A Message From Adyashanti

A Message From Adyashanti

As some of you know I have been dealing with extreme physical pain for nearly 20 years. I am happy to say that, in the last year or so, the pain issue has finally been resolved. However, dealing with such an extremely difficult issue over such a long period of time, while also traveling and teaching, has left me both physically and emotionally exhausted. And although I had truly felt like I was up to doing this retreat when we planned it, as the beginning of the retreat approached it became obvious to me that, in fact, I very much need a break and time away from teaching in order to recoup and recover from so many years of great challenge.

My heart so wanted to be with you for this A Revolution of Being retreat, and to support you as you dive deeply into your spiritual practice and the “one heart” that we all share. Please know that cancelling this retreat at this late date is the very last thing I want to do, but it is simply not possible for me to “push through” yet another long event when I am in such obvious need of time to heal and recover.

My hope is that through our practice and insight we will nonetheless remain connected in the “one heart” and “one mind” that flows and expresses itself through, and as, each one of us. I send you all great love, peace, and happiness.

Blessings,
Adyashanti

Mukti’s Invitation to Retreat

Schedule

The program schedule was developed by Mukti and Adyashanti and reflects their experience of what supports spiritual awakening. The deep silence of meditation, coupled with the focused inquiry of the talks and dialogues, are the ground and seed from which awakening flowers. The retreat structure is especially significant. Setting aside several days to be free of your usual schedules, routines, and obligations, is the best way to listen deeply and open to your natural condition that expresses as vitality, peace, and freedom.

FULL PROGRAM SCHEDULE

About Silence

While this program was designed to support those wishing to participate in full silence, we understand this may not always be possible. Complete silence is neither required, nor necessary, to obtain the benefits inherent in immersing yourself in introspection and inquiry for a dedicated period of time. Also, the proposed program schedule can be adapted to fit your availability.

Alternative Time Zone Considerations

This retreat will be held in the Pacific Time Zone (PT) but is accessible to everyone. Video replays will be available for 30 days after the retreat.

For those in later U.S. time zones, we recommend you adapt the program schedule by shifting the late-night meditations to the mornings.

For those in more distant time zones, you may contact us for an additional option, which includes faster replays.

Encounter the power of your deepest self in a retreat format honed over nearly three decades . . .

  • Ground in the peace and clarity of meditation.
  • Engage your innermost spiritual questions.
  • Discover the energetic unfolding of awakening.

This three-day program is designed to mirror the experience of our in-person residential retreats. It includes daily talks and Q&A sessions with Mukti, along with periods of guided and silent meditation, and qi gong sessions.

The structure and schedule for silent retreat, developed by Adyashanti and Mukti over many years of teaching, create an environment that allows participants to experience the depth of silence. Time together in retreat helps to cultivate awareness, reflection, and embodiment of the truth of who we are and how that unfolds in our lives. Retreat is a time of one-pointed inquiry, a commitment to questioning our most cherished ideas and beliefs.

In addition to joining Mukti for her meditations, talks, and Q&A sessions, participants can also join Adyashanti in the Virtual Meditation Hall for the afternoon meditations. These afternoon sessions especially contribute to a feeling of being supported by a larger group of retreatants who share like-minded intentions.

The Experience of Retreat with Mukti

Sharing retreat with Mukti is an opportunity to be supported by her nurturing and welcoming qualities and her deep transmission of stillness. Her teachings focus on creating conditions that foster the organic unfolding of conscious awareness where energies that arise can be met, allowed, and transformed. Encouraged by her deep respect for each person’s expression as human and divine, her retreatants have formed new and beautiful relationships to thoughts, feelings, and emotions, as well as a deeper receptivity to spirit.

Mukti was Adya’s first student, so she brings a special perspective to her retreats! Stories of her journey of Self-realization are invaluable and bring a fresh take on many of Adya’s pointers. Her unique approach to spiritual unfolding is infused with kindness, practical wisdom, and a keen sense of the territory and energetics of awakening and embodiment.
