This Sunday in the Sanctuary ~ August 13, 2023

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

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

Title: “I-did-it-y: Accepting Falsity Is Happening”

Description: I don’t know when or how it started, but accepting falsity is often happening and happening unconsciously. Often the question that comes up is “Why does it keep happening?” Join Rhoda for an examination of identification and its multi-layered appearances. Knowing why doesn’t change anything but noticing when accepting the false as true is happening…well, that’s the gift.

Reading: Joy Bedford will read excerpts from Chapter 11, Mind-Identification from Angelo Dilullo’s book Awake: It’s Your Turn.

*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. Tawonda Chase.

Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Freedom Practice Sangha – Facilitated by 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 

Revs. Glen Ganaway and Yolanda Mapes, who are interfaith ministers, share a delightful, funny, and inspiring hour of A Course in Miracles. Come join in on the fun, the laughs, and the music while unlearning the ego through the lessons and chapters of ACIM.

Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for Enlightened Leadership: Building the Foundation – Revs. Jacquelyn Eckert & Rhoda Makled 

The Tao Te Ching (The Way), written by Lao-Tzu (Old Teacher), is a guide to enlightened leadership. While most people believe effective leadership lies in knowledge and power, the Tao teaches it lies in emptiness, stillness, and presence.

Awakening Together’s President-Minister, Jacquelyn Eckert, and Vice President-Minister, Rhoda Makled share from the Tao as they contemplate its principles in order to fully embody them. In addition to the 3 versions already being read from the Tao, now the pair will also read Regina Dawn Aker’s translation of the Tao Te Ching.

Join us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for Deepening Into Clarifying the Teachings Together – Facilitated by 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.
