A Revolution of Being 2020 ~ Revisited
Two-Month Self-Guided Retreat
We are excited to offer A Revolution of Being 2020 ~ Revisited. Whether or not you participated in this two-month retreat with Adyashanti before, this self-guided retreat is a chance to:

|
- Watch video sessions of Adyashanti transmitting his timeless teachings.
- Gain insights and more deeply embody them in your everyday life.

- Share with other participants how retreat impacts you through Impact Reports.

“For true transformation to occur within oneself, and within humanity as a whole, there must be an inner revolution. Such a revolution is not static; it’s alive, ongoing, and continuous. It requires an emptying out of the old structures of consciousness and the birth of a living and fluid intelligence.” ~ Adyashanti

Sunday Community Practice
Sunday Community Practice is an ongoing program that focuses on spiritual practice and how it can be lived in daily life. If you would like to practice meditation on a consistent basis, along with others who are dedicated to making enlightened living a priority in their lives, please join us on Sunday mornings.
Try out a single session or join as a monthly subscriber. Each practice is two hours and includes a guided meditation and a talk. Mukti will be leading these twice-a-month practices while Adyashanti is on sabbatical.
