Join us at 9:30 am ET/ 7:30 am MT for “Devotional Attention to Stillness” with Rev. Abigail Edwards 

Experience the restful practice of sitting in the stillness of the heart, connected in Being with Rev. Abigail Edwards. Together, we will release the mental chatter by embracing the Divine as our natural state and reconnect with the Reality of the Self.

This meditative process will draw on the Truth writings of Dr. David R. Hawkins, Inner Ramana, Nisargadatta, NTI and other teachers encountered on this spiritual path. We will come together as a supportive group to meditate, embodying the core values of Awakening Together.

Join us at 10:15 am ET/ 8:15 am MT
for Our Weekly Gathering with Rev. David Hemphill

Title: “Living Your Spiritual Path”

Description: Ultimately, each of us journeys through life the same way: by starting at the beginning and finishing at the end. Our journeys diverge and become unique because of the paths each of us take. Our unique paths are the only paths we get to take: We are never somebody else, walking somebody else’s path, on somebody else’s life journey.

*Weekly gathering is held every Sunday morning at 10:15 am ET/8:15 am MT in the Awakening Together Sanctuary. Join us after the Gathering for our Fellowship Time, hosted by Rev. Tawonda Chase.

Join us at 12:00 pm ET/ 10:00 am MT for “Just Being Here Now” with Anja Janssen 

Everything is already here now, so all we have to ‘do’ is be. In this program, Anja will look deeply into the now, the present moment, to explore how truth presents itself. She will be using everyday experiences and events to practice being present with what is. She will also share a variety of teachings about the now, the illusion of time, and resting in beingness. Some of the teachers and texts she will draw from are Eckhart Tolle, Lao Tzu, Angelo Dilullo, A Course in Miracles & NTI. Join Anja in using our everyday experiences to embrace the present moment and be.

Join us at 12:30 pm ET/ 10:30 am MT for “Transcending the Addiction to Mind” with Rev. David Hemphill 

David invites us to explore the belief in separation through the lens of addiction to the mind! On this journey we will explore many topics such as:

1. What does it really mean to have spiritual awakening as part of my path?
2. What is my unique path?
3. Why do parts of my path feel uncomfortable?
4. How do I navigate the uncomfortable parts?
5. Where is the inherent bliss and joy on my path that spiritual awakening says is there? How do I access it now?
6. Why does my bliss come and go? Why do the bad parts always come back?
7. How do I get “unstuck” if I’ve been on this path many years and yet still have the same issues I’ve always had?
8. What is “Self-will” and why do I need to pay attention to it in order to get unstuck?
9. What is the nature of “desire” and “aversion,” and how are they related to stuckness?
10.  Once I understand everything, or if I already understand everything, how do I actually make the realization happen?
11.  What are paradoxes and how should I react when I find one?
12.  What specifically is it that will permanently lead to spiritual awakening? How do I cultivate this?

Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Reflections from “Resolving for Truth” Retreat

Join us to hear from the recent retreat participants who attended the online retreat,“Resolving for Truth”.

“Resolving for Truth”, was a 3-day online retreat, facilitated by Rev. Anne Blanchard. During this retreat, participants learned to determine a course of action that is perfect for them now as they take their next step toward spiritual awakening.

During this Reflections program, retreat participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences and insights. They will also be discussing any breakthroughs and wisdom gained from the retreat.

All are welcome to join!

Join us at 5:00 pm ET/ 3:00 pm MT for “The Mighty Companions Hour – The Voice That Likes You” with Rev. Yolanda Mapes

Join Rev. Yolanda as she continues to share her beautiful voice and heart during The Mighty Companions Hour. This is a program she and her late, beloved husband, Rev. Glen Ganaway began in 2020.

Rev. Yolanda Mapes, who is an interfaith minister, shares 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.

You can discover more about the Mighty Companions on this website: www.themightycompanions.com. Also, Rev. Yolanda has a site where you can purchase her beautiful, spiritually uplifting music: www.Yolanda.net/audio If you feel to contribute to her ministry, you can do so here: www.patreon.com/RevYolanda

Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for “Deepening Into Clarifying the Teachings Together” with 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.

Join us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for “Resting in Our Immaculate Nature” with Jill Grace & Joy Bedford

Jill and Joy invite us to gently rest and welcome our immaculate nature into full awareness. As we rest into our natural state, we relax beyond fear—letting go of the energy, beliefs, and egoic desires that contribute to suffering. Together, as a sangha, we cultivate a deepened recognition of our True nature, allowing the energy tied to false beliefs about ourselves to return to its natural state of Pure Divine Light.

Gathering as a sangha heightens our ability to detect obstacles–blocks to our immaculate nature…dense, lower frequency Light–so that these aspects of our being that we made up are welcomed into awareness, hastening their return to the original state as Pure Divine Light. As a sangha, we will use practical examples from our lives. Notably, resting in our True, immaculate nature supports noticing how the false identity that isn’t really what we are, enjoys, even wants!… to believe limiting beliefs (the false/unreal) until we realize what we actually are, immaculate, unaffected Divine Spirit. Join us as we put obstacles on the altar of Truth and free light that has been blocking our palpable awareness of Divine Love. Pointings from The Way of Mastery, ACIM, NTI and more will be used.

Join us at 9:30 am ET/ 7:30 am MT for “Shiny Things” with Claire Bhavani

What is Truth? And how do we find it in a life that is pushed and pulled around by the cravings, aversions, and ignorance of the human mind and senses?

There can be no confusion about where to start, for it is all laid out within the eight limbs of Raja yoga, as described in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Shiny Things provides practical guidance to apply the path of Raja Yoga in daily life, relieving suffering and accessing an inner sparkle, within a supportive group environment. It includes consideration of how we conduct ourselves in the world, how we relate to our spiritual practices, appropriate care of the body and vitality, a gradual quieting of the mind and senses, throwing out what is false, and glimpsing what is True.

We will initially use the book by Bhava Ram: The Eight Limbs of Yoga, Pathway to Liberation, as an introductory guide. If you don’t have the book, you can still join us. Later in the year, we will commence a deeper immersion into a full commentary of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Join us at 10:15 am ET/ 8:15 am MT
for Our Weekly Gathering with Rev. Beverly Toporowski

Topic: “Beyond Duality Is the Thunder of Silence“

Description: Explore the nuances of how we come to live in a separation and how we have come to believe we can be separate from God while simultaneously understanding that this could never be. How can we understand and that there is no journey back to the Self? The illusion of having left begins with the belief in 2 powers. The Kingdom of Heaven is immediately revealed when thought ceases and Silence speaks.

Reading: Mary Dugan will read from The Thunder of Silence by Joel Goldsmith, Chapter 4: “Who Told You?” pp. 41-50.

Description: The New Year is an ideal time to consider letting go of what no longer serves and stepping into a “new” way of being. During this Gathering Rev. Cyndi Krupp will invite us to “Claim Ourselves Anew”, not by creating a new version of ourselves but through our willingness to surrender our false ways of identifying with that which is not true.
