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’.

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. 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.
8:00 pm – Movie Watcher Group – Facilitated by Joy Bedford
How to Train Your Dragon (2010) will be our movie for the month of September.
Please note, that this is the original (first) film in the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy. All three films have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature
Follow the adventures of the young Viking named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, son of Stoick the Vast, leader of the Viking island of Berk. Although initially dismissed as a clumsy and underweight misfit, he soon becomes renowned as a courageous expert in dragons, alongside Toothless, a member of the rare Night Fury breed as his flying mount and his closest companion. Upon becoming leaders of their kind, Hiccup and Toothless are forced to make choices that will truly ensure peace between people and dragons.
As you watch with Inner Wisdom, what is helpful for you will naturally pop out. A taste of what can be contemplated include:
Recognizing and following one’s inner calling by listening to the True Inner Voice even when it means letting go of a self-concept and opening to the unknown, true forgiveness, and the development of trust. You are invited to notice if there is a desire to believe that there are good characters and bad characters. Characters and stories within the story indicate many desires, such as the desire to be right, to be in control, to keep things the way they are, or to desire for something to be different than it is. Notice how consciously or unconsciously choosing desires for particular experiences affects the characters.
This movie is available on Amazon Prime, Apple iTunes, YouTube, Vudu, DIRECTV, Microsoft Store, Redbox, Google Play Movies, Amazon Video, and AMC on Demand.
*Sanctuary closes at 9 pm ET/7 pm MT.
