A universal assembly for true discernment
The retreatants from the Letting Go of Fear retreat shared insights, breakthroughs, and wisdom. You are invited to listen in on the rich inspiration that came from those who attended this powerful in-person retreat that was facilitated by Rev. Anne Blanchard at the retreat house in La Veta, Colorado.
Rev. Shawna Summers facilitated this particular installment.
Awakening at HomeOver 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.
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).
Awakening Together’s President-Minister, Jacquelyn Eckert, and Vice President-Minister, Rhoda Makled 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

How to Train Your Dragon (2010) will be our movie for the month of September.
Please note, that this is the original (first) film in the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy. All three films have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature
Follow the adventures of the young Viking named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, son of Stoick the Vast, leader of the Viking island of Berk. Although initially dismissed as a clumsy and underweight misfit, he soon becomes renowned as a courageous expert in dragons, alongside Toothless, a member of the rare Night Fury breed as his flying mount and his closest companion. Upon becoming leaders of their kind, Hiccup and Toothless are forced to make choices that will truly ensure peace between people and dragons.
As you watch with Inner Wisdom, what is helpful for you will naturally pop out. A taste of what can be contemplated include:
Recognizing and following one’s inner calling by listening to the True Inner Voice even when it means letting go of a self-concept and opening to the unknown, true forgiveness, and the development of trust. You are invited to notice if there is a desire to believe that there are good characters and bad characters. Characters and stories within the story indicate many desires, such as the desire to be right, to be in control, to keep things the way they are, or to desire for something to be different than it is. Notice how consciously or unconsciously choosing desires for particular experiences affects the characters.
This movie is available on Amazon Prime, Apple iTunes, YouTube, Vudu, DIRECTV, Microsoft Store, Redbox, Google Play Movies, Amazon Video, and AMC on Demand.
