In this Quarterly Member Meeting, President Minister, Rhoda Makled hosted and shared about:
We were thrilled to have two special events during this month’s Quarterly Member Meeting.
We celebrated Joy’s commitment and completion of the Ministerial Preparation Program (MPP) at her ordination ceremony. Rev. Regina Dawn Akers was our guest speaker.
Rev. Rhoda Makled introduced, Quarterly Volunteer Spotlight. It is a time when a volunteer within Awakening Together is spotlighted for their contributions and service. Lin Castaldo was our first spotlight! Rev. Anne Blanchard was the guest speaker.
Join Rev. Michele Hojnacki, Sami Ross and Jai Segal for their program, Contemplating the Thoughts of Awakening – A Daily Devotional Practice. This year-long daily devotional program began on January 1, 2025, and is held seven days a week from 8:30am – 9:00am ET / 6:30am – 7:00am MT.
The group’s aim is to support one another in a daily practice of inner listening using the Thoughts of Awakening. This group could benefit those new to inner contemplation or anyone wishing to enhance their practice. Daily, we will contemplate a single Thought of Awakening with our inner teacher. Following Regina’s recommendation, we’ll write it down and carrying it with us for reflection throughout the day, as well as reflecting on and putting into practice guidance received from our own inner teacher.

A new Year 3 group, led by Rev. Michele Hojnacki, will meet weekly in the Sanctuary on Mondays starting March 3rd at 5-6 pm ET/4-5 pm MT. Please be aware that Gentle Healing Years 1 and 2 are prerequisites for participation in this program. We don’t recommend Year 3 for anyone who has not completed Year 2. This is because the contemplations build a clear understanding of the spiritual teachings that are taught in Year 1 and Year 2.
Year 3 is based on The Seven Steps to Awakening and the supporting book, Out of the Stillness which will be contemplated with Inner Wisdom. Participants will be asked to participate in class and to post their contemplations on the Awakening Together Forum. If you plan to join this Year 3 group and have not yet registered for the Forum, you may do so here: Awakening Together Discussion Forum.
Rev. Shawna demonstrates the art of Sacred Inquiry in real-time. She follows Guidance, questioning each layer that the thinking mind offers as it attempts to hide the blocks to the Wisdom inherent in us all. She listens, going deeper into beginners’ Mind, with humble and honest curiosity. This is an evolving process, as she feels for the vibrational level of each thought, exploring and fully feeling What IS. Her real-time contemplation is guided moment to moment by Inner Wisdom.

Title: “Beyond the Known”
Description: In order to know who we are it is required that we give our willingness to let go of who we are not. And what we “are not”, in Truth, is anything that has even a flavor of fear. Join Rev. Cyndi during this gathering as she shares her experience using a very simple prayer to uncover and release fear thoughts that block the experience of Truth.
Reading: Rona Marren read an excerpt from “The Only Little Prayer You Need” by Debra Landwehr Engle.
