This Sunday in the Sanctuary ~ April 06, 2025

All Times are Eastern Standard Time – See links below to join us in the Sanctuary 

Join us at 9:30 am ET/ 7:30 am MT for the debut of “Prayer Circle” with Revs. Jane Sobel & Melody Brauninger

Jane and/or Melody will share a reading about prayer from different non-dual points of view or personal insight. Time will be given for participants to offer their prayer verbally to the group; a time for those wishing to offer their prayer in silence; and then time for everyone to be with all prayers as we sit in a virtual prayer circle.

Join us at 10:15 am ET/ 8:15 am MT
for Our Weekly Gathering with Rev. David Hemphill

Topic: “Nurturing Your Mind – A Homily on Ego Suicide“

Description: It’s confounding how, by some accounts, ego appears to vanish at enlightenment, and yet by way of other accounts, it is only the ego who walks the path and who ever becomes enlightened anyways. Which is it: Does ego vanish and the True Self come to the forefront of life, or does ego wake up to its own true nature and become the vessel of God? Are we on a path of ego suicide?

Reading: Tina Brown will read selected excerpts from Byron Katie’s, A Mind at Home with ItSelf and Unveiling the Mystery (Unpublished) by David Hemphill.

*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 with Rev. Laura Joy Bedford.

Join us at 12:00 pm ET/ 10:00 am MT for “Transcending the Addiction to Mind” with Rev. David Hemphill 

David invites us to explore the belief in separation through the lens of addiction to the mind! On this journey we will explore many topics such as:

1. What does it really mean to have spiritual awakening as part of my path?
2. What is my unique path?
3. Why do parts of my path feel uncomfortable?
4. How do I navigate the uncomfortable parts?
5. Where is the inherent bliss and joy on my path that spiritual awakening says is there? How do I access it now?
6. Why does my bliss come and go? Why do the bad parts always come back?
7. How do I get “unstuck” if I’ve been on this path many years and yet still have the same issues I’ve always had?
8. What is “Self-will” and why do I need to pay attention to it in order to get unstuck?
9. What is the nature of “desire” and “aversion,” and how are they related to stuckness?
10.  Once I understand everything, or if I already understand everything, how do I actually make the realization happen?
11.  What are paradoxes and how should I react when I find one?
12.  What specifically is it that will permanently lead to spiritual awakening? How do I cultivate this?

Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for “Freedom Practice Sangha” with Rev. Anne Blanchard 

This will be a time of sharing our inquiries, insights, and challenges, listening to others, or just knowing that we are in community as we find that undefended place within ourselves that longs to be free.

Join us at 5:00 pm ET/ 3:00 pm MT for “The Mighty Companions Hour – The Voice That likes You” with Rev. Yolanda Mapes

Join Rev. Yolanda as she continues to share her beautiful voice and heart during The Mighty Companions Hour. This is a program she and her late, beloved husband, Rev. Glen Ganaway began in 2020.

Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for “Deepening Into Clarifying the Teachings Together” with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

During this program, we will listen to a portion of each previously recorded “Clarifying the Teachings” program. Afterward, we will spend time contemplating and teaching ourselves what is most alive for us at the moment. We may also spend time practicing what Regina is teaching. And…we will start at the very beginning.

Bring your journals, openness, and curiosity as we explore what is most alive in us and ready to be seen. We hope you feel inspired to join.

Join us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for “Resting in Our Immaculate Nature” with Jill Grace & Rev. Joy Bedford

Jill and Joy invite us to gently rest and welcome our immaculate nature into full awareness. As we rest into our natural state, we relax beyond fear—letting go of the energy, beliefs, and egoic desires that contribute to suffering. Together, as a sangha, we cultivate a deepened recognition of our True nature, allowing the energy tied to false beliefs about ourselves to return to its natural state of Pure Divine Light.

Gathering as a sangha heightens our ability to detect obstacles–blocks to our immaculate nature…dense, lower frequency Light–so that these aspects of our being that we made up are welcomed into awareness, hastening their return to the original state as Pure Divine Light. As a sangha, we will use practical examples from our lives. Notably, resting in our True, immaculate nature supports noticing how the false identity that isn’t really what we are, enjoys, even wants!… to believe limiting beliefs (the false/unreal) until we realize what we actually are, immaculate, unaffected Divine Spirit. Join us as we put obstacles on the altar of Truth and free light that has been blocking our palpable awareness of Divine Love. Pointings from The Way of Mastery, ACIM, NTI and more will be used

The Sanctuary will close at 8:00 pm ET
