What Does It Mean to Enter the Sanctuary of Awakening?
The Sanctuary of Awakening is more than a gathering—it’s a place to engage in spiritual practice, to cultivate a state of being, and a way of living. To enter this sanctuary means:
☀ Recognizing and honoring the sacredness of each other and every moment.
☀ Resting in the refuge of your true Self beyond thought, beyond the stories of the mind.
☀ Anchoring yourself in awareness—the unchanging presence that knows and accepts all that arises.
☀ Cultivating a consciousness of unity, where division and separation dissolve into love and wholeness
This Sanctuary is a place to remember who you are, strengthen your inner light, and radiate that light into the world. It is a space for us to come together for shared spiritual practice intention to live as emissaries of love and awakened awareness.

How To Participate During The Meetings:
Shared Agreements
Time Awareness
There will be a brief time for sharing at the end of each meeting. We ask everyone to be mindful of time to keep your sharing concise (e.g., 2–3 minutes) to allow space for others.
Respect for Silence
Allow a few seconds of silence between sharings to honor what has been shared before the next person speaks.
Speak from the Heart
Share your personal experiences, insights, and feelings authentically, using “I” statements to reflect your truth. This ensures the space remains personal and grounded.
Listen with Presence
Offer your full attention to each speaker without interrupting or formulating your response while they’re speaking. Listening deeply is an act of love and respect.
Self-Responsibility
Participate in a way that feels right for you. You are welcome to share, but there is no obligation to speak. Simply being present is a gift to the group.
Facilitators Role
To help ensure the agreements are honored, Georgette will gently guide the group as needed.
No Cross-Talk or Advice
This is a space for sharing, not for giving advice or responding directly to others’ sharings unless they explicitly invite input.
Confidentiality
What is shared in this group stays within the group. This agreement creates a safe container for openness and vulnerability.
Compassionate Boundaries
If you find yourself speaking longer than intended, gently bring your sharing to a close to honor the time and space for others. If the facilitator gently reminds you, please receive it with kindness.
Inclusivity and Non-Judgment
This is a space where all voices are welcome and respected. All parts of ourselves, whatever is present in the moment within the sanctuary are welcome. Please hold an open, non-judgmental attitude toward ourself and others.

Awakening Manifesto
We gather here in the Sanctuary of Awakening, a space beyond walls, beyond time, and beyond separation. We come together in shared presence, remembering the Divine as the creative impulse shining within us all. As we step into this sacred field of community practice, we affirm these guiding principles:
We Are Sanctuary: We invoke and embody a refuge of peace, compassion, and presence. Here, we can rest, renew, and remember our true nature.
We Honor the Awakening Process unfolding for each of us at our own perfect pace. Like the seed growing into a flower, the drop becoming the ocean, or the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, we trust the natural rhythm of our being and becoming
We Cultivate Stillness and Awareness and practice being the witness—the silent, spacious awareness in which all experience arises and dissolves. We hold space for ourselves and each other with deep presence, without rushing, fixing, or forcing change.
We Embrace the Full Spectrum of all experiences—joy and sorrow, clarity and confusion, expansion and contraction—all welcomed as part of the sacred dance of life. We acknowledge the divine in all that arises.
We Release Judgment and Comparison There is no hierarchy in awakening. No one is ahead or behind. We release the mind’s tendency to compare, knowing that each journey is unique and each step is equally sacred.
We Are Here to Listen and Be Heard We speak from our deepest truth and listen with an open heart. We honor each voice as a reflection of the whole and practice sharing in a way that ensure all who wish to express are given space to do so.
We Cultivate Loving Awareness in Action Beyond these gatherings, we integrate our awakenings into daily life. We set the intention to embody presence, love, and wisdom in interactions with ourselves, others, and the world.
We Trust the Mystery Awakening is not something to achieve or grasp—it is a return to what has always been. We surrender to the unknown, allowing life to reveal itself moment by moment.
And finally, we dedicate Our Practice to the Benefit of All Beings As we awaken, we do not awaken alone. The light we cultivate here extends beyond us, rippling outward to all. We dedicate this practice to the liberation and flourishing of all beings, seen and unseen.
May our gatherings serve as a reminder of our shared journey, a mirror reflecting the infinite light that we are.
May we walk this path together, with reverence, humility, and gratitude.
