Satsang Reflections is a monthly dialogue held after the Satsang. This installment will be on Monday, January 20th, 2025, from 11 am – 12 pm ET. Joseph Schmitz will facilitate this installment.

The purpose of this program is to share what was most impactful. Hear from others about what they took away, and deepen into the teaching from the Satsang interview with Regina Dawn Akers where she was interviewed by Rhoda Makled.

We hope you will join us live to discuss and dive deeper into the inspiration that was shared during the Satsang with Regina. Or, just listen in and hear all the biggest highlights and see if this particular Satsang might inspire you in some way.

Awakening Together is delighted to continue the recently renewed Spiritual Mentoring Program, designed to support you on your spiritual journey through two possible opportunities. This program is tailored to accommodate both communal and individual needs as well as fostering a nurturing environment where participants can explore, understand, and deepen their spiritual practice.

Mentoring Sangha: 6 or 12 Week Spiritual Practice Sessions

Part one of our program offers participants the unique opportunity to join a small, intimate sangha that meets weekly under the guidance of a certified spiritual mentor. Sanghas are best for those who are seeking an opportunity to grow their own spiritual confidence, competence and commitment. Each sangha is limited to a maximum of three participants plus the mentor, creating a supportive and confidential space to share and explore spiritual practices. Over the course of 6 or 12 weeks, these sessions are dedicated to the following:

• Collective Sharing: Engage in meaningful discussions about personal challenges and spiritual questions, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.
• Agreed Practices: Through consensus, the group will select specific spiritual practices to contemplate and implement in their daily lives, creating a practical framework for becoming Self reliant on Inner Wisdom.
• Reflective Reporting: Participants will have the chance to reflect on their experiences, sharing insights and breakthroughs, fostering spiritual commitment, competency and confidence through an ever-deepening connection to Inner Wisdom.

The 2- hour sangha meetings are structured to ensure a nurturing and productive environment. The cost for this transformative journey:

• 6-week journey is $180
• 12-week journey is $360

A valuable investment in your spiritual confidence, competence and commitment.

If you’d like to participate but require financial assistance, we offer scholarships that cover 50% of the cost. Please contact us for more information. Our pricing policies and scholarship opportunities are designed to ensure that no one is excluded due to financial limitations.

To participate in a Sangha as a mentee, the mentee agrees to uphold the covenants of membership.

One-On-One Mentoring

For those seeking more confidential guidance, Awakening Together offers a second component which is one-on-one spiritual mentoring. This aspect of the program is designed to provide:

• Individual Confidential Attention: These sessions are available to support you as you navigate challenges, uncertainties, and the complexities of your spiritual journey.
• Flexible Support: These sessions can be either on-going or a one-off depending on the uncertainties or complexities involved. You and your mentor can come to agreement on this aspect either from the beginning of your registration or during the first session.
• On-going Availability: You have the opportunity to develop an on-going relationship with a mentor who is on stand-by for when you get the prompt to seek ongoing mentoring support even if it’s not immediately clear what the frequency or duration will be.  You need not pre-pay, or specify beforehand.  This allows you to deepen your relationship with your own inner teacher and trust the prompts to seek mentorship when needed.

Our donation-based approach ensures that no one is turned away due to financial constraints. Participants are encouraged to contribute according to their ability, with a recommended donation of $75/hour. Contributions can be allocated solely to the mentor or shared with Awakening Together, supporting the broader spiritual community.

Our Renewed Spiritual Mentoring Program offers a comprehensive, supportive framework to elevate and deepen your spiritual practice. With both sangha-based sessions and individual mentoring options, Awakening Together is dedicated to supporting your spiritual growth in a way that resonates with your journey and supports your ongoing needs.

During this Reflections program, retreat participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences and insights. They will also be discussing any breakthroughs and wisdom gained from the retreat.

All are welcome to join!

We are delighted to welcome our founding minister, Regina Dawn Akers, as our January Satsang guest. This special event will take place on Sunday, January 19th, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. MT in our Zoom sanctuary. Regina will be interviewed by Rev. Rhoda Makled.

Following one of Regina’s recent homilies, Rhoda found herself writing to Regina to inquire about some of her statements during the gathering. What followed was a conversation about some of the questions Rhoda found herself not posing publicly or with others. Following this written exchange Regina graciously offered to participate in a Satsang. We are excited to have this opportunity to have Regina in the sanctuary as our first Satsang guest of 2025.

For those who are not as familiar with Regina’s story here is some background:
Awakening Together‘s founder, Regina Dawn Akers, grew up in middle-America as a Christian. Her religious training came from more than one Christian faith, and she was aware of differences in Biblical interpretation within the Christian community. She was also aware of the similarities that crossed all denominational boundaries, the most important of which was the statement, “God is love.” Regina knew in her heart that this must be true, and she yearned to know God’s love perfectly.

Although Regina was fascinated by all religions, she never felt to settle with any particular religion. She was driven by an inner desire she was not yet fully aware of, and Regina needed time to discover the calling within her heart.

In April of 2004, Regina spontaneously awakened to her own desire while praying. She describes that prayer this way:

“As I was praying, I felt overcome by a desire to be useful. I wanted nothing more than to be completely useful to God for the rest of my life. I told Him that I would learn anything He wanted me to learn and do anything He wanted me to do. I just asked Him to please make me useful.”

Regina left her career and home in Massachusetts and moved with her young daughter to North Carolina. After the move was complete, she began the work of listening to the inner dictation that resulted in The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI).

In March of 2006, Regina received guidance to start The Foundation for the Holy Spirit with two friends, David Fishman and Phil Frisk. The purpose of the foundation was to provide resources, teaching and counseling to help individuals become Self-Reliant with their own inner guide, the Holy Spirit. Regina later received guidance to convert Foundation for the Holy Spirit into a church (an assembly of people with a common spiritual purpose) called Awakening Together. Awakening Together’s purpose and five core values were given to her right away from within, so Awakening Togethers’s vision was clear from the beginning.

Books from Regina, all which can be purchased through Amazon:
The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI)
The Teachings of Inner Ramana
Thoughts of Awakening: 365 Thoughts for Contemplation
