Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Reflections from the Four Principles of God Retreat

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. Specifically, those from the recent online Four Principles of God Retreat with Regina Dawn Akers will be sharing about what was most profound and helpful for them because of having taken the retreat. This program will be facilitated by Anne Blanchard. She also will be acting as admin since this is the time the Sanctuary Director normally takes a break.

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 The Guiding Light with Rev. Regina Dawn Akers

Regina Dawn Akers reads selections from the book Perfect Brilliant Stillness by David Carse. The purpose of this inspired book study is to learn to stop focusing on words and concepts. Look where the pointers point! Be still and realize Perfect Brilliant Stillness just as it is. Join Regina as she dives deep into this enlightened book study which isn’t a book study at all! Here’s a link to the book here: Get the book for free

Join us at 7:30 pm ET/ 5:30 pm MT for Quiet Observation with Manuela Giaroli

Join us at 8:00 pm ET/ 6:00 pm MT for Movie Watchers Discussion Group

As It Is in Heaven is a 2004 Swedish film written and directed by Kay Pollak; it was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film in the 2005 Academy Awards.

The story focuses on a lonely but gifted conductor, his yearning to create music that will open the heart, a church choir, and its idiosyncratic members who live in a small rural town in northern Sweden.

This movie is a beautiful representation of one man’s search for love and meaning in a seemingly simple life. The dream of creating music that opens the heart is realized in real-time as viewers of this movie recognize the symphony and harmony of the lives of the characters who, themselves, learn to live with open hearts.

This movie is available to view free of charge for purposes of the Movie Discussion Group at this link: As It Is In Heaven.

Here is a link to a playsheet designed to facilitate contemplative movie watching: As It Is In Heaven Playsheet.

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert will lead the Movie Group’s discussion of this movie on Sunday, February 28 at 8 pm ET/6 pm MT
