Dear Friends,

I invite you to join the Open Gate Sangha community for a live event in the Northern California Bay Area, where my teaching role began nearly thirty years ago. On this celebratory day, I will share teachings and others will share poetry, stories, and music.

With the sudden onset of Covid in early 2020, I stopped all live-teaching gatherings. Sensing that the climate of in-person events would not resume for some years, Mukti and I moved to my beloved Sierra Nevada mountains. Shortly thereafter, I retired from live teaching. All of this occurred unexpectedly and left me with the feeling that I deeply wanted to offer a final Bay Area teaching event, a day to honor and celebrate the hundreds of deep and abiding student-teacher relationships—in the Bay Area and around the world—that have developed over the years.

Going forward, I plan to occasionally write books; record teachings and broadcasts; and participate in the Sunday Community Practice days. I have, however, retired from my in-person teaching events, both in the U.S. and abroad. So this invitation is to my last known, in-person teaching event. With a Northern California venue, it will be a homecoming, as well as a chance to be together again with each of you in the sacred space of satsang.

Please join me and all of us on staff for this special day of honoring our shared connection in truth.

Many Blessings,
Adyashanti
