These songs came to Resta Burnham from Within as she contemplated the teachings of A Course in Miracles. There are 13 volumes in all! Regina sees the Music of Christ as one of her first spiritual teachers. She used the songs as a form of meditation and as gentle guides when she needed assistance during the purification phase of the spiritual path.
We are very pleased to share Resta’s music with you!
If you enjoy these songs and find them helpful, you can download them individually or by Volume on Resta’s website, Journey of the Mind. You can also find written copies of the lyrics on Resta’s website. Music of Christ is given freely without copyright restriction.

Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for Freedom Practice Sangha facilitated by Anne BlanchardFollowing the recent Awakening Together online retreats it has become clear that many feel called to dive into intensive follow-up work. While the practice of unearthing and looking directly at our individual beliefs is primarily solitary in nature, we all recognize that the sharing of that work with others who are undergoing the same process can be enormously beneficial and supportive. This will be a time of sharing our inquiries, insights and challenges, listening to others, or just knowing that we are in community as we find that undefended place within ourselves that longs to be free.
Join us at 5:00 pm ET/ 3:00 pm MT for The Mighty CompanionsRevs. Glen Ganaway and Yolanda Mapes, who are interfaith ministers, share a delightful, funny, and inspiring hour of A Course in Miracles. Come join in on the fun, the laughs, and the music while unlearning the ego through the lessons and chapters of ACIM.
Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for Something Genuine with Rev. Jacquelyn EckertRev. Jacquelyn Eckert facilitates this program, in which Awakening Together members and friends join together to watch and discuss TED talks that reveal the Truth of ourselves and our universe based on the actual experience of ordinary people. Their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma—and give us a “man on the street” perspective on what we are coming to learn through Awakening Together.
Join us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for Clarifying the Teachings with Regina Dawn AkersEach week Regina picks a different topic and clarifies the teaching around that topic. She also takes questions regarding that topic. If there is extra time at the end of the session, she takes questions on any spiritual topic in a Satsang-type of format.

In this program, Paul through the vehicle of Satsang and repetition will be helping us to let go of misidentification and recognize Being Consciousness as our Truth.
Paul suggests repetition through Satsangs is helpful. It is an example of how the dreamING repurposes another programming element, repetition. What was used to (mis)identify, becomes instead a helpful undoing within the dreaming of that identification. The helpfulness of the Message is recognized in what Paul calls “traveling lighter.” In the surrender of an assumed need to escape/improve, the ever-present reality of consciousness already now/here becomes where our interest stays. Being consciousness in contact (in/as/through sensory experiencING), we appreciate being “successful” – already, as that Reality.
You can also learn more about Paul on his website www.zenbitchslap.com or his YouTube channel under the same title (Zen Bitchslap).

During our time together, we will explore what it takes to live from an open, undefended heart. Naturally, any true exploration of living from the heart necessarily entails taking a deep and sustained look at what prevents us from keeping our hearts open. Grounded in the knowledge that the essence of us, our true nature, is the very lovingness within us all, we will explore how to recognize and release egoic energies by cultivating open-hearted awareness practices which support us in directly experiencing our true Self. By leaning into willingness, steeped in self-honesty, and with a consistent dash of courage, we endeavor to open to whatever life brings, as it brings it, that is, on life’s terms. In so doing, we trust that everything – absolutely everything – is here for us to use for healing, for purification, and for learning to live from the heart. We look forward to supporting each other in our individual explorations of how we truly embrace the entirety of this show we call life.

Five Unexpected Pathways to Wisdom Retreat
Every obstacle, has at least one doorway hidden within it. When you find the doorway and walk through it, the obstacle becomes a pathway. At this retreat, we will teach you how to notice when you are automatically rejecting the current experience, and then we will show you how to explore that same experience and discover the passageway to the core of wisdom, which lies at the heart of us all.
Loving Consciousness, Loving All RetreatThe Loving Consciousness Method of meditation and the Loving All Method of practice were developed by Michael Langford as Direct Path practices that will help you awaken (end the ego illusion) in this lifetime.
At this retreat, we will practice the Loving Consciousness Method and the Loving All Method using directions written by Michael Langford. Rhoda Makled will introduce exercises, designed by Regina Dawn Akers, that can help enhance mastery of the Loving Consciousness and Loving All methods.
