Some of Ken’s spiritual influences include “Disappearance of the Universe”, Regina Dawn Akers and Brent Haskell. Ken is an Awakening Together Ordained Minister. Ken holds an MBA from the University of La Verne and his work experience has been primarily in financial systems and international contract negotiations.

Book Suggestions for Teaching in the Sanctuary
Teaching in the Awakening Together Sanctuary is a great way to strengthen your ability to allow spontaneous inner wisdom to come through you.
If you are interested in taking a half-hour time slot and teaching in the Awakening Together Sanctuary, please submit a program proposal. Here’s how:
- Take a look at the Program Schedule and pick an open 30-minute time slot that fits your schedule.
- Select an inspirational book to inspire your sharing. Here is a list of books for you to consider, but you are not restricted to this list when picking the right book for you.
- Decide on a name for your program.
- Write to [email protected] with a brief program proposal to include the desired time slot, the name of your program and a brief description. For example:
I am interested in taking a time slot in the Sanctuary on Monday evenings. I could teach at either 7pm or 7:30pm ET. I would like to share from The Unfindable Query by Scott Kiloby. I want to learn Scott’s method of inqury. I plan to read from Scott’s book, share about what I am reading, and practice Scott’s query method on myself as part of my program. The title for my program is “Insight Through Inquiry.”
You may also propose the number of weeks you would like to teach or you may leave it open-ended. Once we receive your proposal, we will review it and get back to you.
Developing Trust Interview – Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert
Jacquelyn Eckert
Jacquelyn is Awakening Together’s Vice President, an Awakening Together Ordained Minister, and a founding Trustee. Jacquelyn is a graduate of Harvard Law School and is a semi-retired District Court Judge. She has a substantial history with nonprofits including service on several nonprofit boards in roles including chair, vice-chair, and secretary. Jacquelyn grew up reading Edgar Cayce, Ruth Montgomery and Emmet Fox, began studying A Course in Miracles in the early 1980’s, and has continued to pursue an ultimate understanding of the Self through numerous non-dual teachings.
Jacquelyn and her husband, Tom Conway, met on retreat in 2010. At that time, each was led by inner wisdom to embrace the other in what they trusted would be a holy relationship. Tom and Jacquelyn will be co-hosting the Joy of Relationship Couples Retreat in Louisville Kentucky April 26-30 with John Mark Stroud and Cindy Stroud. As co-hosts, they will share their experience of the struggle and rewards of choosing to move from their special relationship framework to a relationship premised first and foremost on undoing the ego.
Join us for our Monthly Satsang with Mary Reed, this Sunday, January 15, 7:30 – 9 pm ET (4:30 – 6 pm PST)
Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert will interview Mary Reed. Mary Reed is an “accidental” mystic who, following eleven years of profound, involuntary visions and insights into divine realms, surrendered her executive life in Washington, DC to explore her spiritual gifts in a remote Buddhist nunnery in India. She grew up without any interest in religion but with an innate knowing that humans had more ability to access greater wisdom than most seemed to realize.
When not immersed in silence and contemplation in the Himalayas, Mary inspires audiences far and wide with her story and perspectives. Using the unique lens of mysticism through which she has been viewing both Divine and earthly realms for fifteen years, Mary’s 2016 tour focused on the answer to a single question: If Love is all we need, then why hasn’t it ever been enough to make our suffering go away? In her words, “If we want a world in which Love really is all we need, then we need to know what Love really is. And if we as individuals want to be part of the awakening experience that is manifesting that world, then we need to know what it is to BE that Love.”

Self Differentiated Living and Leading – 4-Week Mini-Series for the New Year with Martha Creek. Starts Sunday, 1/8/17
This 4-week training is open to anyone on a path of self-realization with an interest in developing awareness and skills in the following areas:
- Persons follow an inner compass. They are guided by their own clear and coherent beliefs, principles and life goals.
- Persons take responsibility for self. They are aware of their own feelings, and neither blame others for them nor require others to share those feelings. They ask themselves regularly “What can I learn from this situation?”
- Persons respond to anxiety. They anticipate and recognize heightened anxiety (due to change, loss, crisis, etc.) and accept periods of tension as they address issues and complete tasks.
- Persons are challenged. They allow persons to work through times of stress or pain. They tolerate the discomfort that can go along with the stresses and strains of both significant mission and individual growth.
- Persons respect boundaries. They recognize and respect where one person ends and another begins. Agreed upon roles, structures and procedures are respected. Individual thoughts and feelings are respected. There is little pressure to “Go Along” with the group.
- Persons stay in contact. They resist tendencies to distance or cut off from those with whom there is disagreement. They work together for a sufficient amount of time to maintain relationships.
We will also address some things to QUIT in the new year including:
8 Quits
1) Quit Being Afraid of What Others Think
Anchor your wholeness in the love of God/Creator. Quit relying on the approval and acknowledgment of others for your sense of self worth.
2) Quit Lying
Live truly free to unrelenting honesty with yourself, God and others. Quit pretending everything is fine, when it is not and change your life.
3) Quit Dying to the Wrong Things
Receive the many gifts god has provided for you that nurture and delight your soul. Quit dying to those things that bring you life.
4) Quit Denying Anger, Sadness and Fear
Embrace your God given humanity by paying attention to your “difficult” emotions and discerning how God wants to come to you through them. Quit ignoring feelings.
5) Quit Blaming
Take responsibility for your own life and happiness. Quit giving away your God given personal freedom and power.
6) Quit Overfunctioning
Don’t do for others what they could and should do for themselves. Quit trying to control people and situation.
7) Quit Faulty Thinking
Choose to live in reality and truth rather than with distorted thinking. Quit making assumptions that will leave you powerless and in unnecessary pain.
8) Quit Living Someone Else’s Life
Take up the challenge of living your God given, unique, unrepeatable, life and destiny.
About Martha Creek:

The practices, exercises and experiences Martha offers invites participants to approach their inner work as an adventurer with a sense of curiosity and wonder. Being a master of the art of right questioning, Creek, in her workshops calls forth the most stubborn, self-defeating and embedded patterns in participants with an invitation to a new reality.

They include: bachelor degrees in Accounting, Human Resources, and Organizational Management: a graduate degree from Emerson Theological Seminary. She has also attended; Hoffman Institute, Byron Katie International School, Healthy Congregations and Family Systems, Lombard Mennonite Peace Center Mediation Skills and Conflict Resolution program, Transcendental Meditation, Reiki, and more. In addition, Creek has served in a ministerial role in both Religious Science and Unity Churches.
