A sacred ashram retreat

Whether you are an experienced yogi, or simply discovering the gift of meditation, this retreat will inspire and empower you to move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

A seven-day retreat with Shunyamurti is an authentic rite of passage. The retreat will include essential teachings on the subjects of yoga, meditation, and spiritual development. Enjoy the pristine natural setting of the Sat Yoga Ashram, as well as delicious and healthful vegetarian meals.

Shunyamurti offers a transfusion of empowering knowledge that will enable you to overcome self-defeating tendencies, bring clarity, renew your life energy, and inspire your freedom and creative power.

Retreat Theme

It is time to face the implications of our arrival at the historic moment of witnessing the death throes of our planetary civilization. We understand that there is no solution on the social or political level. Our only rational hope is for a large-scale shift of human consciousness to a higher level—a much higher level.

Is such a spiritual revolution possible? What is the science behind it? How to attain the egoless presence that is the Buddha Mind (or Christ consciousness, Paramatman, Allah, or whatever term you prefer)? Is sudden enlightenment really possible? Can we shed the ego like a snake sheds its outgrown skin? The sages say we are designed for just that.

r the Sat Guru Sri Ramana, Shunyamurti will endeavor to describe His state of supreme consciousness and the differences between His usual teaching of Drishti-Shrishti-Vada, the penultimate teaching of the mind-boggling Eka-Jiva-Vada, and nearly inconceivable ultimate revelation of Ajata.

If you wish to accelerate your metamorphosis, and reach the coherence of infinite intelligence, and disseminate the vibratory wave function that will soon manifest a more beautiful and harmonious holographic field, then this retreat will be of great interest to you.​

 

This retreat will bring together ripe and ready souls to build a morphogenetic energy field capable of saturating the consciousness with the purifying Shakti of supernal illumination. We shall sit in the yagya—the sacrificial Fire of Yoga—until the Great Work of alchemical transformation into perfect Avataric Buddhahood is achieved.

About Shunyamurti

Shunyamurti is an adept healer, he is the founder and spiritual director of the Sat Yoga Institute and Ashram.

Many years of meditation practice and training in numerous forms of yoga, including apprenticeship with Baba Hari Dass, ten years of vowed association with a Brahmachari ashram in India, and a special resonance with Sri Ramana Maharshi have been supplemented by the intensive study of Western metaphysics, various forms of psychoanalysis and Jungian dreamwork, as well as Taoism, Kabbalah, and mystical Christianity.

Testimonials

“Really exciting for me is the fact that he (Shunyamurti) combines the Western psychoanalysis with the Eastern teachings. Although I wanted an ashram experience, and I am Indian, I didn’t feel that the ashram experience in India would be sufficient for me.”

Dipika Wishhart, India/Ibiza

“What you get here and what you learn is the thing that can change everything in your life in a permanent way, and that’s the key.  In this place, you can definitely find the answers that you are looking for.”

Brahmachari:

One whose consciousness has merged with Brahman, the Absolute, and thus has been liberated from all desire, fear, attachment, and material frames of reference. Thus, a Brahmachari naturally lives a life of celibacy, simplicity, and inner solitude.

Satsang:

Meditative meetings in which the highest teachings are shared. Shunyamurti also offers guidance during questions and answers to resolve the most difficult and delicate matters of the heart.

Teleological:

Information, energy, or nonlinear change that occurs as the effect of events that take place in the future and alter the past, which is perceived in the present as non-ordinary phenomena, synchronicities, unpredictable emergent properties or other notable explicate arisings. The source of such forces may also lie beyond chronological time, in higher dimensions of the Real.

The process of non-process:

Since awakening is instantaneous, along with the recognition that one was never really in the dream, but enjoying the creation of the dream, it must be understood that making awakening into a process can only be part of the dream, and has nothing to do with Awakening itself.

The Real:

When we speak of the Real, unless otherwise qualified, we mean the Supreme Real. The Supreme Real does not appear. Appearance is not Real. All that appears is empty of true existence. There are no real things. All that is phenomenal is temporary, dependent, and reducible to a wave function of consciousness. The world does not exist independent of consciousness. There is no matter or material world. All is made of consciousness. Pure consciousness is Presence. It is no-thing, non-objective, not in space or time. All that appears in Presence, or to Presence, is an emanation of Presence, but is not different from That. This is one meaning of nonduality.

The Real is also a term used in Lacanian psychoanalysis. What Lacan means by the Real is that aspect of phenomenal appearance which is overwhelming, traumatic, or impossible. We would call that Real One. It is a relative Real, not Absolute. We add that there is a Real Two, which consists of divine love. Love is not an appearance, but it changes appearance, through recognition of its Source, into a divine manifestation, a projection of God’s sublimely beautiful Mind as infinite fractal holographic cosmos. Real Three is the unchanging Absolute, beyond all conception or image.

Dharma and dharma:

When we use the term Dharma (capitalized), we refer to our dedication to living in accord with the timeless principles of impeccable integrity that keep us in harmony with Nature and our Supernatural Source.

When we use the term without capitalization, we refer to our acceptance of the community’s processes, protocols, and chain of command with the “Haji! Spirit” of going the “extra mile” and working overtime when necessary to make the impossible inevitable, as our unconditional act of surrender to Love.
