Sounds of Awakening ~ 2-12-22

February 13, 2023

Rev. Yolanda’s guest, back for the second time, was Adam B. Shapiro. Adam is a TV/Film actor and also an award-winning singer and cabaret performer. He is best known for the movie The Normal Heart (2014), and TV shows The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017) and Master of None (2015).

Adam won the 2013 MAC Award for Musical Comedy performer of the year for his show “Guide to the Perfect Breakup”. In 2021, he released his debut EP “Let Love In”.

Adam was born in Indianapolis Indiana and attended Ball State University in Muncie IN, and is an experienced stage actor in both English and Yiddish. He was the understudy for Tevye and Lazer Wolf in “Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish” Off-Broadway and has worked extensively with the National Yiddish Theater Folksbiene (despite growing up with no exposure to Yiddish and only beginning to learn it when he was cast by NYTF for the first time). You can find out more about Adam on his website: adambshapiro.com

Rev. Yolanda, the host of Sounds of Awakening, is a trans femme genderqueer singer-songwriter actor, Interfaith Music Minister, and a very grateful member of the member Board of Trustees for Awakening-Together. Rev. Yolanda has been making music/theater/TV/film/performance art for well over 35 years, winning the NYC MAC Award twice and inducted into both the NY Blues Hall of Fame and The GLBT Hall of Fame.

One of Rev. Yolanda’s greatest joys is being an active member of Awakening-Together’s assembly of equals. The personal learning/healing that has occurred in her from the sharing that takes place in this community, is a gift that she is forever grateful for.

2/12/23 Weekly Gathering: “The I-Me-Mine of Attack”

February 12, 2023

Weekly Sunday Gathering with Rev. Rhoda Makled

Title: “The I-Me-Mine of Attack”

Description: Rev. Rhoda explored recent attack thoughts that have been coming up for her and the underlying belief in separation that reinforces attack thoughts. It all feels helpful in theory to ponder whether or not attack is possible but when the belief is alive and feels real (meaning “I feel attacked”) what does fear teach me about the belief in separation and attack? Rhoda shared how to apply trust when fear is alive, energized, and running through the system.

Reading: Audrey Whitehead read excerpts from the transcript from “Is Attack Possible?” from Regina Dawn Akers’  Clarifying the Teachings program.

Enlightened Leadership: Building the Foundation

February 8, 2023

A New Sanctuary Program Beginning March 12, 2023 in the Sanctuary on Sundays at 6pm ET.

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.

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. You will not need the books to join, however if you would like to contemplate along with them they are using these 3 books:

  • Tao Te Ching by Derek Lin
  • Tao Te Ching by Wayne Wang
  • Tao Te Ching by Stephen Mitchell

RDA Seven Steps Journal: Out of the Stillness ~ Til the Death of the Ego (Step One)

February 8, 2023

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 Undefended Surrender Experiment, “Dance of Personal Responsibility/Guilt”

February 8, 2023

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.
