The Way of the Tao
“The Tao is the living spirit of the Void, the potent Womb of Emptiness that births a creation, imbued with organic intelligence. This intelligence is ever-reshaping and changing creation in response to its conditions. . . .”

Tao: Mother of the Ten Thousand Things
“I like to watch small things, insignificant things to most people. The way that water always takes the course of least resistance when flowing down the small mountain . . .”

| On retreat, I encourage all participants to fearlessly inquire down to the very root of self and the illusion of separation so that the light of awakening can penetrate throughout the whole of one’s being. I encourage you to enter into the spirit of retreat, into a wholehearted commitment to eternal truth here and now. ~ Adyashanti | |

Four-Week Online Live Talk Series with Mukti Coming in June!
The Energetics of Awakening:
Exploring the Interplay of Consciousness and Energy
Dates: June 1, 8, 15 & 22
All who walk the earth experience a fundamental link between consciousness and energy. This link is undeniable and worth understanding and engaging. Energetics shift and shape, whether one’s state of consciousness expresses identification and contraction, release and liberation, gathered power and intent, transmission or cessation.
In this four-week online series, we will explore the energetics of different states of consciousness. Such states present uniquely in the body, physically and energetically.
Mukti will discuss how practices, including meditation, self-inquiry and qi gong, can help support the body, and facilitate awakening, embodiment, and a unifying of one’s spirituality and humanity.
More information about this Live Talk Series and registration will be coming in May.
