for Our Weekly Gathering with
Rev. George Maddox
Title: “Exploring Acceptance”
Description: This Sunday we will focus on exploring acceptance. ACIM, Lesson 135, paragraph 18 states: “What could you not accept if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present and to come, are gently planned by One whose only purpose is your good?”. Join me as I delve into the profound wisdom of acceptance, guided by this lesson.
Reading: Judy Flassing will read ACIM, Lesson 135, “If I defend myself I am attacked”.
*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 Joy Bedford.
Join us at 12:00 pm ET/ 10:00 am MT for Unmasking the Fear with Jill Grace
Join Jill as she shares during this time while Anja is on holiday.
In this program Jill Grace welcomes you to come along on an exploration of some of the most common fears, as she takes a deep dive into the psyche to unmask the fear that has been hidden. As we shine the light of clarity on F.E.A.R (False Evidence Appearing Real), we will see that there are great gifts when we unmask fear and truly look at it with inner guidance by our side. Jill will be sharing personal stories and contemplations from Gentle Healing 2, as well as wisdom teachings from NTI, Inner Ramana, and more..
NOTE: This schedule change is only today, because Freedom Practice Sangha is cancelled. Retreat Reflections will be next Sunday, August 25 at 1:30 and David’s program will be held at 2:30.

Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for Enlightened Leadership: Building the Foundation with Revs. Rhoda Makled & David Hemphill
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 Vice President-Minister, Rev. Rhoda Makled, and Rev. David Hemphill share from the Tao as they contemplate its principles in order to fully embody them. In addition to the 2 versions already being read from the Tao, 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 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.

Here is some information about Jeannie Zandi:
Jeannie is the director of Living as Love, a nonprofit organization dedicated to seeding a culture of the Heart on the planet, inspiring, teaching and supporting people to live from their essence as Love. A year before the birth of her daughter, Jeannie was plunged into a dark night of the soul that culminated in a radical shift of consciousness.
She is known for her fearless clarity, tender mercy toward humanness, and a juicy, poetic and often humorous style that draws from Advaita Vedanta, Sufism, Christian mysticism and the ongoing revelation of fully engaged living.
