Open Gate Sangha supports the teachings of Adyashanti and Mukti by making them available to all who sincerely yearn for peace and freedom.

In the days since Adyashanti announced his retirement, we’ve received an incredible outpouring of heartfelt messages from sangha members. We’ve also received many questions about how Adya’s retirement will affect the programs and offerings of Open Gate Sangha.

Rest assured we will continue our mission of making Adya’s and Mukti’s teachings available to the world. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:

How do I access Adya’s September 10 talk?

After publishing his written announcement, Adya gave a talk for Sunday Community Practice in which he shared honestly and openly about the personal feelings and experiences that prompted his decision to retire. We are aware that many people did not have the opportunity to enjoy this poignant and historic talk, so here is a link to a free audio download of the full hour-long recording:

If you prefer to watch the talk in video format, a replay is available to members of Sunday Community Practice. If you sign up as a member before September 23, you will have immediate access to the September 10 video replay. Membership is $25/month and can be canceled at any time. Join here.

How long will Adya continue to teach?

On Wednesday, October 4, Adya will be delivering his last free online broadcast. You can watch it live here or catch the replay on his YouTube channel through October 10.

Adya plans to lead the Sunday Community Practice sessions on September 24, October 8, and October 22. Beginning in November, all Sunday sessions will be led by Mukti. Details about the program and how to join can be found here.

How can I send a message to Adya and/or Mukti?

Notes and messages for Adya and Mukti can be sent via the “Letters” link here. Our teachers are profoundly grateful and deeply touched by the thoughtful messages of support and encouragement they have been receiving. Keep ’em coming!

Will Adya’s social media presence continue?

A growing community of people are discovering Adya’s teachings for the first time on our various social media channels. The communications team at Open Gate Sangha will continue to post free content regularly, including inspirational quotes, video excerpts, and guided meditations on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

Are Gathering Groups still meeting?

Our volunteer Gathering Group hosts are invited and encouraged, now more than ever, to continue providing regular meetings to share Adyashanti’s and Mukti’s teachings with their local communities, online and/or in person. Learn more about Gatherings or search for a group near you here.

Where can I find recordings of Adya’s past talks and meditations?

After retirement, Adya’s legacy will live on in the thousands of hours of in-person talks and online programs he has presented across time. We have assembled an extensive archive of video and audio recordings, spanning a period of over 25 years. Adya’s teachings are timeless, and there is a wealth of insightful material to explore in his library. He has spoken with potent elegance on an amazingly diverse array of topics, therefore there is much to glean from visiting and revisiting his previous teachings.

Audio downloads of Adya’s talks, meditations and retreat sets can be purchase in our online store or you can immerse yourself in one of his exceptional self-guided online courses.

In addition there are two ways to access Adya’s teaching library via monthly subscription:

If you prefer to experience Adya’s teachings in audio format, consider joining Open Gate Sangha’s audio streaming service, The Stream.

If video format is your preference, you can enjoy watching full-length talks and guided meditations through Adya’s YouTube Membership Program.

In our upcoming quarterly newsletter, Mukti will be sharing about her aspirations to make more of our archived recordings of Adyashanti's teachings available in digital format.

Tell me more about Mukti

Mukti has been asked by Adyashanti to lead Open Gate Sangha as head teacher, upon his retirement. She has been teaching as his associate at Open Gate since 2004. Her teachings convey a unique combination of warm heart and insightful, practical wisdom. She is intimately familiar with all facets of Adya’s teachings and brings them forward in unique ways, alongside relatable teachings of her own. Her biographical info can be read here.

Mukti will continue to contribute her insight and wisdom to the sangha, offering monthly live broadcasts, Sunday Community Practice sessions, and longer programs. Announcements of her 2024 schedule will be coming soon. Visit her website.
