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
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.

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.
8:00 pm – Movie Discussion Group – Facilitated by Joy Bedford
Joy Bedford will be facilitating this month’s movie discussion group.
The Adam Project is a 2022 American science fiction action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Jennifer Garner. Ryan plays Adam Reed, a fighter pilot from the future who uses technology from his world to go back in time and meet his younger self. His mission is to save his wife, Laura. Maya Sorian, the leader of the dystopian world wants total dominion over the time machine technology and wants Laura killed because she knows too much.
The younger Adam helps the older Adam and the adventure begins as they attempt to change the future by destroying the time machine. Along the way, both Adams meet with their father and old resentments surface that eventually lead down the path to forgiveness.
This film was chosen because it explores many awakening subjects such as forgiveness, seeing things differently, the magnetic attraction of ego, Divine Love, correcting error, how love finds itself (the Divine Field), the concept of time, the suffering involved with the desire to be right and the desire for control, and much more, all within a fun story.
You can find this movie on Netflix.
Laura (Joy) Bedford created a playsheet for us to use as a guide to contemplating this month’s movie.
*Sanctuary closes at 9 pm ET/7 pm MT.
