Some journeys do not require a fixed or urgent destination!

Join Nithya Shanti and friends for a year long adventure in treating "Life As Practice". This is not really a course, it is more a vibrant assortment of opportunities to connect, interact, learn and practice together regularly.

This collective is usually opened for new participants to join every one or two months. Whenever you join, you get access to a full year of practice opportunities from the time you join.

The underlying philosophy / approach:

  1. An attitude of non-striving towards spiritual goals and ideals handed down to us by others / the collective
  2. Approaching our actual life experiences and everything that comes with it as a true teacher and a complete practice - when seen that way!
  3. Expanding our capacity to tap into the wisdom of the collective through sharing, listening and reflecting together - often leading to a kind of deep remembering </aside>

This initiative includes the following opportunities for connection and engagement - each of which are entirely voluntary and optional to participate in according to one’s interest, availability and inclination…

A. Learning & Practice Spaces:

  1. Morning & Evening Practices: Pure practice sessions of 20-30 mins, with little / no interactions. Like all other sessions mentioned here, the schedule for these will be announced 1-2 weeks in advance. These sessions are also recorded. Sample Session.
  2. Mini-Workshops: Dive in and explore specific topics or practices for 2-3 hours. Sample Mini-Workshop.

B. Special Features and Privileges:

  1. Accountability Circles: Decide what new activity or habit you'd like to incorporate into your life. Announce it. Share your progress each week. Keep each other accountable!
  2. Access to Previously Recorded Courses with Nithya Shanti: Based on the principle of ABR and CBR. Access by request. Contribution by request. This is important as it helps sustain the learning platform by covering the hosting fees. Usually at least 20-50% of the original course fees is an appropriate contribution for this purpose. See All Available Courses.
  3. One on One Sessions, Family Sessions & Team Sessions w. Nithya Shanti: At a fraction of Nithya's usual fees. More details on this will be shared with those who sign up. </aside>

C. Interactive Spaces:

  1. The Living Room: A cosy and inviting virtual space for people to connect in (mostly) emergent and agenda-less ways. We will sometimes explore a specific theme or question together. Its a relaxed and reflective space where we learn from and with each other. Feel free to bring a cup of tea / coffee / fav. book along. You can read the experiences of some of the participants here.
  2. The Living Room in the Glass House: Similar to the concept above except that many more people can attend to witness the proceedings and can (possibly) exchange places with those in the Living Room. Sample Glass House.
  3. Book Readings, Story Telling & "Somewhat Funny" Sessions: A space for reflection, inspiration and joy. Sample Book Reading Session.
  4. Success Teams & Gift Circles: A space to help each other clarify and achieve life goals and share resources. </aside>
