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.

Title: “
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.
