Rhoda Makled ~ Living the Undefended Surrender Experiment, “Veins of Curiosity”

November 16, 2022

Listen to the Recording

With humor, love, and open-hearted awareness Rhoda Makled is exploring her own take on the Surrender Experiment as coined by Michael Singer. Raw, authentic, and faithful she is uncovering the path to living in the undefended Heart.

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, Rhoda will explore the teachings of Michael Singer, Regina Dawn Akers, Paul Hedderman, Roger Castillo, Helen Hamilton, and many more.

Have you ever listened to the weekly gatherings from the past and heard something you didn’t hear before? Are you deep into Regina’s teachings and haven’t re-listened to her homilies? While the Sanctuary is closed, we will play our Weekly Gathering Playlist on AT Radio. The Weekly Gathering Playlist contains all the weekly gatherings that have been given since October 2019, which you can enjoy as you feel called on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

The Awakening Together Sanctuary will be closed on Sunday, December 25, 2022 and Sunday, January 1, 2023 so that our staff, members, and friends can be with their loved ones during the holiday season.

We will have our regularly scheduled programs during the week and look forward to being with you then. Our regular Sunday programming will return on Sunday, January 8, 2023. Happy Holidays!

REMINDER: Sharing and Joining in the Sanctuary

November 1, 2022

Reminder: “…we teach/share (in the sanctuary) in order to strengthen our own individual connection to Inner Spiritual Wisdom.”

~ Regina Dawn Akers

A Course in Miracles teaches that we strengthen the Voice of the Holy Spirit (Inner Spiritual Wisdom, Inner Guidance) by sharing it. Awakening Together interprets this to mean that as we share from our current level of spiritual awareness, greater spiritual awareness is realized from within. It is important to note that we do not share in order to create a teacher/student relationship; we share in order to strengthen our own individual connection to Inner Spiritual Wisdom. Everyone who shares for this purpose is invited to speak in our online Sanctuary.

If you find yourself sharing in the sanctuary, remember this sharing is to strengthen your own connection to Inner Spiritual Wisdom. As you share, you teach yourself what you most need to know and you strengthen your connection, trust, and faith in your own Inner Wisdom.

If you find yourself listening in the sanctuary, remember that you are listening for your own Inner Spiritual Wisdom. While you may find yourself hearing what is needed from what is being shared, what is shared is more like a catalyst. The insight comes from within you. The clarity comes from within you.

As we share and listen in the sanctuary, please remember, we allow everyone to be exactly where they are; at their own current level of spiritual awareness. We trust that everyone’s path is perfectly orchestrated for their own healing and their own path of awakening.

We are grateful for everyone who finds themselves in the sanctuary at Awakening Together. Thank you for paying attention to the only thing that each of us needs to pay attention to…our own Inner Teacher.

October 29, 2022

Awakening Together is excited to announce that we have another great guest speaker joining us for Satsang in November. This month we are excited to be joined by Simone Anliker.

Simone shares her many gifts and practices in practical and loving terms. Her background with the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) as well as somatic healing techniques brings a unique blend of understanding trauma and integrating it with the Wisdom of NonDuality.

In 2017 Simone founded the Global Dyad Meditation Project, an online platform which provides Global Dyad Meditation to a worldwide audience. In her in-person and online program “Spiritual NVC”, Simone teaches the wisdom of trauma healing, the core of Nonviolent Communication and the Dyad Meditation as practical tools to realign with Divine Essence.

Simone is a NARM Trauma Master Practitioner, a Havening Techniques® Practitioner, a CNVC Certified Trainer for Nonviolent Communication, a ChakraDance Facilitator and Global Dyad Meditation Teacher. She has a master degree in law (LL.M.) and is the author of “The Power of Dyad Meditation – A New Way of Meditating in Times of Loneliness and Social Stress”. Simone trains internationally as a transformational and meditation coach.

Simone Anliker will be interviewed in the sanctuary on Sunday November 20, 2022 from 7:30 p.m. ET – 9:00 p.m. ET by Rev. Cyndi Krupp. We hope you will join us for what promises to be another great Satsang.
