Awakenings Ministries
The Ordination Program
Awakenings Institute is a
nonprofit religious organization in the initial stages of creating a
collaborative worldwide spiritual community. Awakenings
is dedicated to providing a new path and presence in which likeminded
holistically oriented individuals can pursue their spiritual callings.
Through ordination of
qualified individuals who are prepared to pursue their spiritual missions,
Awakenings is actively pursuing its goal of creating this worldwide
spiritual community. We are seeking to unite dedicated people from
throughout the US and around the world in a spirit of openness and
acceptance. Bringing together individuals with diverse backgrounds
enriches the organization in its spirit of honoring the higher truths that
unite us all.
Since Awakenings started
ordinations in early 2006, responses have exceeded our expectations as a
number of wonderfully sincere, gifted individuals have stepped forward to
become ordained members. We look forward to connecting with many more
likeminded spirits in the coming months and years.

AWAKENINGS'
MISSION
Awakenings' mission centers on
three soulful themes that weave their ways through the collective awareness of
growing numbers of individuals who are being drawn to callings in service of
humanity. These themes include:
- Realizing that each of us has access to higher
truth within ourselves and wanting to help those who seek our support in
accessing this divine wisdom.
- Recognizing that we are collectively on a path
to wholeness that can be nurtured and accelerated through the integrated
awakening of the body, emotions, mind, and spirit.
Currently, people like ourselves
exist as
Islands
of consciousness scattered over the landscape. Many of us do not feel that
forms of our society have a place for us, but it is time to reconsider. We have
the opportunity to move beyond complaining and reacting. Together, we can create
in a positive direction. The United States, which was created on the foundation
of religious freedom, allows us to freely express and practice our
spiritual/religious beliefs and Awakenings was created to provide a spiritual
community for the Islands of consciousness that are seeking a form for the
realization of their true divine purposes.
MAKING POSITIVE CHANGES
With
the creation of a new path and a place of belonging, together we can make
positive changes in the world. Awakenings invites you to join us. Each of us can
participate in the invention of this new religious structure, develop a tangible
presence within our society, and bring the dream into being. We have much to
offer individually and there is much that we can gain from each other. It is
time for us to reclaim our religious freedoms, create a substantial place for
ourselves in our world, and reach out to people who are waking up worldwide.
As Christopher Reeve stated,
“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable,
and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.”
Ordination with
Awakenings provides a unique
opportunity for spiritual practitioners who are want to use their skills in
service to others locally and, potentially, as part of our worldwide spiritual
community. As an ordained minister, you can realize your spiritual mission with
all of the blessings provided to all ordained persons in the United States,
including:
- The use of holistic practices that create
wholeness and balance
- Serving others through teaching
- Performing weddings and other
appropriate ceremonies
- Practicing your spiritual/
religious beliefs with all of the freedoms available with the separation of
church and state
- Operating as a ministry in a
legal non-profit religious organization
Spiritually
and holistically oriented programs you have already taken from a variety
of sources may qualify you for admission into the Ordination Program.
These courses do not have to be directly from Awakenings Institute. This
includes programs focusing on spiritual counseling, Reiki and other forms
of energy healing, hypnotherapy, holistic healing and holistic health
practices, meridian-based approaches, and much more. Please feel free to
contact Awakenings to discuss your qualifications and program requirements
if you have any questions as you review this information.
Ordination
requires a total of 500 hours of relevant training. Awakenings Ordination
Program itself qualifies for 40 of these hours and up to 50 hours of
volunteer time with Awakenings may also be included in the required hours.
In the
attitude of silence, the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what
is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.
