” on the awakening-together.org menu bar, then choose “500 Days with NTI.” From there you can start with “the First 100 Days.” (Reference the picture.)
Note: The program will not be posted to the Daily Update. Simply go to awakening-together.org each day and follow the curriculum under the “Classes” and “500 Days with NTI” menu.
