Qigong: “The Movement of Now” with Ian McArthur, “Opening & Closing”

In this program, Ian teaches about the traditional Mind, Body, and Spirit practice of Qigong (Chi Kung). Qi means life energy, referring to the energy circulating through the body, and Gong means cultivation or work. The two words are combined to describe the practice to cultivate and balance life energy. By following movements (forms) and a simple breathing technique, we encourage more Qi to flow which in turn allows us to feel more peaceful and at One with ourselves.

At this retreat, each one will have the opportunity to speak, to teach, to listen, to meditate, to contemplate, and to commune in sangha with one another.

Shawna Summers will facilitate the Self-Inquiry Retreat. This retreat is based on the teaching of Indian sage, Ramana Maharshi. At this retreat, you will learn the subtleties of self-inquiry. You will participate in guided self-inquiry, meditative self-inquiry, self-inquiry with a partner, journaling based on self-inquiry, and you will contemplate and discuss quotes by Ramana Maharshi. The purpose of the retreat is to help you make advances in the process of self-inquiry in a very short time, so when you go home from the retreat, you will be able to use self-inquiry more effectively to abide in the true Self and detach from the false self.

Enlightened Leadership: Building the Foundation ~ “Straw Dogs”

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

5/14/23 Weekly Gathering: “I’m Ok, You’re Ok”

George Maddox

Weekly Sunday Gathering with Rev. George Maddox

Title: “I’m Ok, You’re Ok”

Description: There is a book entitled I’m Ok, You’re Ok.  For almost all of us, it doesn’t seem that way, until it does. One of the major goals of awakening is to truly know that everything that seems to be happening is, by design,  guiding us to that realization. Rev. George explored the truth that conscious awareness, the Oneness within each of us, is showing us the way.

Reading: Inka Omholt read a message written by Gina Lake entitled “Jesus Speaking, On Being in the World”. Here’s a link to the message by Gina Lake: Click Here

Seven Steps Journal: Out of the Stillness ~ Maturity & Devotion (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.

Rhoda ~ Living the Undefended Surrender Experiment, “Looking at Beliefs About Sleep”

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.
