Awakening at Home

An Online Retreat

with Cindy Krupp

May 19-23

Over the centuries, scores of people have flocked to ashrams and monasteries making them their home in order to pursue spiritual awakening. However, the average westerner today doesn’t seem to have that option. We have families, jobs, and other commitments, which keep us living as “householders” in a modern world.

At this retreat, you will learn skills that will help you to awaken right where you are—at home!  Sharpen meditation, contemplation, inquiry, journaling and mind-watching skills in this ‘less talk, more practice’ retreat facilitated by Cyndi Krupp.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided beginning around 1pm ET (11am MT).

Retreat Fee is $300
$50 non-refundable deposit is required

This Sunday in the Sanctuary ~ April 06, 2025

April 3, 2025

All Times are Eastern Standard Time – See links below to join us in the Sanctuary 

 

Join us at 9:30 am ET/ 7:30 am MT for the debut of “Prayer Circle” with Revs. Jane Sobel & Melody Brauninger

Jane and/or Melody will share a reading about prayer from different non-dual points of view or personal insight. Time will be given for participants to offer their prayer verbally to the group; a time for those wishing to offer their prayer in silence; and then time for everyone to be with all prayers as we sit in a virtual prayer circle.


 

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

Topic: “Nurturing Your Mind – A Homily on Ego Suicide“

Description: It’s confounding how, by some accounts, ego appears to vanish at enlightenment, and yet by way of other accounts, it is only the ego who walks the path and who ever becomes enlightened anyways. Which is it: Does ego vanish and the True Self come to the forefront of life, or does ego wake up to its own true nature and become the vessel of God? Are we on a path of ego suicide?

It is a paradox for both to be true. Life, though—just as it has fleas and mosquitoes—has paradoxes, itchy as they may be. The ego is an itchy paradox who seeks both to be free and to be clear. Join me in exploring the kindness we can live with as the fragile sense of self walks the spiritual path.

Reading: Tina Brown will read selected excerpts from Byron Katie’s, A Mind at Home with ItSelf and Unveiling the Mystery (Unpublished) by David Hemphill.

Enter Sanctuary Here

*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 with Rev. Laura Joy Bedford.


 

Join us at 12:00 pm ET/ 10:00 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?

If any of these questions resonate with you or spark your curiosity, David would love to see you there!


 

Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for “Freedom Practice Sangha” with Rev. 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.


 

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 & Rev. 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


 

The Sanctuary will close at 8:00 pm ET

New Program: “Entering the Stream” Begins Tues. April 8 @ 2:00 pm ET

April 2, 2025

🌊 Entering The Stream: Contemplating The Spiritual Technology of Dyad Retreats*
🕒 Tuesdays | 2:00 – 3:00 pm ET
👥 Facilitators: Kate Brennan, Rhoda Makled & Anne Blanchard

The purpose of an Intensive Self-Inquiry Dyad Retreat is “kensho”, a term used in Zen which literally translates to “knowing who you really are.” All participants join in this common goal, explicitly stated as, “the intention to have a direct and conscious experience of the truth of who I am.“

While this intention is stated in terms of experience, what is actually available is a shift in awareness, a transformation of perception such that the way we relate to all experiences shifts.  Said another way, experiences come and go, this shift does not.

The Buddha appears to have guided students in similar investigations as those undertaken in dyad retreats to help them realize what he called, “Entering the Stream.”  In this program, we will contemplate the process by which “Entering the Stream” happens, what it actually entails, how to facilitate its emergence, and what it offers on-goingly.

Whether you are a regular devotee of the dyad process or have no idea what that even means, if “Entering the Stream” resonates with you, you are warmly invited to come explore with Kate Brennan, Rhoda Makled and Anne Blanchard weekly from 2:00 to 3:00  pm ET/ 12-1 pm MT on Tuesdays. 🌀 All are welcome


spirit·u·al tech·nol·o·gy: the application of knowledge relating to or affecting the human spirit for practical purposes.

In the Company of Truth with Helen Hamilton ~ 04-02-25

April 2, 2025

This program is Awakening Together’s In the Company of Truth with Helen Hamilton which airs on the first Wednesday monthly from 3-4 pm ET.  Helen’s core message is that the Realization of the True Self is possible for everyone, no matter what background you may have as long as you want it more than anything else. After all, we are only returning to our natural state, to what we already are. We are only coming to live as that Truth consciously.

Having reached a place of total peace, love, and joy, Helen has dedicated her life to helping others wake up too. The Truth is here and now and accessible to all. Helen will offer her teachings in this monthly Satsang to help you realize and BE the Self you already are.

For more information about Helen and to access her teachings, visit her website: www.HelenHamilton.org.
