Here is some information provided by Violet Synergy:

My name is Violet Richele (Alice) and I am a Lover of Truth & Dance, Intuitive Inquiry Facilitator, Meditation Guide, Artist, & Writer creating through emotion & intuition.  My goal in sharing my journey through childhood, spirituality, and creativity is to show you that no matter who you are, where you came from, or what disabilities you may have you do have the capacity to open to your creative impulses and live a life free of the structural demands society suggests.

I interact with creativity from my direct experience, I have learned to trust and use my “disabilities” to my advantage.  We are all unique and beautiful in our own ways. I think there is a very strong unknown sensitivity to us creators, we find peace while we are creating but can’t seem to find peace in other areas of life.  This is why I have a passion for Non-Duality teachings. Creativity and Non-Duality go hand in hand. Recognizing unconditional love in all things can allow you the chance to create from an unknown place. A place of surrender, a place of true freedom.  
 
If I share with you for one moment, my only hope is that you will know that what you are experiencing is true, and that you have the capacity to trust it.  My sharing’s are based on radical truth.  I communicate through the aliveness of the moment.  I see that direct experience and practicing Inquiry through the senses is the way.  I hope to share this truth with  those who are ready.   This aliveness isn’t mine, I can not give it nor take it away from you.  It’s an unknown magical dance.  Shall  we look for the dancer?

About Keith:

Keith first heard of A Course In Miracles 30 years ago in a talk by Wayne Dyer where the Course was quoted and he has been reading it ever since. Life took a turn just over a decade ago when a crippling Generalized Anxiety Disorder took hold of his life for 8 years, effectively reducing it to a half-life. It culminated in a rock bottom point of readiness to devote himself to the Course in earnest.

Through his devoted practice, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder disappeared and he started having awakening and Oneness experiences. Keith was asked to share his experience in two podcast talks and from that, there was a large number of requests for more teachings.

This was to birth the “A Course In Miracles with Keith” Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/384802770144828), Zoom Meetings, YouTube Channel, Podcast (https://www.acimwithkeith.com/podcast), and, eventually, private mentoring.

In the Facebook group, Zoom Meetups and his podcast, there is further exploration of the practical application of A Course In Miracles based on the teachings of Kenneth Wapnick and of how what Ken taught brings the Course into alignment with many other Spiritual paths and teachings.

Keith says the following about his podcast: 

“We delve deeply into the metaphysics of A Course In Miracles, but our primary emphasis is always on masterclassing the forgiveness process it teaches in our daily lives.”

Questions asked by attendees during this interview and addressed by Keith include:

- Knowing Awakening is simply allowance of the present moment, what do you think "Abiding Awakening", as you coined it, is?

- Please speak about the world as an illusion

- Could you discuss how to get to the present moment awareness in the workplace?

- I find it very challenging to be in allowance or acceptance while experiencing illness or pain. Can you give us a process for dealing with these?

- Wouldn't it also be necessary, in addition to allowing the thoughts and sensations to be there at that moment, to recognize them as totally illusory and part of this entire illusion that does not exist for forgiveness to happen?

This episode of Satsang Reflections is based on our Satsang with Jeff Bailey, who was interviewed by  Rev. Cyndi Krupp on January 21, 2024, live in the ⁠Awakening Together Sanctuary⁠.

Satsang Reflections is a monthly dialogue usually held after the Satsang. It's an opportunity to share what was most impactful, hear from others about what they took away, and deepen into the teaching from the Satsang.

Jeff was not only a guest for our January 2024 Satsang but he also shares in the sanctuary on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month @ 5:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. MT. His program is called “The Yoga Mind.” He is also leading a retreat at the Awakening Together Retreat House in La Veta, CO called “Healing through Yoga and Prayer.” If you’re a long time yoga practitioner or a newbie Jeff’s gentle integrated approach promises to support you.

Jeff has been a student of A Course In Miracles since 1990. One of its principle messages corresponds perfectly with The Yoga Sutras: to identify and resolve the obstacles to peace and lasting freedom. His consistent dedication to our shared, eternal truth has inspired Avita as a unique and healing approach to yoga. Jeff has found that yoga can heal almost anything with a reflective, self-forgiving approach. 

Jeff is the founder of Avita Yoga. He has a long and diverse yoga background that began in 1985 in Gunnison, CO. The son of a rural veterinarian, Jeff developed an early appreciation for anatomy and physiology, both of which form a basis for the practical nature of a yoga practice. He can reduce the complexities of the body and mind to simple, understandable terms and works with people of all ages to relieve chronic pain and bring more joy to life.

Her journey started by working with the subconscious mind through Centerpoint Holosync meditation. She then progressed to working with the conscious mind through Vipassana meditations, A Course in Miracles (ACIM), and eventually Self Inquiry. Alongside these practices, she sought guidance from various gurus and teachers. It was during this time that she met Regina at a local ACIM meeting, which led her to further explorations, including ACIM gatherings, the CMC Ministerial program Ministerial program, Awakening Together’s MPP, Ramana Maharishi’s teachings, Michael Langford’s insights, and AHAM meditation and retreat center.

In 2018, Karen dedicated several weeks to a Rupert Spira meditation on Existence. She was determined to grasp the essence of Rupert’s teachings before moving forward. During a walk, she posed a profound question to her mind: “If I’m not the body, then what exists?” Everything came to a halt as her mind grappled with the question and eventually surrendered, realizing that it did not exist as a distinct identity. There was only existence. This revelation echoed the words of Moses, “I am that I AM.”

As a community, our mission is to guide individuals toward self-reliance on their inner wisdom, and Rev. Karen Worth exemplifies the heart of this mission through her personal journey of aligning with her inner wisdom. She  shared how her path evolved from being an “Awakening Together member with a seeker identity” to experiencing the shedding of various identities.

Rev. Manuela’s quest for meaning initially led her to seek answers externally, until a profound encounter with Regina Dawn Akers triggered a deep transformation within her. Regina’s authentic living and teachings deeply resonated with Manuela. In 2016, Manuela completed the Minister’s Preparation Program, not with the intention of becoming a minister, but to let the course transform both “her” and “her life.”

As a community, our mission is to guide individuals towards self-reliance on their inner wisdom, and Rev. Manuela Giaroli epitomizes the essence of this mission through her personal journey of living in alignment with her inner wisdom. She shared how her path evolved from being an “Awakening Together member with a seeker identity” to experiencing the shedding of various identities.

These interactions with seekers began to unfold organically around 15 years after his own awakening. Through casual conversations with friends and acquaintances, the subject of living a life without the burden of perceptual filters would emerge from time to time. Over the years, this natural exchange of ideas culminated in Dr. Dilullo's book, “Awake: It’s Your Turn,” which serves as a guiding light for those inclined toward the path of awakening.

#Spirituality #AwakeningTogether #DavidHemphill

Rev. David Hemphill was interviewed by Rhoda Makled live in the Awakening Together sanctuary on August 20, 2023.

As a community, our mission is to help people become Self-reliant on their own Inner Wisdom. Rev. David Hemphill is a living demonstration of the fruits of this mission of living from Inner Wisdom.

He began his spiritual path in 2012 with his mentor Nyki Dobson*. Having signed the constitution of Awakening Together shortly after, he worked as a founding trustee board member and graduated from the first class of the Ministerial Preparation Program (MPP) led by Regina Dawn Akers on May 10, 2015.

Since 2015, David has remained in communal service with Awakening-Together through publishing spiritual writings, participating in the benevolence subcommittee, and occasionally teaching some MPP courses. His primary spiritual practice is surrender, meditation, and inquiry. Although able to follow spiritual discussions use spiritual language (e.g., Spirit, Guidance, True Self), most of his experience discussing and applying spiritual teachings has occurred through the context lenses of business, psychology, trauma, and interpersonal relationship. David’s favorite teachings are those of Byron Katie, Michael Langford, and Ramana Maharshi.

In case you haven’t heard of Jim, Awakening Together shares a regular broadcast with him on Awakening Together Radio. Here’s a little bit of Jim’s backstory.

He served as an army officer with New Zealand artillery forces during the Vietnam War, then worked as a chiropractor in northern California. He was on a spiritual journey for many years before he met European nondual master Jean Klein in 1984. He finally woke up to the fact that he was not his ego “I,” nor any other thought or “story,” in 1995.

Since then, Jim has authored a few books including End Your Story, Begin Your Life (Hampton Roads), The Way ofHarmony (Avon Books) and his newest book Untriggerable: Mastering the Love and Freedom that Heals our World. Jim has also taught at Esalen Institute and elsewhere.

If you feel called, a PDF of his new book, Untriggerable: Mastering the Love and Freedom that Heals our World is available on his website for any donation and type UNTRIGGERABLE in the box.

He is also available for private sessions, with the first one being by donation.

#Spirituality #AwakeningTogether #Leonard Jacobson

Leonard Jacobson shared the teachings from his most recent work Liberating Jesus as well as about his upcoming book which he plans to release in February of 2023. This interview is part of Awakening Together's Monthly Satsang series: https://awakening-together.org/category/sidebar/satsangtalks/

Leonard is deeply committed to helping others break through to the joyous experience of living in the NOW.

Leonard teaches how to become fundamentally present and how to arise in mastery of your mind and ego, so that you are no longer involuntarily pulled out of Presence. Leonard embodies a profound depth of Presence and his teachings are a powerful reminder that in truth, there is no life outside of this moment. He has been guiding people how to be present for over 40 years.

Leonard teaches that the fully awakened state of consciousness is available now. It is not something that occurs in the future. It is not something that we can arrive at through spiritual practice. It is already here, waiting to be revealed. As you awaken into the present moment, your thoughts will stop, your mind will fall silent, and you will awaken to an inner silence and peace that is beyond understanding. You will begin to encounter what the mystics and Masters have been speaking of for centuries.

One of the most significant aspects of Leonard’s teaching is his unique insight into the nature of the mind and ego. Leonard teaches us how to come into right relationship with the ego in a way that helps the ego to relax, and he teaches us how to integrate awakened consciousness into everyday life and relationships.

He is the founder of The Conscious Living Foundation, a registered non-profit organization. In 2005, he was awarded the Peace Prize by Religious Science International, although he is not affiliated or associated with any religion or church. His teaching is both inclusive of, and transcendent of, all religions and spiritual traditions. It is for all those genuinely seeking to awaken, and for all those who want to overcome the pain and limitations of the past, and open into a more loving and abundant world.

Leonard is the author of six books, Words from Silence, Journey into Now, Embracing the Present, Bridging Heaven & Earth, Liberating Jesus and In Search of the Light, a winner of the Indie Children’s book award. Journey into Now has been translated into eight different languages.

He lives in Asheville, North Carolina and offers evening teaching sessions, weekend workshops, and longer residential retreats in the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia.

Chelan Harkin spoke with Anne Blanchard on October 16, 2022, as part of Awakening Together's monthly satsang series.

Chelan is the author of two beautiful books of spiritual poetry. Her first collection is called Susceptible to Light. Her most recent book is Let Us Dance! The Stumble And Whirl With The Beloved.

Chelan describes her poetry collections this way:

“Let Us Dance! The Stumble And Whirl With The Beloved, is here to inspire you to harness your beautiful, dynamic power and look the world directly in the eye. It emboldens the reader to let go of shames and shoulds with The Beloved and entices you to step up to the dance floor of your life and ask The Divine for a whirl.“

“Susceptible to Light… is mystical and ecstatic in nature… (it) is here to remind you of your joy, to assist you in reconsidering ways of relating to your life that better serve and open your heart; to deconstruct anything about God that doesn’t feel close, intimate, authentic, and warm; and to remind your soul to break the surface and take a breath.”

If you would like to learn more about Chelan you can visit her website ChelanHarkin.com. You can also find her on social media on Instagram (@chelanharkin) and on Facebook (Chelan Harkin Poetry). If you would like to purchase her books you can do so through Amazon Smile here.

Participants came together to discuss the Stan Davis satsang that was held on August 21.

The purpose of this Sangha is to share what was most impactful, hear from others about what they took away, and deepen into the teaching from the previous day’s Satsang.

Stan Davis, a former newspaper publisher, serves as the Spiritual and Executive Director of AHAM – the Association of Happiness for All Mankind. For more information on the offerings of AHAM, you can visit their website: https://www.aham.com/

Stan Davis was interviewed by Rev. Karen Worth on August 21, 2022 as part of the Awakening Together Monthly Satsang series.

Stan Davis, a former newspaper publisher, serves as the Spiritual and Executive Director of AHAM -the Association of Happiness for All Mankind. He is also an experienced and certified Self-Inquiry (meditation) instructor and trainer with the AHAM, which owns and operates a wooded 40-acre meditation retreat and spiritual training center in Asheboro, NC, and a beautiful center in South India. AHAM shares a unique, yet simple and very effective conscious transformational meditation process of awakening called “Self-Inquiry,” sometimes referred to as Awareness Meditation or the “meditation for anyone…anytime…and anyplace.”  He studied and practiced under the personal guidance of AHAM’s founder, an Awakened or Self-realized Teacher. During this time, Stan himself has realized Self-Inquiry as the way to directly and instantly connect with and express from Pure Awareness, I AM or the Source of Being, prior to the ego or body-mind. He now shares this process of real and lasting peace, well-being and fulfillment with those who are ready to receive it, which then becomes their own experience.

Stan has also given talks and seminars at many Unity and Religious Science churches and other organizations on well over 100 occasions here in the USA and Canada.

AHAM, an acronym for the Association of Happiness for All Mankind, is a non-profit spiritual education/meditation training organization.  AHAM’s purpose is the elimination of upset and suffering by the uplifting of consciousness, and the realization of happiness-now or fulfillment lived now as the natural state of Being.

For more information on the offerings of AHAM, you can visit their website: aham.com.

Cay Villars was interviewed by Laura Joy Bedford in the Awakening Together online sanctuary.

Cay is a mystic in full devotion to following the Voice of Jesus in the continual celebration of inner Light. Some call this Enlightenment or Union with God. She is called the “laughing mystic” for the joy and sense of humor expressed in Satsang/Joining in Light Sessions.

She began hearing a Voice while volunteering as a behavioral change coach in prisons for men and women in Wisconsin. While studying A Course in Miracles (ACIM) she experienced mystical visions in which Jesus appeared. In the first vision, he gave her the blue Joining in Light image, a symbol of the healing power of joining to quickly release upsets and thus celebrate shared Light within. Jesus taught her to hear and follow His Voice through assignments in India, Portugal, Europe, Mexico, Bali, and Jerusalem.

Her “storyline in the world” included executive coaching, management, marketing, intuitive healer, and scientist, which led to the realization that there is no storyline of more value than the happiness of Divine Being in celebration of all the Love there is.

The symbols of Joining in Light in the form of Light Circles and Jesus: A New Covenant ACIM, a message to ACIM Students JANC ACIM) were extended to Cay in mystical visions and conversations with Jesus–the Voice for God. Yet this is only a reminder that this Voice is available to everyone as everyone is Light, the Light of Love within. JANC ACIM is a message of encouragement to all ACIM students and students of non-duality that Jesus is available to directly support them fully in their path to Enlightenment.

A PDF of JANC ACIM is offered freely on the Joininginlight.net website.  A beautiful full-color printed text is now available on Amazon.

Cay extends Jesus’ teachings that everyone can hear and follow Jesus/the Voice for God as a means to Enlightenment, the complete undoing of the ego to transcend all pain, illness, and suffering of the world. This is the joy and peace that surpasses understanding.

She is Director for the Joining in Light Silent Devotional Center.  The Center is a 501c3 nonprofit devoted to the mystical teachings of Jesus for the release of hidden desires for pain and suffering.  The Center offers daily zoom joining sessions, a phone app, online programs, and in residency Light training programs hearing the Voice for God and quickly releasing hidden subconscious desires to deny Divinity.

Reverend Deborah L. Johnson was interviewed by Rev. Jackie Walden live in the Awakening Together sanctuary on Sunday February 20, 2022.
Rev. Deb shares insight on forgiveness, grief, social justice, gratitude and saying YES. She reminds us that what the world needs most is for us to be awake.

Rev. Deborah is the founding minister and president of Inner Light Ministries and The Motivational Institute.

A life-long social justice activist, Rev. Deborah is the successful co-litigant in two landmark cases in California – one set precedent for the inclusion of sexual orientation in the state’s Civil Rights Bill, the other defeated the challenge to legalizing domestic partnerships.  A voice for compassion, equality, and reconciliation, her primary focus has been on coalition building, conflict resolution, public policy development, and cultural sensitivity awareness. She holds a vision of Oneness, beyond creed and doctrine, and feels particularly called to heal the sense of separation between those adhering to conservative and progressive ideologies.

Her groundbreaking work has been featured in numerous books, magazines, radio, and television programs including Conversations with Neale (Neale Donald Walsch) radio show, Shambhala Sun magazine, Showtime TV’s Black Filmmaker Showcase production, Jumpin’ the Broom, the film God and Gays: Bridging the Gap, and ABC Nightline. Rev. Deborah is the author of The Sacred Yes and Your Deepest Intent of the Letters from the Infinite series, as well as Living the Sacred Yes: Affirmations for Action.  She is also co-writer of several songs on Singing the Sacred Yes by Valerie Joi. Wherever she goes, her message is always one of possibility, inclusion, empowerment, and transformation.

As an advocate for continual and lifelong learning, Rev. Deborah is a faculty member at several institutes of higher learning: UCLA’s Anderson Graduate School of Business Executive Leadership Diversity Training Institute; Pacific School of Religion; Holmes Institute of Consciousness Studies; and the Agape University of Transformational Studies and Leadership. She is also an Advisory Council member in the Women’s Studies Department at Brandeis University.

Liz is a spiritual teacher, life coach, and writer, most notably of The Plain Language A Course in Miracles and 4 Habits for Inner Peace. Liz enjoys working one-on-one with students of A Course in Miracles and other nondualistic paths to help them access their inner peace. She emphasizes a direct relationship with Spirit as the way to do this.

In 2018, Liz experienced a moment she calls The Break when existence as she knew it fell away, taking with it the life she had been living. Since that moment, she considers herself to be in an awakened dream. The spirit-centered life she led before, as well as this dramatic shift, are detailed in A Memoir of Christ: A Student of A Course in Miracles Awakens.
