In recent years, the theme of healing in our Yogic Mystery School has evolved into one of wholeness. Therefore, we invite you to join our 4-month Immersion in Wholeness into the holidays and the New Year. 

This "immersion" includes three, Day-Long Retreats with Russill, four Wholeness Cooking Classes with Asha, and four Wholeness Discussion Groups with Asha and Russill. You can undertake this immersion as one seamless whole or in individual parts (see below). Everything is conducted online and conveniently undertaken from the comfort of your home.

Those of you who have attended our live retreat in Austin know that our retreat our three full days. As a result of covid, we have planned all three days online but spread out over several months. 

In addition, our Day-Long Zoom retreats coincide and complement Asha's Wholeness Cooking Classes and Wholeness Discussion Groups for those that want to be immersed and informed by the entire experience. Finally, we are including relevant online content on various levels of the Tantric Path, so no matter at what level you consider yourself, you can be nourished by content that matches your interest.

We anticipate this method being quite effective as we will combine live interaction with online content that could be paused or replayed any number of times, along with meditations enhanced with media. In addition, we will dedicate an entire day, Saturday, December 11, to come together in intimate zoom sessions to practice and discuss and pray.

Our first day-long Yogic Mystery School retreat on December 11, 2021, is an "Immersion In Tantra," a time to immerse ourselves in foundational practices that indeed invite us into the authenticity of the Tantric experience. So much of Tantra can be in our heads, which is why we plan this retreat to engage our bodies and in unusual ways. 

We plan on specific exercises and practices during our day-long retreat that we will encounter as a community and in our homes. And, as a community, we discuss the effects of what is happening to grow our perspective. Most of all, our goal is the practice of Presence and its healing power. We also have day-long retreats with Russill online in early 2022, 

Since Asha's live Wholeness Cooking classes are also built into December, starting on Sunday, December 12, we feel that this adds a tremendous contribution to our community as Tantric practitioners since we are exploring the theme of "Foods, Moods, And Mantras." In addition, there are live Wholeness Classes and Discussion Groups in January, February, and March of 2022.

The use of mantras around food has been prevalent in Hindu spirituality from time immemorial; however, we have not explored such mantras in our communal practice and teaching. Therefore, we hope to simulate something of a "virtual ashram experience" by bringing together this aspect of food and cooking with our mantra, Tantra, and meditation practice. 

The Wholeness Discussion Groups that Asha and Russill offer a discussion group on Sunday, December 12, will include elements that are typically not part of our esoteric, Tantric, and Yogic framework. For instance, the role of food in consciousness, spiritual bypass, and emotional healing.

The Wholeness classes and explorations continue into January, February, and March of 2022, as do our day-long Yogic Mystery School retreats. The second day-long retreat, Saturday, February 05, 2022, is an Immersion In Mantra. The final retreat, on Saturday, April 02, 2022, is an Immersion In Mudras.

We believe that the entire 4-month immersion will offer education and community at a depth we've not experienced previously and that it will more than make up for us not being able to come together in person this year.
