7:30 am – Loving Consciousness Meditation with Rev. Rhoda Makled
This program provides an opportunity to be in community with others who will to love consciousness more than the objects that appear in consciousness. The Loving Consciousness Meditation is a practice that came from Michael Langford and is intended to be practiced in an undisturbed setting. Rhoda Makled facilitates this program on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 – 8:30 am ET by gently leading participants through the Loving Consciousness Meditation. These meditation practices are a core teaching here in the Awakening Together Community. Come join us as we discover what Loving Consciousness means for each of us.

9:00 am – Heart Explorations: Embracing the Whole Show – Facilitated by Anne Blanchard
During our time together, we will explore what it takes to live from an open, undefended heart.  Naturally, any true exploration of living from the heart necessarily entails taking a deep and sustained look at what prevents us from keeping our hearts open.  Grounded in the knowledge that the essence of us, our true nature, is the very lovingness within us all, we will explore how to recognize and release egoic energies by cultivating open-hearted awareness practices which support us in directly experiencing our true Self.  By leaning into willingness, steeped in self-honesty, and with a consistent dash of courage, we endeavor to open to whatever life brings, as it brings it, that is, on life’s terms.  In so doing, we trust that everything – absolutely everything – is here for us to use for healing, for purification, and for learning to live from the heart.  We look forward to supporting each other in our individual explorations of how we truly embrace the entirety of this show we call life.

The Sanctuary will be closed for the rest of the day in observance of Independence Day.
