1:00 pm – Sacred Inquiry – 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’.
1:30 pm – Freedom Practice Sangha – Facilitated by Anne Blanchard

6:00 pm – Enlightened Leadership: Building the Foundation – Facilitated by Revs. Jacquelyn Eckert & Rhoda Makled
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, Jacquelyn Eckert, and Vice President-Minister, Rhoda Makled share from the Tao as they contemplate its principles in order to fully embody them.
7:00 pm – 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.
7:30 pm – Live Satsang with David Hemphill
Rev. David will be interviewed by Rev. Rhoda Makled.
As community, our mission is to help people become Self-reliant on their own Inner Wisdom. In celebration of Awakening Together’s 10th anniversary, we are delighted to have a Satsang with Rev. David Hemphill who is a living demonstration of the fruits of this mission.
In case you don’t know David, here’s a little bit about him.
He began his spiritual path in 2012 with his mentor Nyki Dobson. Having signed the constitution of Awakening Together shortly after, he worked as a founding trustee board member and graduated from the first class of the Ministerial Preparation Program (MPP) led by Regina Dawn Akers on May 10, 2015.
Since 2015, David has remained in communal service with Awakening-Together by publishing spiritual writings, participating in the benevolence subcommittee, and occasionally teaching some MPP courses. His primary spiritual practice is surrender, meditation, and inquiry. Although able to follow spiritual discussions using spiritual language (e.g., Spirit, Guidance, True Self), most of his experience discussing and applying spiritual teachings has occurred through the context lenses of business, psychology, trauma, and interpersonal relationship. David’s favorite teachings are those of Byron Katie, Michael Langford, and Ramana Maharshi.
*Sanctuary closes at 9 pm ET/7 pm MT.
