Enter Sanctuary Here.

Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Reflections from the Freedom from the Judge Retreat – facilitated by Anne Blanchard

This Reflections program is here for you to explore how these particular teachings can further awaken the Truth Already Within by recognizing the voice in your head is NOT your voice and coming to see it as “other,” which is key to becoming free of the tyranny of this voice, aka the ego. Come and hear the inspiration that came from attending this wonderful online retreat that was facilitated by Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert.

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 Something Genuine with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert facilitates this program, in which Awakening Together members and friends join together to watch and discuss TED talks that reveal the Truth of ourselves and our universe based on the actual experience of ordinary people. Their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma—and give us a “man on the street” perspective on what we are coming to learn through Awakening Together.

Join us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for Clarifying the Teachings with Regina Dawn Akers

Each week Regina picks a different topic and clarifies the teaching around that topic. She also takes questions regarding that topic. If there is extra time at the end of the session, she takes questions on any spiritual topic in a Satsang-type of format.
