QUARTERLY NEWS & OFFERINGS
JULY – SEPTEMBER 2026
| | |
Greetings! We are happy to share this summer newsletter, which features teachings on the nature of not knowing and the Unknown.
For the months of July and August, Adyashanti and Mukti will be on their annual hiatus. While they are away, we will be replaying a few of their most popular, previously aired Free Live Broadcasts and Sunday Community Practice programs. We invite your continued participation while our teachers rest and restore. This could also be an ideal time for you to explore monthly subscription options, including The Stream (audio streaming) and our YouTube Membership Program (video streaming). More information is available below.
Continue reading to explore video excerpts, audio downloads, and our latest news. May these offerings nurture your spiritual practice and deepen your regard for the great mystery as it unfolds.

The Mysterious Unknown
By genuinely loving truth, one becomes more at ease with not knowing. Although not knowing can be uncomfortable in the realm of thought, it is more than familiar in the realm of being. . . .
| | |
Freedom and the Unknown
Human beings have a drive for security and safety, which is often what fuels the spiritual search. This very drive for security and safety is what causes so much misery and confusion. . . .
| | Upcoming Online Programs | | |
Sunday Community Practice
Sunday Community Practice is an ongoing program that focuses on spiritual practice and how it can be lived in daily life. If you would like to practice meditation on a consistent basis, along with others who are dedicated to making enlightened living a priority in their lives, please join us on Sunday mornings.
Try out a single session or join as a monthly subscriber. Each practice is two hours and includes a guided meditation and a talk. Join Mukti as she leads these twice-a-month practices. (Adya often joins in meditation!)

The Freedom of Not Knowing
Now 15% off!
What if reality isn’t what you think it is? What if meditation isn’t what you think it is? What if you aren’t what you think you are? In this 4-download set of the 2015 events in Sedona, Adyashanti strips away the concepts and strategies we carry on the path of spiritual awakening and explores living from the depths of the unknown. By inviting us deep into our divine nothingness, he evokes the real truth of our being where we experience not only transcendent freedom, but also a freedom to love the everythingness of life and be moved by what we cherish most.

Online Retreat Recordings
from Mukti and Adya!
2026 March Weekend Online Retreat
Mukti invites us to allow our nature as awareness to come forward more consciously and penetrate the various parts of ourselves that can reveal so much. Includes three guided meditations by Adya.

Newly Released Classic
from Adya!
The Ultimate Dimension
Within all of us is a place of timelessness, silence, and the absence of struggle. We might believe it is unattainable, but waking up to this dimension doesn’t need to be difficult, nor does it require a crisis.
| | Complimentary Audio Download | | |
It is a paradox to know that we are the mystery while not knowing what the mystery is. Yet despite our not being able to concretely encapsulate the unknown, many of us continue to want to know it more deeply. In this talk and related dialogues, Mukti explores opening to the unknown in a way that not only brings deep comfort with it, but also paradoxically reveals greater vitality, clarity, and revelation.
| | New Teaching Video Excerpts | | Further Exploration of Not Knowing | | Along with the full-length complimentary audio download and new teaching excerpts above, we have curated a collection of Adya’s and Mukti’s teachings on the subject of Not Knowing. We hope that exploring these will help offer new perspectives on your own spiritual journey. | | Open Gate Sangha Community News | |
Open Gate Sangha’s 30th Year
Open Gate Sangha is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. We’ll be honoring these past three decades further in our next newsletter, as Adya began teaching in Fall of 1996. Please stay tuned!

Book Birthday
Twenty years ago Sounds True Publishing released the second edition of Adyashanti’s book, Emptiness Dancing. It has been translated into Spanish, German, Italian, and Chinese language formats and is available in Kindle format in Italian and English. Sounds True Publishing sold the title to St. Martin’s Essentials Publishing Group, a subdivision of Macmillan Publishers last fall. Fun facts: Although this second edition is having its 20-year anniversary, the first edition was published in 2004 and included a self-portrait illustration of Adyashanti.

Gatherings
Since Adyashanti’s retirement in 2023, Open Gate Sangha has been downsizing and reducing our offerings. With great tenderness, we share that we will no longer be taking on new gathering group hosts and locations. Our current list of active gathering groups can be found here: Gatherings. We will continue to list these pre-existing gathering groups for the near future.
With great gratitude, we thank all of you who have participated and continue to participate in supporting each other in your spiritual practice. We extend an especially warm thank you and deep bows to all Open Gate Sangha gathering hosts for all you give and have given to foster dharmic fellowship and to open perspectives and possibilities for spiritual growth.

Mukti, whose name is translated as “liberation,” is the Head Teacher at Open Gate Sangha. She has been teaching in the lineage of Adyashanti since 2004. Her talks point audiences back to their natural state of wholeness or undivided consciousness. For teaching excerpts, audio downloads and CDs, qi gong videos, and a calendar of Mukti’s programs, please visit her website.
If you are new to Mukti, we invite you to watch an inspiring full talk, Potent Mystery (1:25:37).

Adyashanti, author of The Direct Way, Sacred Inquiry, The Way of Liberation and The End of Your World, is an American-born spiritual teacher who has served the awakening of all beings for almost three decades. Although Adya has recently retired, his teachings continue to be an open invitation to stop, inquire, and recognize what is true and liberating at the core of all existence.
