What we’re about

We meet every two weeks to tap into the group support that can help to humanize and even help guide an authentic meditation practice. This group is the Austin home for the Open Gate Sangha--a very impressive way of saying that we get together to listen to the dharma talks and guided meditations of the profoundly clear and down to Earth teachings of Adyashanti. We also spend 20-30 of the 75 minute group listening to the silence together. After a clip from one of Adya's talks and a 30 minute guided meditation (generally), group members often remark that they sense a sinking into the state of restful stillness much more effortlessly than usual. This group provides a grounding in sanity and authentic practice under the guidance of a teacher who has truly attained the fruit of the practice. It is a powerful way to join in community for Adya appreciators, and a remarkably clear introduction to practice for those getting started and willing to sit still for this time. Afterwards, there is the option of staying for tea and treats to share company with some great people.
