Congratulations to our New Trustees: Anne Blanchard and Rhoda Makled. We are thrilled to welcome Anne back to the board of Trustees and to have Rhoda join us for her first term. Both of these amazing women tirelessly contribute their talents to Awakening Together and they will be valued members of the board responsible for the day-to-day operations of Awakening Together. Thank you to all the members who voted in the Member Board of Trustee Election. Your vote matters!
Anne Blanchard
Anne grew up in a family where EST training was a part of daily life. Many years later, in 2016, she began attending the Center for Conscious Living in Moorestown, New Jersey, where she refamiliarized herself with various New Thought and nondual teachings. Anne jumped with both feet into sincere and dedicated full-time spiritual practice when she joined Awakening Together on an India Pilgrimage in 2017.
Anne teaches regularly in the Awakening Together Sanctuary. In her weekly program, Unfiltered, Anne shares her experience of purification and awakening, unfiltered and as it happens. Raw, reflective, brave, and infused with clarity, Anne’s open honesty inspires us all to dive deep into the spiritual journey instead of simply skimming the surface. Anne also facilitates a weekly Freedom Practice Sangha discussion group and leads morning awareness-based meditations. Anne was elected to the Member Board of Trustees in August 2018.
Rhoda Makled
Rhoda Makled followed the traditional path of the American dream. She worked hard, got married, had a family, bought a house, got divorced, ended her career and started over. By following the American dream, she found that she was also an expert in human suffering. Watching the world search for meaning and using “stuff” to fill the void. Then came the second act.
