You are invited to the most exclusive community. Requirements: the etiquette of no label, the glory of humbleness.
A real spiritual community is a family of the Heart.

In humbleness, Love is intrinsic and natural. We only suffer because of the constant struggle to close to Love. The remedy is a conscious community—togetherness in solitude. In the countless mirrors of our souls, the same light echoes. Such community is like an inner world in which sacred solitudes shine in a synergetic reflection.

The magnificence of life lies in a humble heart. So, what is humbleness?
It is a natural Self-Inquiry. It also means asking “Who am I?” with others’ hearts.

Pride is like ripples on water. Humbleness—the everlasting silence of its bottom.
Selfishness is the vanity of self-identifications. Humbleness—the grace of Nothingness.

Criticism is building scales, enhancing separation in the beauty and diversity of life. Humbleness is to see that beauty, Oneness embracing differences.

In the humbleness of not knowing anymore comes jnana, real knowledge. In the humbleness of not being anymore, there is bhakti, Love.

With humbleness comes worship, and worship unlatches your sense of sacredness.

Welcome to the Hridaya Series!

We are delighted to debut the Hridaya Series, a set of videos in which Sahajananda lovingly shares the wisdom of the non-dual vision. In the first installment, Sahaja explores the three dimensions of the Spiritual Heart. The videos were shot during a recent 10-Day Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat in Mazunte and offer a beautiful glimpse into the sacredness of the retreat experience. We hope they kindle your aspiration!

Visit Mazunte

The summer is a great time to visit us in Mexico. Our yoga and meditation retreats are ongoing and our series of 3-day workshops offers valuable ideas on how to practice the teachings in daily life. Join Claud for From Pain to Peace, Luna for Compassionate Communication, and Karin for the Way of Play. Also, please contemplate serving in Mazunte, where we are looking for a marketing manager, a photographer, and a registration assistant.
