9:30 am – Sunday Morning Meditations – Facilitated by Michael Deforbes *Recording
Michael Deforbes meditations are inspired by non-dual teachings, direct path teachings, and Buddhist philosophy. With each meditation, Michael takes us on a journey through a non-dual perspective.
10:15 am – Weekly Gathering – Rev. Rhoda Makled
Title: “The I-Me-Mine of Attack”
Description: We will explore attack thoughts and contemplate the underlying belief in separation that reinforces attack thoughts. It all feels helpful in theory to ponder whether or not attack is possible but when the belief is alive and feels real (meaning “I feel attacked”) what does fear teach me about the belief in separation and attack? How do we apply trust when fear is alive, energized, and running through the system? Let’s explore with Inner Wisdom and see what we find.
Reading: Excerpts from “Is Attack Possible?” from RDA and Clarifying the Teachings.
11:30 am – Weekly Fellowship Time – Rev. George Maddox
This is the time when Awakening Together fellowships as a community. We share what is on our hearts and minds from the recent homily or anything else that is truly inspiring us.
12:00 pm – Giving Up Kate! – Rev. Kate Brennan
Rev. Kate reads and shares her journal, contemplation, and experience of applying the teachings of Gentle Healing.
12:30 pm – God Through Audz – Audrey Whitehead
Join Audrey Whitehead for her new program God through Audz where she will read from Helen Hamilton’s, Dissolving the Ego. Audrey will share, if prompted, in dedication to discerning for Truth and invites others in attendance to listen deeply, for all answers are within, and succinct, soulful sharing is encouraged.
This will be a weekly ongoing half-hour program in the Sanctuary on Sundays from 12:30-1 pm ET/10:30 am MT.
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.
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 – Herein Lies the Peace of God – Revs. Jacquelyn Eckert & Glen Ganaway *Finale*
Join Revs. Jacquelyn Eckert and Glen Ganaway as they review and discuss The Keys to NTI*. The program will focus on how the principles of The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament inform their personal lives, relationships with others, and relationships with the world at large. This program will be an ongoing weekly exploration of the timeless teachings that came through the scribe, Regina Dawn Akers.
*The Keys to NTI is a sampler of The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament. It includes the books of Luke, Acts, Galatians, and Revelation.
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.
