This Sunday in the Sanctuary ~ April 20, 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. Anne Blanchard

Topic: Projection Makes Perception

Description: Dr Hawkins writes, “[t]he rationalizing mind prefers to keep the true causes of emotion out of awareness and utilizes the mechanism of projection to do this.” Join Rev Anne Blanchard as she shares how she is learning to observe this mechanism, is more consistently not falling for it, and is  able instead to discover the true causes of emotion.

Reading: Andrea Putnam will read Dr David Hawkins’ book, Letting Go, excerpt entitled, “Life Events And Emotions”.

*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. George Maddox.

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 “Reflections” from the Freedom from the Judge Retreat 

Freedom from the Judge online retreat was facilitated by Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert. During this program participants will reflect on the retreat with each other and also with friends joining to hear more about the retreat.

The participants will have the opportunity to share how this retreat helped them learn to recognize the voice of the judge and how they came to see that it is not their voice. They will also reflect on how they have engaged with the judge and the practices that help to disengage from it.

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 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

Join us at 7:30 pm ET/ 5:30 pm MT for a Pre-Recorded Satsang with Unmani *Live Satsang at 2:30 pm ET/12:30 pm MT

Our Satsang guest, Unmani will be interviewed by Anja Janssen. This is a special pre-recorded event.

Here is some information about Unmani:
Meeting with Unmani is meeting with yourself in the most real and alive way. Unmani is originally from the UK, but has lived in many countries around the world. Since she was a child, Unmani didn’t identify with being a separate individual, but assumed there was something wrong with her, until she came across the expression of Satsang and nonduality. Truth has always been her passion. Unmani had teachers including Osho, Dolano, Nathan Gill, Tony Parsons, Gangaji and several other amazing people who are not considered ‘teachers’.

In 2013 she met her husband, the wonderful musician, and courageous lover of life, Robert Hanuman. In 2015 their son, Sky, was born. On 3rd January 2018, Robert Hanuman died suddenly from a heart attack while they were in India. Robert Hanuman’s presence deeply influenced Unmani’s teaching, and in the time they were together it evolved into a more human expression of the courage to live the paradox of the Absolute, living as this human. Robert put Unmani’s words to his beautiful classical guitar music and Unmani still plays his songs at her meetings.

Unmani has been holding meetings and retreats all over the world for since 2003, and in this time people have been deeply touched by her work: She meets each person exactly where they are at, and in whatever they need at the time, while at the same time holding them in the truth of who they really are beyond it all. This combination, and paradox, of the personal and impersonal, brings so much depth, openness and healing to people’s lives. They wake up to who they really are, and discover how this is lived and integrated into their daily lives.

For those who are eager to join the live Satsang, Anja Janssen will be interviewing Unmani:
