7:30 – 8:30 am – Being Aware of Awareness Meditation – Facilitated by Rev. Anne Blanchard
This program provides an opportunity to be in community with others who desire to find that place of no place, that attention to our natural attentiveness, that innate humanness that can often be overlooked. Anne Blanchard facilitates this program on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. ET by leading participants through gently guided Being Aware of Awareness meditation.
11:30 am – NEW PROGRAM! Willingness – with Sami Ross
Join us for this new, weekly program, “Willingness” with Sami Ross debuting TODAY! During this half hour we will listen together, either in meditation or contemplation, with eyes opened or closed, as a beautiful prayer of willingness is spoken. We will notice without judgement what is present, the “yesses” and the “noes”, with open curiosity. The prayer of Willingness will be shared on the screen during the program. It can also be found under the News posts on the main menu bar on our website
12:00 pm – I Think, Therefore… – Rev. Cyndi Krupp
In this program, Rev. Cyndi explores how we can use the Conditioning Loop (What I think, I see, what I see, I experience, what I experience I think) to shine a light on how the little self works to keep us in the dark. She uses personal stories, contemplations, and wisdom teachings. Join Cyndi in using the world that we see and the thoughts that we think to Awaken Together.
12:30 pm – Canceled Today: Living The Undefended Surrender Experiment – Rev. Rhoda Makled
With humor, love, and open-hearted awareness Rev. Rhoda Makled is exploring her own take on the Surrender Experiment as coined by Michael Singer. Raw, authentic, and faithfully she is uncovering the path to living in the undefended Heart.
Rev. Rhoda will dig into topics she is exploring in her life such as what it means to live the experiment of being surrendered. Feeling every feeling and seeing every thought she can, Rhoda will share the journey of studying, journaling, contemplating, being inspired by, and surrendering to Truth. Inspired by so many teachers including those here at Awakening Together, Rhoda will share her contemplations and invites you to come and discuss your experience with your own surrender experiment. This undefended dialogue with Inner Wisdom is just one more way to observe as the self is undone–the intention being to leave space only for awareness of Awareness and release everything that covers Truth.
In this program, Rev. Rhoda will explore the teachings of Michael Singer, Regina Dawn Akers, Paul Hedderman, Roger Castillo, Helen Hamilton, and many more.
1:00 pm – Unfiltered – Rev. Anne Blanchard
Rev. Anne Blanchard shares her experience of purification and awakening, unfiltered and as it happens. Raw, reflective, brave, and infused with clarity, Anne’s open honesty inspires us all to dive deep into the spiritual journey instead of simply skimming the surface.
2:00 pm – Canceled today: Get Curious with Tina – Tina Brown
In this weekly program Tina invites all to “Walk with me and ask the unquestionable questions. Inquire about the different principles of God. Go to Source with me and look to the Holy Spirit for Answers. Asking for discernment, clarity, and the willingness to be wrong. I need you to help me awaken! I’m willing, are you?”
2:30 pm – Canceled today: Returning Home – Helena Monteiro
Helena will be on Holiday today and July 31. She will be back August 7th.
3:00 pm – Group Led Contemplation ~ Sangha
Please join us as we continue to contemplate Out of the Stillness & The Seven Steps to Awakening. Each week, we will share from Regina Dawn Akers’ published journal, Out of the Stillness. It was written as a personal journal over 8½ years as she contemplated quotes from spiritual masters and practiced the insight she realized through contemplation. The quotes Regina contemplated were collected by Michael Langford and published in The Seven Steps to Awakening. Both books are used in this program.
Joseph Schmitz will facilitate this week. A new facilitator will also be assigned each week. The facilitator will be the one to facilitate the program during the following week. The facilitator will lead by reading the quotes, calling on participants who wish to share their contemplations. They may also share their contemplations if so moved. To be a facilitator you will need both books. Please email Jo-Ann if you feel to volunteer as a facilitator at j_crane_rodrigues@yahoo.com.
All questions asked, will be posed to the group and inner wisdom will be brought forth from the sangha in response. We invite anyone who feels called to join us as we step into the vision of a highly effective sangha.
4:00 – 5:30 pm – Awakening Together Sanctuary Closed
5:30 pm – In The Flow – Rev. Andy Walker
In this program, Andy will be engaging in a simple exploration and discovery about connecting with guidance, insights, wisdom, and motivation that arise naturally out of the flow of life, rather than from the thinking mind.
6:00 pm – A Lot to Say About Nothing – Rev. Billy Sintiris
In this weekly program, Rev. Billy will expand on Awakening Together’s Core Value Number One by utilizing inspirational writings by various authors, including awakened masters, poets, and personal guests. Words alone, being subject to duality, cannot transform in and by themselves. But when paired with seeing and looking within, we can go beyond their limits. “A Lot to Say About Nothing” is about surrendering self (personal identity). Words can only point to the Truth of the Whole Mind. He will look deeper into the many words used to take us home to the One.
6:30 pm – Gentle Healing Year 3 – Facilitated by Sharon Hepburn
Sharon Hepburn facilitates the Gentle Healing Year 3 group. She guides committed students who would like to make consistent, gentle progress toward genuine peace, joy, and love. Year 3 is based on The Seven Steps to Awakening.
