Who were you prior to the dawn of
your individuated consciousness as an infant? Is this same Self present,
here and now? What is it to consciously know this most essential Self
and to live this very knowing?
This weekend gives opportunity to put down familiar concerns,
conclusions, and habits of mind in order to nurture the very heart of
your being -- free of all definitions. Mukti will offer talks, satsang
(a question and answer format to explore our most essential nature and
that of all of reality), and several periods of meditation -- a powerful
recipe for nurturing the revelation of Consciousness.
Apart from Mukti's talks and the satsang dialogues, this retreat will be
held in silence. Both satsang and meditation are suited to penetrating
heartfelt questions and, along with shared intention, create a
synergistic combination for Self remembrance.
The schedule will include some time to enjoy the beautiful setting, surrounding hiking trails, and nooks for silent sitting.
MUKTI, whose name means “liberation,” is a teacher in the lineage of Adyashanti, her husband. Together they founded Open Gate Sangha in the California Bay Area in 1996 to cultivate the awakening of consciousness in those who yearn for truth, peace, and freedom. Mukti has been greatly influenced by her background in Christianity, Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, and Chinese medicine, and draws from those roots to point audiences back to the natural state of wholeness or undivided consciousness. Licensed in acupuncture and certified to teach hatha yoga, Mukti has a love of the whole, both form and formless.
