*New Program* Join us at 9:30 am ET/ 7:30 am MT for Devotional Attention to Stillness with Rev. Abigail Edwards 

Join us for the brand new program, “Devotional Attention to Stillness” with Rev. Abigail Edwards debuting today! This program will be in the Sanctuary every other week at 9:30 -10 am/7:30-8 am MT.

Experience the restful practice of sitting in the stillness of the heart, connected in Being with Rev. Abigail Edwards. Together, we will release the mental chatter by embracing the Divine as our natural state and reconnect with the Reality of the Self.

This meditative process will draw on the Truth writings of Dr. David R. Hawkins, Inner Ramana, Nisargadatta, NTI and other teachers encountered on this spiritual path. We will come together as a supportive group to meditate, embodying the core values of Awakening Together.

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

Title: “A Contemplation on Discipline”

Description: Most of us have struggled at some point along the path, wanting to follow the mind’s prompts to engage in all sorts of activities, as a distraction from spiritual practice. Sometimes the distraction can even feel like we are “being spiritual.” Melody will talk about her recent contemplation on discipline and the inner wisdom that showed her that discipline is the way we are nurtured. We heal most gently and quickly by being fully present and willing in every moment to listen to the guidance of our inner wisdom. She will share ways she was shown to get help along the way.

*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 12:00 pm ET/ 10:00 am MT for Just Being Here Now with Anja Janssen 

Everything is already here now, so all we have to ‘do’ is be. In this program, Anja will look deeply into the now, the present moment, to explore how truth presents itself. She will be using everyday experiences and events to practice being present with what is. She will also share a variety of teachings about the now, the illusion of time, and resting in beingness. Some of the teachers and texts she will draw from are Eckhart Tolle, Lao Tzu, Angelo Dilullo, A Course in Miracles & NTI. Join Anja in using our everyday experiences to embrace the present moment and be.

Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Reflections from “Pray Without Ceasing” Retreat

Join us to hear from the recent retreat participants who attended the online retreat, “Pray Without Ceasing“.

“Pray Without Ceasing”, was a 5-day online retreat, facilitated by Rev. Anne Blanchard. During this retreat, participants contemplated what it means to pray, to whom or to what do we pray, and most importantly, how to cultivate and sustain a deep and enduring regular practice of prayer.

During this program, the retreat participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences and insights. They will also be discussing any breakthroughs and wisdom gained from the retreat.

All are welcome to join!

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 & 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
