MINISTERS: New Video “How To Write A Retreat for Awakening Together”

In case you missed Regina’s email, she’s added a new video to the minister’s playlist. This video is for Awakening Together Ordained Ministers & Licensed ministers. It is a video about how to write a retreat for Awakening Together.

Regina also created a handout to go with the video. The link to the handout is under the video in YouTube. Here’s a link to the video: https://youtu.be/3kBXnH6geOI This video is about 22 minutes long and teaches you how to create a retreat syllabus, which is important because the President-Minister must approve the syllabus for any new retreat. This video has been added to the Ministers’ Playlist, which you can always access from the Awakening Together website. Remember, you can access the entire unlisted Ministers’ Playlist by:

Rhoda ~ Living the Undefended Surrender Experiment, “Seeing Programmed Desires” 03/27/24

Listen to the Recording

With humor, love, and open-hearted awareness Rev. 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.

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

Seven Steps Journal: Out of the Stillness ~ Discovering the 1st Principle of God (Step Two)

Have you ever wanted to see inside someone else’s mind and heart as they journeyed toward spiritual awakening? Have you ever wondered what obstacles they faced, what inquiries they used, or what insights they experienced? If so, this program is perfect for you. Each week, Regina Dawn Akers shares from her published journal, Out of the Stillness. It was written as a personal journal over 8½ years as she contemplated quotes from spiritual masters and practiced the insight she realized through contemplation. The quotes Regina contemplated were collected by Michael Langford and published in The Seven Steps to Awakening. Both books are used in this program.
