Shunyamurti Led Retreats
3-Day Weekend Intensives, 5-Day Retreat, 7-Day Retreat
Both the Shakti Saturation and Sevadhari programs are paired with one of our 3, 5, or 7-Day Shunyamurti led retreats. Each retreat is given a title and theme by Shunyamurti that speaks to a current topic of study in our wisdom school and acts as the centerpiece of the program. These momentous and grounding gatherings for the sangha nourish the heart and provide the path to Self-Realization.
A Place of
Supernatural Intensity
Be prepared for strolling on slopes, at an elevation of around 1100 meters, with alternating bright sunshine and rolling fogbanks, open vistas becoming a white island floating in the Void. The uncanny shifts of temperature and energy—from small rain to distant lightning; from awesome sunsets to starry nights; from the pink and golden morning clouds and the roars of howler monkeys in the trees; to the endless choruses of birdsong, cicadas, and bellowing frogs; to the bursts of fireflies signaling in the darkness—the ancient speech of the natural world will astonish your heart.
Connect with the Community
The people who have chosen to live at the Sat Yoga Ashram—as well as those who come to visit—are a unique selection of original thinkers, artists, activists, and spiritual seekers who have gathered from every part of the world. The magic of Shunyamurti’s presence and teachings, delivered in an energy field of radiant love and sustained by a dedicated community living in harmonious simplicity, will move your heart and bring your soul to blossom as you are filled with feelings too exquisite to describe.
Our community is here to serve you and we know what support you will need as emotions arise and are released…we are here to stabilize you in your deep process of healing. We accompany you at every step of your journey of divine rebirth—your discovery of who you really are—as the ego falls away.
As a preparation for joining us in Costa Rica or simply delving deeply into
Shunyamurti’s teachings, we encourage you to:

But to be of service in this period of cultural dissolution and the violent rupture of normality, we have retooled our unique onsite curriculum to also be available online.
