10:15 am – Weekly Gathering – Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert
Title: “Trapped in the Bubble of Thought”

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 Rev. 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.
2:30 pm – 4:45 pm Awakening Together Radio Broadcast during the break.
This is the time designated as a break so that our Sanctuary Director may have the time to rest.
5:00 pm – The Mighty Companions – Revs. Glen Ganaway and Yolanda Mapes
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.
6:00 pm – Enlightened Leadership: Building the Foundation – Facilitated by Revs. Jacquelyn Eckert & Rhoda Makled *Recording
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. In addition to the 3 versions already being read from the Tao, now the pair will also read Regina Dawn Aker’s translation of the Tao Te Ching.
7:00 pm – Deepening into Clarifying the Teachings – 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 – Pre-Recorded Satsang with Rev. Manuela Giaroli
Our interviewers for this event are Revs. Anne Blanchard and Rhoda Makled.
Manuela’s quest for meaning initially led her to seek answers externally, until a profound encounter with Regina Dawn Akers triggered a deep transformation within her. Regina’s authentic living and teachings deeply resonated with Manuela. In 2016, Manuela completed the Minister’s Preparation Program, not with the intention of becoming a minister, but to let the course transform both “her” and “her life.”
As a community, our mission is to guide individuals towards self-reliance on their inner wisdom, and Rev. Manuela Giaroli epitomizes the essence of this mission through her personal journey of living in alignment with her inner wisdom. She will share how her path evolved from being an “Awakening Together member with a seeker identity” to experiencing the shedding of various identities.
This illuminating recorded Satsang interview is not to be missed. Make sure to mark your calendars and join us!
*Sanctuary closes at 9 pm ET/7 pm MT.
