Join us at 1:30 pm ET/ 11:30 am MT for The Freedom Practice Sangha

Following the recent Awakening Together online retreats it has become clear that many feel called to dive into intensive follow-up work. While the practice of unearthing and looking directly at our individual beliefs is primarily solitary in nature, we all recognize that the sharing of that work with others who are undergoing the same process can be enormously beneficial and supportive. This will be a time of sharing our inquiries, insights and challenges, listening to others, or just knowing that we are in community as we find that undefended place within ourselves that longs to be free.
If you feel called to dive deeper into this work, please join us. All are warmly welcome.

Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for Something Genuine with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert facilitates this program, in which Awakening Together members and friends join together to watch and discuss TED talks that reveal the Truth of ourselves and our universe based on the actual experience of ordinary people. Their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma—and give us a “man on the street” perspective on what we are coming to learn through Awakening Together.

Join us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for The Guiding Light with Rev. Regina Dawn Akers

Regina Dawn Akers reads selections from books by Bernadette Roberts. The purpose of this inspired book study is to learn from one who walked through the final doorway to no self, no world, no God–Only Reality.

Join us at 8:00 pm ET/ 6:00 pm MT for Movie Discussion Group

This month’s movie is called Chocolat, starring Johnny Depp. A young mother and her daughter arrive in a new town. While the town is very conservative, Vianne (Binoche) is quite unconventional. Vianne opens a confectioner’s shop, and as the two newcomers begin to interact with the other villagers, change seems to be in the air, even for Vianne herself when Roux (Johnny Depp) enters her life and her daughter begins to chafe at their vagabond lifestyle.

There are other major and minor characters in the film that confront similar changes in their lives, and they all meet them in their own way. The movie teaches us that we shouldn’t be closing ourselves off from others because of their differences. Instead, we should be opening our doors to others even if they live differently than we do; it’s about understanding that everyone has something to bring to the table that’s worthwhile, whether it’s the traveling chocolatier or the old-fashioned mayor.”

Ron Raitz will be facilitating this month’s movie discussion group. Please join us Sunday, May 24th at 8 pm ET/6 pm MT for what will be a most meaningful discussion for all us in this time of change.
