In this program, we watched and discussed a selected TED talk. TED talks follow a unique format. Speakers at TED events have a maximum of 18 minutes to share their messages, which are delivered in highly polished, succinct speeches. TED talks are delivered by people from all walks of life on a multitude of subjects. A great many of these talks are about the insights gained by ordinary people–insights gained through extraordinary experiences or based on their contemplation of the ordinary events of their lives. Either way, their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma, but through experience.
The title of this Ted talk is “How to Open Up to the Next Level of Human Performance”.
What does it take to be your best when it matters most? Author of 7 bestselling books, Pulitzer Prize nominee, and Director of Research at the Flow Genome Project, Steven Kotler studies ultimate human performance, what is actually possible for our species, and where – if anywhere – our limits lie. Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author, an award-winning journalist, and co-founder and director of research for the Flow Genome Project. He is one of the world’s leading experts on ultimate human performance. His work has been translated into over 40 languages and his articles have appeared in over 80 publications, including The New York Times Magazine, Atlantic Monthly, Time, Wired, and Forbes. He is also the co-founder of the Rancho de Chihuahua dog sanctuary.
This group was facilitated by Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert.
Do you find yourself having questions about some of the teachings from Regina Dawn Akers? Have you ever wondered what Regina’s Inner Wisdom meant to Regina?
For many years, Regina has been a spiritual teacher for so many. As such, she has taught on many topics through her own contemplations and spiritual journey. 2022 is Regina’s final year as full time employee with Awakening Together. In this final year, Regina has been inspired to clarify her teachings, as they come to her, on her path.
Each week, Regina picks a topic and points us directly to the intention of the teaching around that topic. In addition, when time permits, Regina takes questions on the topic of the teaching in a Satsang type of format.
These teachings are available on this website as well as on our podcast channel, Clarifying the Teachings with Regina Dawn Akers.
Kate shares her experience, poetry, and life with us as she goes about the business of giving up her ideas about herself and the world on her journey toward purification and awakening. Kate shares with wisdom and humor and allows us a glimpse into the beautiful and sometimes messy blossoming of life examined with an eye on Truth.
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. She continues to share deeply from various non-dual teachings and teachers.

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.

Becoming Nobody is a documentary chronicling the life and work of the famous spiritual teacher and yogi, Ram Dass (1931-2019).
This movie dovetails with all of Awakening Together’s core values and the thrust of Regina Dawn Aker’s teaching that, if there is any particular goal on the spiritual path, it is to become nobody, to see through the illusion that we are separate, individual people and go about giving up day-by-day all habits which arise to reinforce the illusion.
This quote from the movie illustrates the movie’s message: “My wish for people watching this film is to realize that there is a path to love without cause — both for oneself and for everyone we interact with on a daily basis. You don’t have to go to India to find it. It’s all sitting right in the middle of your chest. It is what I call Loving Awareness. We are loving awareness. We are truth. We are capable of putting our small selves aside to serve others.”
Becoming Nobody is available on Amazon, YouTube, and iTunes.
This month’s movie group was facilitated by Anne Blanchard.
