Join us at 1:00 pm ET/ 11:00 am MT for Sacred Inquiry with Rev. Shawna Summers
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 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Reflections from the Nature & Natural Meditation Retreat.
During this program, the retreatants will share how Nisargadatta’s teachings are helping them determine the difference between the ‘I Am’ presence and the ego. They will also be sharing how the meditations in the beautiful natural surroundings of La Veta helped to cultivate that deep inner looking. Anne Blanchard will be the facilitator for this program.
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 Herein Lies the Peace of God – with Revs. Jacquelyn Eckert & Glen Ganaway
Join Revs. Jacquelyn Eckert and Glen Ganaway as they review and discuss The Keys to NTI*. The program will focus on how the principles of The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament inform their personal lives, relationships with others, and relationship with the world at large. This program will be an ongoing weekly exploration of the timeless teachings that came through the scribe, Regina Dawn Akers.
*The Keys to NTI is a sampler of The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament. It includes the books of Luke, Acts, Galatians, and Revelation.
Join us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for Deepening Into Clarifying the Teachings Together – Facilitated by Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert
Recently Regina Dawn Akers announced that the “Clarifying the Teachings” program has come to its natural end. As a result, she will no longer be sharing in the sanctuary on this topic on Sunday evenings.
However, Regina did invite us to re-listen to the teachings to allow for our own Inner Wisdom to guide us.
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 8:00 pm ET/ 6:00 pm MT for Movie Watcher Discussion Group
Rev. Kelly Barber will be facilitating this month’s movie discussion. Here’s the playsheet that she made for guided contemplation of the movie: The Starling Playsheet
The Starling is a 2021 American comedy-drama film directed by Theodore Melfi and written by Matt Harris. A married couple, the Maynards, suffer after the death of their baby daughter from SIDS. The husband, Jack (Chris O’Dowd), is in a residential mental hospital while his wife Lilly (Melissa McCarthy) remains at home, dealing with her own feelings alone.
This is an emotional drama, with spots of beautiful humor, around a story of loss. It demonstrates how when we are faced with a “universal sucker punch”, we are given a profound opportunity to heal a host of long-standing beliefs and assumptions, and lay aside some of the false identities we cling to. It also demonstrates how we use self-will for protection and how surrender leads to healing.
This movie has some spiritual themes that include interdependence, compassion, self-honesty, and humility.
You can find this movie on Netflix.
*Sanctuary closes at 9 pm ET.
