New Program: “Resting in Our Immaculate Nature” Begins Sunday, Nov. 17 at 7:00 p.m. ET

Jill and Joy invite us to gently rest and welcome our immaculate nature into full awareness. As we rest into our natural state, we relax beyond fear—letting go of the energy, beliefs, and egoic desires that contribute to suffering. Together, as a sangha, we cultivate a deepened recognition of our True nature, allowing the energy tied to false beliefs about ourselves to return to its natural state of Pure Divine Light.

Gathering as a sangha heightens our ability to detect obstacles–blocks to our immaculate nature…dense, lower frequency Light–so that these aspects of our being that we made up are welcomed into awareness, hastening their return to the original state as Pure Divine Light. As a sangha, we will use practical examples from our lives. Notably, resting in our True, immaculate nature supports noticing how the false identity that isn’t really what we are, enjoys, even wants!… to believe limiting beliefs (the false/unreal) until we realize what we actually are, immaculate, unaffected Divine Spirit. Join us as we put obstacles on the altar of Truth and free light that has been blocking our palpable awareness of Divine Love. Pointings from The Way of Mastery, ACIM, NTI and more will be used.

Weekly on Sundays, 7:00pm-8:00pm ET / 6:00-5:00pm MT

11-10-24 Weekly Gathering, “I Am Determined to See” with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

Title: “I Am Determined to See”

Description: Rev. Jacquelyn will review the first several ACIM Lessons and corresponding tips from Consistent Gentle Healing as a reminder of the work we are to do on our spiritual journey to seeing with true perception. As NTI Luke reminds us, “The work you are to do is within the mind. It is a work of being aware, not of the world, but of your thoughts about the world.” We will explore, together, the subtlety and pervasiveness of the ego thought system and how what we have been asked to do becomes lost in everyday life.

Reading: Connie Poole read NTI Luke, Ch. 12.

Join Us for Reflections from “Five Unexpected Pathways to Wisdom” Retreat on Nov. 10th at 1:30 pm ET

Join us on Sunday, November 10th, 2024, at 1:30 pm ET/11:30 am MT for Reflections from “Five Unexpected Pathways to Wisdom” retreat.

The “Five Unexpected Pathways to Wisdom” retreat was a 5-day online retreat led by Rev. Anne Blanchard. It was designed to help participants learn about five unexpected pathways to wisdom: thought, judgment, pain, helplessness, and confusion. These five pathways are usually thought of as obstacles. With just the slightest shift it is seen that an obstacle becomes a pathway.

During this program, the 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!

In the Company of Truth with Helen Hamilton ~ 11-06-24

This program is Awakening Together’s In the Company of Truth with Helen Hamilton which airs on the first Wednesday monthly from 3-4 pm ET.  Helen’s core message is that the Realization of the True Self is possible for everyone, no matter what background you may have as long as you want it more than anything else. After all, we are only returning to our natural state, to what we already are. We are only coming to live as that Truth consciously.

Having reached a place of total peace, love, and joy, Helen has dedicated her life to helping others wake up too. The Truth is here and now and accessible to all. Helen will offer her teachings in this monthly Satsang to help you realize and BE the Self you already are.

For more information about Helen and to access her teachings, visit her website: www.HelenHamilton.org.

Rhoda ~ Living the Undefended Surrender Experiment, “The ‘Do Not Delete’ Sub-Program” 11-06-2024

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.
