Join us at 9:30 am ET/ 7:30 am MT for Contemplating Poetry Using Lectio Divina with Rev. Susan Telford

Rev. Susan Telford will be guiding us in learning the contemplative practice of Lectio Divina using poetry.

In each session, Susan will read a poem, drawing from a wide range of poets, including Rumi, Hafiz, David Whyte, Mary Oliver, John O’Donohue, and many others (including her own work), then guide participants through the four steps of Lectio Divina.

Susan shares that this direct practice is a beautiful way to connect with Inner Wisdom and obtain clarity.

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

Topic: “From Claiming to Clarity: Recognizing the Rejection Program”

Description: Ego’s fundamental movement is a big fat “no!” to what is. A primary source of suffering for humans is identifying with the “no”, as the “no”, with thoughts which say things like, “I hate when this happens”, “I can’t stand that/them”, “oh no, not that!”. We can only free ourselves from this often unconscious, highly conditioned reactive “no!”- the rejection program – if we actually see it. For the one who wills to live from unity consciousness, gaining familiarity with this programmed reactive mechanism is imperative. Join Anne Blanchard as she shares her journey from conditioned claiming of the “no!” to the clarity that this is indeed a program, and thus can be let go.

Reading: Sami Ross will read excerpts from Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That, Chapter 3, “The Living Present”.

*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 1:00 pm ET/ 11:00 am MT for Sacred Inquiry

Rev. Shawna demonstrates the art of Sacred Inquiry in real time. Join her as she follows the guidance, questioning each layer that the thinking mind throws at her in an attempt to hide the wisdom that is inherent in us all. She is learning to go deeper into beginners’ mind with humble and honest curiosity. This is an evolving process, as she learns to feel for the vibrational level of each thought, exposing the source. She invites all listening to join her in their own Inquiry to experience the strength of this powerful spiritual practice. The original inspiration for this half-hour came from Adyashanti’s book ‘Sacred Inquiry’.

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. 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 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 – 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.

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

Please join Keith Kavanagh who will be joining us for our February Satsang. Keith will be interviewed by Julie Butler and Anja Janssen. This special pre-recorded event will take place:

📅 Date: Sunday, February 18th, 2024
🕢 Time: Pre-Recorded @ 7:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. MT.
📍 Where: Awakening Together’s Zoom Sanctuary

Here’s more information about Keith Kavanagh:

Keith first heard of A Course In Miracles 30 years ago in a talk by Wayne Dyer where the Course was quoted and he has been reading it ever since. Life took a turn just over a decade ago when a crippling Generalized Anxiety Disorder took hold of his life for 8 years, effectively reducing it to a half-life. It culminated in a rock bottom point of readiness to devote himself to the Course in earnest.

Through his devoted practice, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder disappeared and he started having awakening and Oneness experiences. Keith was asked to share his experience in two podcast talks and from that, there was a large number of requests for more teachings.

This was to birth the “A Course In Miracles with Keith” Facebook group, Zoom Meetings, YouTube Channel, Podcast, and, eventually, private mentoring.

For those who are eager to join for the live Satsang, Julie Butler and Anja Janssen will be interviewing Keith:

📅 Date: Sunday, February 18th, 2024
🕢 Time: Live @ 2:30 p.m. ET / 12:30 p.m. MT.
📍 Where: Awakening Together’s Zoom Sanctuary
