Maryann Locaparra interviews Rev. Rhonda Schienle - "Using our Experiences to Help Others"

Welcome InterFaith Clergy and Spiritual Care Professionals

World Awake is an international inter-collaborative organization of ordained interfaith/interspiritual clergy, spiritual care professionals, respective students, business associates, communities and congregations. In the words of World Awake’s founder Carla Ivison, “We are building bridges to a peaceful world community.”

We see InterFaith InterSpiritual Clergy and Spiritual Care Professionals and those who support them as positive contributors to the shift in consciousness and spiritual connections globally. World Awake supports and connects those who heal and work for peace.

Neither InterFaith nor InterSpirituality are religions. They walk among the religions.

“InterFaith begins when we create a bridge between one set of beliefs and traditions and another. We begin by listening to one another, and to the humanity in all of us. InterFaith emphasizes the universal principles and spiritual compassion taught by all schools of divinity and ethics. Each religion is an instrument for the divine, and together the world’s religions form a glorious symphony. Interfaith is the acceptance and celebration of humankind in all its magnificent faiths, colors, cultures, and traditions. It is the acknowledgment that there is but one light that burns brightly through each faith and within each heart. In its essence, this light is love.” (Rev. Susanna S. Macomb, Joining Hands and Hearts, Simon & Schuster 2003)

To quote Rabbi Joseph Gelberman, founder of two InterFaith seminaries, “Never instead of, always in addition to…”

The term InterSpirituality was coined by Brother Wayne Teasdale in his book The Mystic Heart (New World Library, 1999). InterSpirituality emphasizes the mystical spiritual experience that is available through various sacred practices around the world. When one has a direct experience of the Divine, one’s inner life awakens and a personal transformation occurs where love and peace flow out to the world in engaged service. In this holy state there is a profound knowing that we are all connected, and God by whatever name (or no name) is One.

There is an extraordinary shift in consciousness occurring on the planet. We invite you to connect with us in love, service and joy.

Welcome World Yoga Community to our InterWorship forum.

Instructor: Rev. Dr. Stephanie Rutt
Meetings: 12 Sunday Meetings
Dates: January 19th, 2020 through April 5th, 2020
Time: 2:30 PM - 4:30 pm EST
Format: On Site
Audience: All are welcome
Description: Come and walk in the footsteps of Jesus and experience the full embodiment of the Christ. Using my book, Living the Prayer of Jesus: A Study of the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, you will learn and chant a line of the prayer each week in Aramaic, embody the line in simple circle movements, and reflect upon the expanded meanings through the lens of the Aramaic language. You'll be encouraged to take the prayer, line by line, into a daily practice in order to experience the full impact and transformational essence of the Aramaic language itself. By the end of the course, you'll be able to recite the prayer in Aramaic and, as a culminating activity of the study, be invited to write your own version of the prayer reflective of the deeper meanings and as a result of having chanted the prayer in Aramaic in daily practice. Disclaimer! This study will not leave you where you began! As a lovely nun said to me after just a day-long workshop on the prayer in Aramaic, "I've been saying this prayer everyday for over 35 years. I will never say it in the same way again." Ummmmmmm…

Instructor: Rev. Dr. Stephanie Rutt
Meetings: 12 Thursday Meetings
Dates: January 30th, 2020 through May 16th, 2020
Time: All day
Format: On Site
Audience: All are welcomed
Description: At the heart of our yearning, our Beloved waits to join us in mystical unity. In this class, we'll explore the "how to," concrete processes, for creating the conditions to invite what grace may reveal—those sweet, unforeseen, moments of mystical unity with our Beloved—those moments that leave us, still, silent, not where we began. The culmination will be the revised and updated edition of the current Doorway to the Sacred: Transform Your Life with Mantra Prayer, under new title, Lovers in the Wilderness: Discover Your Path to Mystical Unity with Mantra Prayer, due to my publisher in June. Each week, we'll reference sections from Doorway to the Sacred and explore the new excerpts and sections I'm including. Along the way, you'll be invited to share your own stories and be invited to include them in the final draft should you be so inclined. This is a key element of our study: to engage and describe, through the sharing of our unique stories, how our ordinary life experiences have revealed to us—the Holy.
*For those of you who've read The Call of the Mourning Dove: How Sacred Sound Awakens Mystical Unity, this new book could be seen as the "how to" companion as we bring the Sonic Trilogy of Life into our daily walk with the divine.
Please visit our Education page for more details.

Instructor: Rev. Susanna Stefanachi Macomb
Meetings: One on one session
Date: By Appointment from February 1st, 2020 through March 31st, 2020
Time: One Hour
Format: On Demand
Audience: World Wide
Description: One on One Energy Attunement Sessions for Healing, Transformation and Manifestation

In a gentle and compassionate atmosphere, we attune to your energy body. Attuned to your energy, I guide you every step of the way. We begin with a prayer invocation that the session be for your deepest and greatest good. We ask that we become pure vessels of the Divine. Your intentions are then made to the Universe. Your Soul, the part of you that is One with Source, leads the way. Energy blocks and congestions will reveal themselves. These blocks may be the result of trauma, fear, unproductive emotional or mental blocks. Your Soul brings them up to be acknowledged and cleared. Physical ailments need to be addressed by medical professionals. However, there is a spiritual component of disease that can be released energetically. Once your energy is flowing unobstructed, you become a shaft of light --- your true self. From this place, vibrancy, creativity and love flow freely. From this place we align to new more productive energy patterns --- more nurturing relationships, more fulfilling work, a more peaceful existence, greater health. As you raise your spiritual vibration you come more fully into the path of your being. A commitment to living life from who you really are creates the life that is authentically you, the life you are meant to live. Mystical experiences and ascension to higher dimensions of consciousness may occur.

Rev. Susanna Stefanachi Macomb has been teaching meditation and guiding energy sessions for 35 years. She serves as a bridge in times of change, loss, grief and illness. She has been instrumental in helping others experience mystical levels of consciousness. It is this inner work that led her to leave our corporate life thus transforming her life. She also credits this attunement in guiding her to create her own medical protocol to complete healing of Crohn's Disease and Cancer --- and transforming sickness into blessing.

Needed: All you need is a cell phone and earphones! I ask that you lay down in a comfortable quiet place in your home with your eyes closed, and I will do the same. We will speak first so that your intentions are best served. My cell number is 917-856-0422. My email is revsusannamacomb@gmail.com Feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.

Instructor: Rev. Dr. Stephanie Rutt
Meetings: 8 1st and 3rd Monday Meetings
Dates: February 3rd, 2020 through May 18th, 2020
Time: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Format: On Site
Audience: All are welcomed
Description: In this class, we will journey on the Shaman's Drum to make contact with archetypes within representing our blessed Spirit Animal Helpers and Spirit Guides. Similar to dream work, Shamanic journeying has been called "conscious" dreaming. In the Shamanic practice of engaging the ecstatic body postures, we will embody ancient hieroglyphics to discover how they may inform our lives today. Shamanic practice awakens us to our unity with all of life – both the life we know through our senses as well as the life just beyond the veil. It is a profound practice, beautiful beyond measure.
We will engage the Shamanic practice as handed down through the lineage of Michael Harner and Sandra Ingerman. For the ecstatic postures, we will draw on the work of anthropologist Felicitas Goodman that was later documented for practice by long-time student Belinda Gore.

Required reading – especially if you are new to Shamanic journeying:
Shamanic Journeying: A Beginner's Guide by Sandra Ingerman
Ecstatic Body Posture: An Alternative Reality Workbook by Belinda Gore
