Love is perpetually in the air at Open Gate Sangha, and with Valentine’s Day approaching we are enthusiastically celebrating our affection and appreciation for you, our sangha members, who have served to inspire and sustain us in our mission to bring the teachings of Adyashanti and Mukti to the world.

To symbolize this sense of unity and connection, we invite you to join us on Valentine’s Day, from wherever you are in the world, to sit together for a Loving-Kindness Meditation and silently pour our love into one another (details below).

With Healing Love as the focus for this month’s newsletter, we have included Q&A exchanges with the teachers, complimentary downloads and video teachings, and product recommendations. We also highlight The Stream (our new audio streaming service) and give a heads-up about our long-awaited YouTube membership program which is coming very soon!

Open Gate Sangha warmly invites you to join us and people around the world in a Metta (“Loving-Kindness”) Meditation on Monday, February 14, at 9:00 am Pacific Time. (Check your local time.)

During this dedicated time on Valentine’s Day, may we come together with others in this powerful meditation with the heartful purpose of spreading love and peace among ourselves, our loved ones, and the world at large.

To help with this meditation, we have created a 30-minute video with a starting and ending bell. Below are phrases that can be silently expressed during this meditation. You can add your own personal messages as well.

“May all beings be happy. May all beings be at peace. May all beings be safe. May all beings be free.”

An excerpt from Adya’s message:

“I look at this time away from teaching as a time to rest, heal, and rejuvenate.

“I have entrusted Mukti (my wife and longtime Open Gate Sangha teacher) to assume the head teaching role during my absence.”

We will resume offering in-person programs when we feel confident that we can provide an environment that encourages openness and a feeling of safety, where people can comfortably share lodging and dining together, and in which we can gather safely in close proximity to each other. For now, we will continue to monitor news and information regarding public health concerns. When we feel ready to add an in-person program to the calendar, it will be announced via email in our monthly newsletter and published on the calendar page of our website.
