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. Regina Dawn Akers
Title: “When the Mind Goes Crazy”
Description: It’s wonderful to talk about oneness, joy, love, and bliss. However, the spiritual path isn’t all oneness, joy, love, and bliss. As we journey towards awakening, we also face a lot of darkness. In this Weekly Gathering, Rev Regina will talk about how dark it can get, how we can recognize darkness as nothing more than the mind trying to regain command and control, and how to pass through the darkness to the light.
Reading: Tina Brown will read excerpts from Chapter 4 of The Experience of No-Self by Bernadette Roberts.
*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 Joy Bedford.
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 Freedom Practice Sangha with Joseph Schmitz
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.

During this program, we will listen to a portion of each previously recorded “Clarifying the Teachings” program.

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.
