A universal assembly for true discernment
Title: “Barriers to Truth Realization”
Description: Consciousness is all there is. All the Truth teachings point, in one way or another, to this. So what limits our direct experience of Truth? During this gathering, Rev. Cyndi Krupp will discuss some of the barriers and offer potential suggestions for when they are discovered.

Join Laura “Joy” Bedford for a new program Joy Enfolding All in Love starting Wednesday, January 24, 2024, from 8:oo-8:30 pm ET/6:00-6:30 pm MT as she joins in wholeness and worthiness with the Presence of God’s Unconditional Love and our True Divine Self. This program takes place in the Sanctuary on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Wednesdays of the month.
Laura Joy shares what is alive in her awareness during the program and enfolds it in Love if it seems to be different from the astounding and eternal Love of the Divine so that it is dissolved and the Light that had been invested in it is returned to Source. Participants are warmly invited to join and share in Divine Presence and in opening to what Divine Love is revealing.
Rev. Michele Hojnacki guides a group of committed students through year 1 of Gentle Healing who want to make consistent, gentle progress toward genuine peace, joy, and love. This group meets weekly on Mondays at 5-7 pm ET/3-5 pm MT and all members are committed to specific assignments and practices between group meetings.

What does “resolving for truth” mean? To resolve is to “decide firmly on a course of action.” In this retreat, you will learn to determine a course of action that is perfect for you now as you take your next step toward spiritual awakening. We will begin with your highest spiritual purpose—the spiritual aspiration, determine the best next steps towards achieving that purpose, and then break those steps down into achievable spiritual objectives. The process that we will use is practical, intuitive and guided by inner spiritual intuition. After following the achievable plan that you will develop at this retreat, you will be able to see advancement in your own personal spiritual progress. This retreat will be facilitated by Rhoda Makled.
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).
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.
Listen to the Podcast:
Rev. 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.

Contrary to popular belief, yoga is not about the body. The word means “to join.” And while we try to join with the body, it is only in mind we join. To join is to heal, which makes yoga a gentle process of undoing the blockages and barriers to the awareness of Love’s Presence, our natural inheritance. In this fun, uplifting 4 day weekend of movement and conversation in La Veta, CO – where Avita Yoga got its name! – we’ll use the body in gentle, doable shapes to unwind patterns of tension, fear, and regret to get to the roots of our undoing so we can heal, join, and claim our Divinity.
Jeff 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.
