How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

        - ANNE FRANK

Welcome to awakeningsinstitute.org. 


Awakenings Institute is an emerging worldwide spiritual community devoted to creating supportive local and global communities and a global healing presence for individuals who are opening to the full expression of their true divine selves in all aspects of their lives. Its holistic approach is the way of the future, integrating the body, emotions, mind, and spirit. 

Awakenings was born with this dream:

Imagine a world where love is the guiding force, where the unique gifts that each individual brings receive honor and respect, where all are nurtured in allowing their gifts to blossom, to manifest the joy of living in each moment...

Imagine a world where all of nature is also honored, so all may live in harmony and share an increasingly vibrant and beautiful environment...

What we imagine we can create, starting in this moment. This vibrant world will come into being as each of us empowers ourselves to live the dream now and share it with others. Playing a part in the creation of this dream is the mission of Awakenings.  


If you feel drawn to being part of Awakenings' global community and participating in the evolution of this emerging organization, we welcome your involvement and suggestions. 

CURRENT AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Awakenings Institute is in the developmental stage of its evolution as a new form of spiritual/religious expression. We are currently conducting and planning the following offerings:

CURRENT FOCUSES

Membership: Awakenings is now offering membership to individuals who want to be part of its worldwide spiritual community. As the organization evolves, members will be kept informed about opportunities to participate.

Ordination Program: Awakenings ordains individuals into its ministry who are drawn to fulfilling a spiritual mission as part of Awakenings Institute. The goal is to create a strong foundation of ordained ministers involved in diverse forms of holistic healing and spiritual growth, upon which Awakenings' worldwide spiritual community can grow and evolve.

  • For ordained members and those in the Ordination Program, Awakenings also has an annual renewal retreat to come together and explore our possibilities. The first Spiritual Renewal Retreat was held in April, 2006 and the tradition will continue in 2007.

  • Already a minister ordained by another organization?  If you are interested in being a minister with Awakenings Institute, we have expedited ordainment depending on your experience. Contact us for details.

E-mail Newsletter: Awakenings free monthly e-news is now available, providing articles of interest authored by its ordained ministers and members and updates on activities

CURRENT AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Website: This is Awakenings' new website. In time, the website plans to have:

  • A wealth of information of interest to likeminded individuals worldwide.

  • A list of ministers, local gatherings, counseling and healing services, courses, and so on.

  • A members only section with information for committed members.

  • A ministers only section with information related to developing a ministry.

Supportive Local Spiritual Communities: Awakenings has started to have spiritual gatherings in the San Luis Obispo area and hope to have gatherings in other areas in 2007 to create more supportive local spiritual communities.

Spiritual Counseling and Holistic Healing Services: As ministers are ordained, Awakenings will offer a variety of counseling and healing services, to members and other interested individuals worldwide.

Books, E-books, CDs, and DVDs: Awakenings currently shares its teachings through publications by Drs. Phillip and Jane Mountrose. You can find out more about them at gettingthru.org/holistic.htm. 

We envision the availability of publication as expanding as more ordained ministers step forward and add to the publications that are currently available.

Supportive Worldwide Spiritual Community: Through conferences, webcasts, and teleconferences, we plan to have opportunities to bring members from around the globe together. We envision this occurring a ways down the road, when we have members to participate. 

Presence in Society: As Awakenings grows and evolves, we are creating a more tangible presence in Society and a path to a new, life-affirming way of being -- in effect, making the world a better place.
