Curriculum:
The immersion and extended stay programs are guided and overseen by Shunyamurti and taught by Radha Ma, the Gyana Director and the head of the immersion teaching team.
The Sat Yoga path leads to an accurate understanding of all levels of consciousness: it is a path that requires (and develops) the willingness and ability to think clearly and deeply, the courage to face painful issues, and the perseverance to transform and reach ever higher levels of spiritual potential. This deepening process of self-understanding, and of understanding reality as a whole, is cultivated through daily classes, study groups, reading assignments, creative classes and activities, and individual transformational sessions.
