A universal assembly for true discernment
Satsang Reflections is a monthly dialogue held after the Satsang. The purpose of this installment is to share what was most impactful, hear from others about what they took away, and deepen into the teaching. This month’s Satsang features Jeff Bailey who was interviewed by Rev. Cyndi Krupp.
If you didn’t get a chance yet to listen to the Satsang then this could be an opportunity to catch the highlights and see if this particular Satsang might inspire you in some way.
Awakening Together’s Vice President-Minister, Rev. Rhoda Makled, and Rev. David Hemphill share from the Tao as they contemplate its principles in order to fully embody them.
The Tao Te Ching (The Way), written by Lao-Tzu (Old Teacher), is a guide to enlightened leadership. While most people believe effective leadership lies in knowledge and power, the Tao teaches it lies in emptiness, stillness, and presence.
The pair are using three books including interpretations by Derek Lin, Wayne Wang, and Stephen Mitchell. And now they are excited to add Regina’s translation to their contemplations of the Tao and you are invited to join them each Sunday.
Taught Live in the Sanctuary Weekly on Sundays 6:00 – 7:00 pm ET

Jeff Bailey was interviewed by Rev. Cyndi Krupp.
Jeff was not only a guest for our January 2024 Satsang but he also shares in the sanctuary on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month @ 5:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. MT. His program is called “The Yoga Mind.” He is also leading a retreat at the Awakening Together Retreat House in La Veta, CO called “Healing through Yoga and Prayer.” If you’re a long time yoga practitioner or a newbie Jeff’s gentle integrated approach promises to support you.
Here’s more information about Jeff Bailey.
He has been a student of A Course In Miracles since 1990. One of its principle messages corresponds perfectly with The Yoga Sutras: to identify and resolve the obstacles to peace and lasting freedom. His consistent dedication to our shared, eternal truth has inspired Avita as a unique and healing approach to yoga. Jeff has found that yoga can heal almost anything with a reflective, self-forgiving approach.
Jeff is the founder of Avita Yoga. He has a long and diverse yoga background that began in 1985 in Gunnison, CO. The son of a rural veterinarian, Jeff developed an early appreciation for anatomy and physiology, both of which form a basis for the practical nature of a yoga practice. He can reduce the complexities of the body and mind to simple, understandable terms and works with people of all ages to relieve chronic pain and bring more joy to life.

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.
