Book Study Club – Suggested Outline for Sunny Dawn Johnston’s Invoking the Archangels
Week 1: Intro, Section 1 & 2 – Hand out “How Do I Connect with the Archangels” exercise, discuss the exercise and how to call in the angels and work with them
(For those that register beforehand, have them read the first 2 sections prior to the start of the book club. This allows the focus to be more about sharing perspectives from everyone’s reading rather than teaching the content of the book. It also gives people time to absorb the information being offered ahead of time. Each week, the class will focus on reflecting on what has already been read by the attendees.)
*Energetic Vibrational Scale
- Discuss the various vibrations of the energetic scale (give examples of each area)
*Four Step Process to Connect with the Archangels
- Discuss the importance of each of the four steps in connecting with the Archangels
- Review the belief that assistance from the angelic realm must be invoked due to free will
- How does each step in the process to connect with Archangels feel to you??
- Which step feels the most challenging for you and why?
*Color Exercise
- Notice the color you are wearing right now
- Does it match your vibration?
- Does the color feel in alignment with where you are; or are you wearing it to raise your vibration?
- Notice any awareness you may have surrounding that color throughout your day
- Are you noticing the effect of that color in different ways throughout your day?
- How does it feel for you to wear that particular color? Does it make you happy, overwhelmed, or depressed?
- Do you enjoy wearing that color?
- Did you choose to wear that color for a specific reason on this particular day?
Week 2: Section 3 – Cover Archangel Michael, Jophiel, Chamuel & Gabriel
Highlight areas that open discussion or points that are of HIGH interest regarding these first 4 Archangels.
A question that you could ask for each Angel is: “Have you noticed that at different times you are more aware of wearing certain colors? And can you see now, with this new understanding, that you were pulling in that vibrational energy?”
*Review Each Archangel
- Which of the 4 Archangels you just read about feels in alignment for you in regards to the love and support you need?
- What tools are you using to pull in that Archangel’s energy? (Stones, crystals, visualization, etc.)
- Have you noticed that at different times in your life your “favorite color” has changed?
- Do you feel like you were pulling in that particular color for that particular Archangel due to needing their assistance on a subconscious level?
Week 3: Section 3; – Cover Archangel Raphael, Uriel, & Zadkiel
Highlight areas that open discussion or points that are of HIGH interest regarding these last 3 Archangels.
Discuss experiences that may have occurred while connecting with any of the Archangels.
After reading how they assisted Sunny in her life, ask people to share if they have perhaps had experiences with each Archangel in their own life. Did you feel that angelic presence and not know, or did you have the understanding of the support being offered? (This is where honoring a time limit on the sharing from each attendee is a must!!! Really focusing on the Value of the Experience, just as Sunny described following each of her anecdotes, would be important to emphasize in regards to each Archangel.)

*Review each of the Nine Steps
- Choose a particular area in your life you would like to work on and use the 9-step process to journal about your insights.
- What did you become aware of as you were reflecting on each step? (Reflection is the growth process of our Spirit through each experience.)
- As you were reflecting, which Archangel did you choose to call upon as you were working through each of the 9 steps?
- What are you in need of from the Archangels to help you grow?
Week 9: Section 5, Addiction & Career – Ask people if they could relate to how the steps can be applied to Addiction or Career issues. Can they identify if there were times when they were going through challenges in these areas and how they see a similar process in their experiences? (This may be a tough area to keep participants on track as many people love to tell their stories J, so again, stress having a limited amount of time to share their overview.)
Week 10: Section 5, Relationships & Health and Client’s Experiences – Ask people if they could relate to how the steps can be applied to Relationship or Health issues. Can they identify if there were times when they were going through challenges in these areas and how they see a similar process in their experiences?

*Client’s Experiences
- As you were reading through each of Sunny’s client’s experiences, can you indentify with any of them?
- Could you identify which Archangel was best suited for each experience?
- Did their experiences help you understand your own healing process?
Week 11: Worksheet to do their own 9-Step Process in class - Have participants discuss insights they have discovered following completion of their 9-Step Worksheet in class
(Keeping people engaged in a “discussion” is what is important. This is different than teaching the material being presented. Having an outline of questions to fall back on to stimulate a discussion is great, even if you don’t end up using them. It is a little more personal to use your own experiences as an example. Encourage participants to really look for the steps in their own life. It is most meaningful when others can apply the concepts through their own personal level of discovery.
Week 12: Section 6 & 7 – Do one of the Guided Angel Meditations in class, discuss any of the Angelic Experiences of interest from Section 7 and hand out some of the Affirmations from the Invoking the Archangels Workbook in class. (This can be a night of completion to bring it all home with a mediation and then allow the remaining time for people to share what they experienced in the last twelve weeks.)
Ask what the most important awareness is that each person is walking away with from attending this group.
*Meditation
- What did you experience during your guided mediation?
- Did you see, feel or sense one or more colors?
- Does that color and Archangel feel in alignment for where you are today?
