Our beloved Chairman of the Board, Rev. Hal Seeley, passed away on Saturday, November 9, after experiencing a stroke several days earlier. Hal is shown above standing next to the Cucharas River during his first trip to La Veta, Colorado.

In addition to being an AT Minister and our current Chairman of the Board, Hal built the partitions that create three semi-private rooms in the Ladies’ Dorm at the Retreat House.

Awakening Together will hold a memorial service for Hal in the Awakening Together Sanctuary immediately following the Weekly Gathering this coming Sunday, November 17. The memorial service will begin at at 11:30am ET. We hope you will be able to attend.

The Last Retreat of 2019

Freedom from the Ego Retreat

December 9-13, 2019
with Regina Dawn Akers
at the
Awakening Together Retreat House
in La Veta, Colorado

Last Opportunity to Use Your Free Nights* for a Retreat at the Retreat House

To the degree that you are unaware of ego, you are a slave to ego. It speaks in your mind as you, and you think it is you, so you talk, feel and act based on its deception. The way to become free of ego is, first and foremost, to become aware of its cunning messages.

At this retreat, you will learn to see how the ego tricks you into living from its guidance instead of from spiritual intuition. When you leave this retreat, you will see the ego more clearly than you did before. That will provide you with the opportunity to disregard ego, which is how you free yourself from it.

This retreat is led by Regina Dawn Akers. Regina will emphasize skills that help you transcend ego and recognize inner wisdom as the Voice that makes you happy.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am on Monday, December 9 and end at 3pm on Friday, December 13. We recommend arriving in La Veta on or before Sunday, December 8 and departing on or after Saturday, December 14.

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert will interview Natalie Gray for our Awakening Together Guest Satsang on November 17, 2019 at 7:30 pm ET/4:30 pm PT.

When asked for her biography, Natalie wrote:

“I’m an ordinary being who spent a good part of my childhood and the first 25 years of this adult life searching for meaning and answers. This seeking took many forms including: practicing Catholicism, trying to find a calling (as an actress, teacher and life coach), attending self-help and awareness seminars, study and initiation with various spiritual teachers and teachings and using drugs. After coming to the realization that no one or no thing outside of me was going to provide the answers, an intense internal search for the truth ensued. “The end of seeking” occurred in 2010. There were no more questions. There was no more need for answers. What was sought had been found.

I have been married for 20 years, I do voiceover work for a living, I had a cat until she died last year, I am currently in remission from breast cancer, and I work a 12-step program.

Along with some YouTube videos and a few blog entries, I have mostly shared my experience and insights through one-on-one conversations. It has been nine years since the end of seeking occurred. There has been no shift or change in the perspective I gained then—a clear understanding of what has always been true.”
