We recommend our students take one on-demand retreat per month and select one or two course topics to study at a time. You can filter on your Student Dashboard by topic and select a course or workshop that most interests you.

Special tip: You can also open the retreats and follow-along guided spiritual practices to support your morning or evening routines!

Another tip: If you want a break from streaming mainstream media, you can also stream any of the many satsangs in the evening hours for some inspiring and nourishing relaxation.
