Kula Session With Acharya Shunya
We are delighted to invite you to a sacred and transformative experience with Acharya Shunya: the Kula Session, held four times a year at 8:00 AM PT.
​
A Kula is not just a gathering—it is a sacred assembly, a spiritual family united by the shared journey of growth, inquiry, and awakening. It is a unique opportunity to engage with the teachings of Acharya Shunya and explore how Vedic wisdom can illuminate every area of your life.
Support for Sadasyas Living as Householders in a Stressed World
This special opportunity invites both new and ongoing members to connect with Acharya Shunya in a non-teaching, conversational setting. Here, she shares candid insights from her own life and the lessons learned through her journey, while also engaging with reflections and experiences shared by students and disciples.
A Space for Applied Wisdom
The session offers a unique chance to explore how the timeless wisdom of the Vedas can be applied to the realities of modern life, particularly for grihastha yogis (householders) who balance family, work, and spiritual practice amidst the stresses of daily living. It also embraces the perspective of sadhu yogis (renunciants) who seek spiritual growth through simplicity and detachment.
​
Through open and heartfelt conversation, Acharya Shunya provides practical guidance on topics such as:
​
-
Managing the challenges of relationships and family dynamics.
-
Cultivating peace and clarity amidst professional and personal responsibilities.
-
Applying the Yogas of Bhakti, Karma, Upasana, and Jnana in everyday decisions.
-
Navigating the inevitable highs and lows of life with wisdom and grace.
What Happens in a Kula Session?
Kula Sessions are designed to help you apply Vedic wisdom to the practical dimensions of life. Whether you have questions about your personal journey, relationships, or professional challenges, this is the space to seek guidance and explore how the Yogas of Bhakti, Karma, Upasana, and Jnana can empower and transform your path.
​
Ask for Guidance: Sadasyas are encouraged to bring up questions related to their own journey. You can frame your questions in universal terms or share with vulnerability, as long as you feel comfortable being open and receiving answers in a group setting.
Learn by Listening: If you prefer to remain silent, you can still gain immense insight by listening to the questions and experiences of others, which often reflect universal struggles and truths.
