Our founder and the scribe of The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI), Regina Dawn Akers, developed this free self-study spiritual curriculum for people with very busy lives. If you don’t have a lot of available time, but you are serious about spiritual awakening, this may be the curriculum for you!
And if you’ve been called to this practice, we are excited to announce that a group is forming to contemplate the “500 Days with NTI” curriculum together. Join Revs. Joanne Schneider, Susan Bacon, and Rhoda Makled on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month beginning Tuesday, January 10th @ 7:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. MT. You are invited to begin the curriculum on Sunday, January 8th.
Begin the First 100 Days Now
During the first meeting we will:
- Review the practice and what we will do when we gather.
- Begin sharing from the first 3 days of the “500 Days with NTI” curriculum.
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. Occasionally you’ll read more. You’ll have one spiritual education assignment each weekend, which will typically take about 30 minutes to an hour. Sometimes it may take a little longer. 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.
Altogether, 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 exercises that you can do as you work, socialize, clean house, do yard work, work out, play, etc. It’s a course that goes with you wherever you go!
Regina jokingly calls this curriculum, “super gentle healing.” However, don’t let the nickname fool you. Although 500 Days doesn’t take a lot of time each day, it is incredibly targeted and carefully designed by inspiration to help you achieve clarity and inner peace in this lifetime. You might even wake up to the true Self.
Is It For Me?
500 Days is perfect for most people. It is not recommended for people who are currently in Year 1 or Year 2 of Gentle Healing. It is also not recommended for people who are currently taking Awakening Together’s Minister Preparation Program (MPP). 500 Days could be combined with Year 3 of Gentle Healing if you have time for both.
If you’re ready to start and you feel called to the group format, then please do join us by beginning your own self-study of “500 Days with NTI” on January 8th. Then join us in the sanctuary on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month, beginning January 10th.
