May 23, 2023

Revs. Joanne Schneider, Rhoda Makled, and Kelly Barber host the program on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month from 7:30 – 8:30 pm ET.

In this program, we engage in and discuss the 500 Days with NTI program designed by our founder and the scribe of The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI), Regina Dawn Akers. Regina developed this free self-study spiritual curriculum for people with very busy lives. If you don’t have a lot of available time, but you are serious about spiritual awakening, this may be the curriculum for you!

500 Days provides daily exercises that you can do as you work, socialize, clean house, do yard work, work out, play, etc. It’s a course that goes with you wherever you go!

Awakening Together Satsang with Jim Dreaver

May 21, 2023

Listen to the Audio

Watch Video

Jim Dreaver was interviewed by Joy Bedford.

In case you haven’t heard of Jim, Awakening Together shares a regular broadcast with him on Awakening Together Radio. Here’s a little bit of Jim’s backstory.

He served as an army officer with New Zealand artillery forces during the Vietnam War, then worked as a chiropractor in northern California. He was on a spiritual journey for many years before he met European nondual master Jean Klein in 1984. He finally woke up to the fact that he was not his ego “I,” nor any other thought or “story,” in 1995.

Since then, Jim has authored a few books including End Your Story, Begin Your Life (Hampton Roads), The Way ofHarmony (Avon Books) and his newest book Untriggerable: Mastering the Love and Freedom that Heals our World. Jim has also taught at Esalen Institute and elsewhere.

If you feel called, a PDF of his new book, Untriggerable: Mastering the Love and Freedom that Heals our World is available on his website for any donation and type UNTRIGGERABLE in the box.

He is also available for private sessions, with the first one being by donation.

Enlightened Leadership: Building the Foundation ~ “Inexhaustible Mother”

May 21, 2023

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.

Reflections from the May 2023 Dyad Retreat

May 21, 2023

Listen to the Recording

Psychologists have discovered that dyads (two people sharing in a structured way) are a powerful way of going deeper within one’s self in order to see that which is beyond one’s daily conscious awareness. At this past retreat that was facilitated by both Anne Blanchard and Rev. Cyndi Krupp, participants utilized this same practice for the purpose of awakening.

In this recording, we hear how this retreat has helped to further the awakening to the one True Self via the powerful practice of dyads.
